Carl F Groupco: “Vertical Sliding sash windows have become a popular choice, especially in the domestic and new build sectors where next-level heritage detailing is essential. The Yale Vertex™ hardware range perfectly complements the aesthetics of these feature-rich windows, so we know it will prove popular with our customers.” said John Crittenden, managing director.
Jack Aluminium: “The initial response to the ID30 range has been incredible. We saw an opportunity to jump on to the rise in ‘broken plan’ living spaces, are we’re proud to say we’ve really bucked the trend - delivering to our customers screens and doors that separate interior spaces, while maintaining high-levels of natural light.” Managing Director, Andy Short.
TAT Precision: “The significant investment in a new extrusion machine has been extremely worthwhile - since launching our in-house recycling scheme, we’ve seen more and more of our customers wanting to give us their unused uPVC materials, and thanks to the new machine, we’re able to grind and melt these down at a much higher rate to produce our screw retention profile bars.” Sales Director Michael Hewitt comments.
Kolorseal: “Everyone has different tastes but there are so many great colour palettes available that will appeal to homeowners and builders looking at attracting buyers into the higher end properties. Colour coating is an attractive window and door alternative that is durable and can be produced in dual shades to blend with internal and external appearances.” Deborah Hendry, Managing Director.
Everglade Windows: “We’re excited to add the aïr 400SS and 700LS to our product portfolio, as it opens up countless opportunities for our customers. While the aïr 500LS and 600LS have been a hugely popular options, these new additions have expanded the range and provide our customers with a simplified door for everyday use.” says,Bhavik Dabasia, Technical Director.
Allan Brothers: “This is the company’s biggest investment in the last fifteen years, which aims to deliver 20 - 25% growth for the company over the next three years. We have for some time been making improvements across the whole company from streamlining back-office sales and purchasing through to the factory floor and dispatch.” said Managing Director, Morten Bach Valsted.
Window Ware: “From commercial applications like restaurants and hotels to domestic installations in the home, there is huge market potential for these slimline bi-fold systems. By stocking this new 25mm backset bi-fold door lock from industry-leaders, Yale, we are actively responding to the way the market is moving and making sure we’re able to support fabricators. ” Product Manager, Rob Vaughan, explained.
Twenty years ago, the IGU sector embraced an enormous change - now it’s time to do so again
Edgetech Managing Director Chris Alderson explores the idea that a new wave of investment in innovation may be required to keep up with legislation.
In 2005, the UK glazing industry was on the brink of major change, driven by the need to dramatically improve the nation’s sustainability. The government’s introduction of Energy Performance Certificates and the emergence of Window Energy Ratings spurred IGU manufacturers to embrace cutting-edge tech and push the sector forward.
Today, it’s the Future Homes Standard which will lead the industry to another technological shift as companies adapt.…»
