Morley Glass & Glazing:“ It is fantastic to be able to offer the slimline SL16 system in a range of colours that is really in tune with today’s home décor trends, just as we do with all the other ScreenLine® integral blind systems. The SL16 is certainly not a niche product,” said Ian Short, managing director

ODL Europe:“As soon as the summer heat hits, we hear the same thing from installers - frustration with alternative composite doors that become ‘bent like a banana’ The callbacks and reputational damage that follows is costly. With ODL Europe’s door slabs, those concerns are eliminated thanks to our product’s inherent structural stability,” explains Suzanne Nicholl, head of sales and marketing.

ERA Products:“The Flush Double Cam locking system offers a high-performance, easy-to-install solution that doesn’t compromise on functionality, security or aesthetics. Perfectly suited for today’s modern flush window systems with up to three sets of double locking cams to secure the sash to the frame, to provide strength and security along the full locking edge of the window,” said Rishi Harbias, technical product manager.

Pilkington United Kingdom: “Texture by Pilkington has been manufactured by our team in St Helens since 1852 and we’re proud to continue that legacy with this new rolled glass line. It represents a meaningful step forward, not just in securing the future of texture glass manufacturing, but in significantly lowering the carbon footprint of the range,” said Neil Syder, managing director.

Deceuninck:“As a PVC-U business we cemented our reputation for service, support and flexibility, during the pandemic, with an industry leading OTIF,still consistently above 98%, we continue to deliver an outstanding service, combined with exceptional marketing support. We’re now extending that in-depth resource, the flexibility and the personal touch that we bring to PVC-U systems supply, to Deceuninck Aluminium.” General Manager,Darren Woodcock.

As summer slows, uncertainty grows: What’s next for the UK’s fenestration sector?

Neil Evans, Managing Director at VEKA plc, gives his thoughts on the current market and explains what VEKA is doing to help its customers steady the waves.

It’s a clichéd yet almost obligatory way to start any discussion at the moment, but we really are living through unprecedented times.

The global outlook is not short on volatility, with geopolitical happenings, economic pressures and shifting consumer behaviours all reshaping markets daily. And while some of these forces often appear far removed, their effects ripple quickly into local industries like ours.

Aluminium, simplified

With an industry leading OTIF on PVC-U, Deceuninck has committed to redefine expectations of service in aluminium with a major restructure of Deceuninck Aluminium, bringing new flexibility and expert technical support to its ultra-energy efficient system, Decalu.

The impact and influence aluminium is having on the UK window and door industry is clear cut - but despite its potential reach, entering the aluminium market is not always simple, while service and support levels frequently trail those of PVC-U systems companies.
