Edgetech: Roof Maker is celebrating ten years of partnership with Edgetech. “The more glass a product has, the higher the risk of it losing heat and energy — which is what makes Edgetech's Super Spacer such a vital part of every product we produce,” commented CEO Paul Mildenstein
Brisant Secure: “I was so impressed I made Lock Lock the standard option rather than an upgrade,” says Martin Harris of Qualitere Windows
KOMMERLING: have launched a smooth slate grey foil (one side) for the C70 Gold window and PremiLine patio door systems, in response to customer demand for an additional shade of grey.
Solidor: has added an exciting new Home Visualiser option to its online Door Designer. The new tool is already proving a great hit with homeowners, who can design their new door online and then see what it looks like on their property.
