Edgetech (UK) Ltd:“It helps deliver outstanding performance, contributing to the energy efficiency and durability of the end product by improving thermal performance and minimising condensation, while simplifying production and installation - exactly what modern, sustainable construction needs”, commented Mike Moran, Edgetech’s Vice President of Sales (Europe & UK) .

Kenrick:“Smart Glaze works with trade builders, renovators and property developers. The AK Touch Secure™ offers an innovative way for them to add value to their projects. ”, Andy Meakin, sales and marketing manager, said. .

Carl F Groupco:“MACO wireless sensors instantly add intelligence to windows and doors by detecting whether they are open or closed. They offer a simple, easy-to-install solution to meet the growing demand for smart home integration, making them an ideal upselling opportunity for both fabricators and installers”, said CEO, Owen Coop.

Vacuum Glazing UK:“We’ve seen too many projects compromised by glass that fails within a few year., This 25-year warranty reinforces what our testing has proven for years: LandVac delivers performance that lasts”, said Andrew Madge, director.

Apeer:confirms 0.85W/mK². U-value rating “ There are two points I want to make clear about this announcement. First, the fact that Apeer has achieved verifiably such a low U-value is a source of great confidence for installers throughout the UK and Ireland who want to make sure they are fitting products which are fit for purpose and meet regulations“ - ”Secondly, as an industry we MUST make sure that we are working on a level playing field and not gaslighting the homeowner on this crucial issue of thermal efficiency”, managing director Asa McGillian.

Glideline:“We’ve always recognised the real value and appeal sliding doors bring to the market, so for us, this research only confirms what we already know. In an age where minimalism is a must-have, you need to have the products to deliver all of that and more, and bifold doors are a long way from hitting the mark”, says David Pickering,’s Managing Director.

Hot box testing confirms 0.85 W/mK² U-value rating on Apeer 70mm composite door

As part of its ongoing commitment to manufacturing the most thermally efficient composite doors on the UK market, Apeer confirms that recent hot box testing of its 70mm range has been confirmed by IFT Rosenheim to have a U-value rating of 0.85 W/mK².

The company was keen to provide independent evidence of the thermal performance of its doors within the framework of a building envelope, and the results proved to be even better than managing director Asa McGillian could have predicted. Simultaneous testing of a competitive door gave the result of 2.0 W/mK², despite claims of a U-value of 0.7- 0.9 W/mK².
