This week in short
Brisant Secure: - has launched Ultion Padlock, named because it contains Ultion, Brisant's high security cylinder door lock. Ultion Padlock gives homeowners the same unrivalled security.
Haffner Murat: - If you're only going to invest in one welder, make it this one, the market-leading SMR-4 4 Head Welder is up to four times faster than conventional welders.
Endurance Doors: - in these last five months has enjoyed an influx of over 200 firm trade enquiries from companies looking for a better performing entrance door.
Exlabesa: -launches new aluminium bifolding door, classic slim sightlines of an aluminium bifolding door, available in sculptured or square sash options.
FrameXpress: -change to Optima is a positive move, the leading trade fabricator has experienced an extremely busy period since its introduction with great feedback from customers, end users and specifiers.
Ultraframe: - six years ago transformed the conservatory industry with the development of two industry-changing components – Cornice and LivinRoom insulated pelmet, with many retailers citing upwards of 50% of their installations containing LivinRoom, Cornice or both.
Edgetech: -super spacer premium plus – the best match for plus-sized IGUs. It's not just a case of making standard IGUs bigger – oversized units can’t be treated in the same way.
Kömmerling: - it's been over a year now since the launch of the ground-breaking PremiLine PRO. This is a Secured by Design patio door system that has achieved PAS 24 without the need for plunge bolts.
HEGLA: - is at the forefront of the industry particularly in relation to products such as the RAPIDSTORE Automatic Shuttle System which provides many unique options.
Emmegi: - popular TKE259 sealant applicator automatically optimises the amount of sealant required on each surface and so eliminates wastage and minimises messy overspill. It is already being used by some of the UK's biggest names in aluminium fabrication.

Letter to the Editor - The year of the flush sash, Martin Dickie Residence Collection
Dear Ian
Is this the year of the flush sash? Most systems companies have launched one, or added one or two profiles to create a flush sash look. In the main, they're the same window with a new face rather than a new flush system, so there are compromises.
Some imply that planners will permit their windows in conservation areas. But it's not fair to lead installers on.
For decades, PVC casements were excluded from conservation areas because the windows didn’t match the look, various dimensions and detailing of the windows they were intended to replace. If they didn't match them they had to come out, which hit installers' costs and reputations. ..[ more ]
Sincerely
Martin Dickie,
Managing Director, Residence Collection
