Clear Thinking Software: "Glass Office system has been far more flexible than software I've used before, and the Clear Thinking team have listened to what we want and made changes to help our productivity and efficiency - this has helped us significantly on our journey to get our OTIF (On Time In Full) to 100%" .Sam Croft - operations manager Epwin Glass
Pilkington: "From an aesthetic perspective, it's fair to say the impact of these glass boxes is impressive, tastefully blending modern cubic, transparent elements with the exterior façade and terrace all the while maintaining the historic charm." Said Jeff Haber, managing partner at W&W Glass.
HEGLA UK: "As a faster and more effective option than alternatives on the market, the laser technology from HEGLA demonstrates why it is not sufficient to just have the ability to laser glass. Today laser systems have to be mounted on equipment that can run 24/7." Managing Director, Steve Goble.
Rapierstar: "In over 25 years we have never seen a fastener health check come back with a perfect 100% score. That suggests that every fabricator can improve their business simply by taking a step back and thinking about whether the various fasteners used throughout window and door construction are the best ones for the job. " Says David Furness MD.
Vista Group: "At Sure4Doors our name means everything to us, as installing doors and securing homes is what we do. To find the right supplier to work with we needed a company that could provide high-quality doors without compromise, and Vista ticked all the boxes". added Managing Director Darren Haywood.
VBH (GB) Ltd: "The standard 10-year guarantee on greenteQ products, suited colour options, good functionality and competitive prices are all factors our customers rely on. The quality of the products is excellent and ensures we continue to deliver high performance windows and doors." comments Sales and Marketing Director at Modplan Justin Williams.
Titon: "Obtaining Secured by Design approval for our Venture and Adventure friction hinges is an outstanding achievement. This further demonstrates our commitment to producing safe, secure and sustainable hardware, joining our ever-growing portfolio of PAS 24 compliant products." Said Sales & Marketing Director Tyson Anderson
CMS Window Systems: "The AEB is an exciting project which is set to play a significant role globally in the development of new engine technology to suit a low carbon future. HASSELL’s design superbly reflects the importance of the pioneering work being undertaken " said Aluminium Contracts Director Stephen Anderson.
Edgetech: "At the time of writing, I'm evaluating no less than five potential new products, capable of delivering the same outstanding performance the industry has come to expect from us, using materials that are more readily available. We'll be able to help our customers face up to the challenges of the modern marketplace better than ever before." comments Managing Director Chris Alderson.
Letter to the Editor - Niche to making at scale
Dear Ian,
The flush sash market is growing rapidly, and research among fabricators indicates that it's forecast to grow from an attractive niche to a mainstream window. But, if fabricators want to supply this growth market they need an economic way to make flush windows at scale.
It's growing fast because homeowners love minimal maintenance and windows which look wooden, even on the joints.
For many years there was virtually only one way to make PVC-U windows - that's with 45° corner welds - but fabricators have several timber-alternative options now, windows with mechanical joints, ones with a half joint or full timber look on both sides. …»
Yours sincerely
Alan Burgess
Managing Director, Timberweld
