profine UK( Kömmerling): “We’ve added the base grey option following a testing programme in Germany in terms of material specification and are now offering this with a proSmooth anthracite grey finish from stock. It’s also part of a larger project to look at new laminate finishes to ensure that our customers are on-trend with the latest consumer influences.” commented Kevin Warner, sales and marketing director
ODL Europe: “Traditional cottage door designs have always looked good in older homes. But they also bring traditional charm to more modern properties which makes them an incredibly flexible choice.” commented Suzanne Nicholl, head of sales and customer services.
Carl F Groupco: “Despite market conditions, we are continuing to hold strong stock levels at £5 million to support the market and remain a reliable partner to our customers during these turbulent times. Our investment in stock inventory at our Peterborough and Cumbernauld distribution centres allows us to offer short lead times and a high level of customer service.” said Managing Director John Crittenden.
Builders Merchants Building Index (BMBI): “Merchant sales in August recovered with double digit value growth after a flat July. But volumes were down while inflation continued to surge. The uplift in sales may be attributable to an increase in new work in the construction sector during August,” said Mike Rigby, CEO of MRA Research which produces this report.
Kombimatec Machines: “Growth is expected to continue as fabricators need to invest in more automation in order to overcome the labour shortages that persist in the market and increase productivity. We have seen steady increases for both the AMC308 and AMC602 machining centres and our DGS530 electronic saws for this very reason. We have also noticed a spike in sales for our CR5650 Trickle Vent Router coinciding with the recent change in regulations”Director David Parsons went on to explain
Granada’s secondary glazing turns down the volume at university facility
Rather than eliminating external noise, secondary glazing manufactured by Granada Secondary Glazing has been installed to keep the noise in at a university’s music department and prevent disturbance to nearby residents.
Although more commonly specified to reduce noise intrusion in buildings, secondary glazing is equally effective at stopping excessive sound levels leaking out due to its superior acoustic insulation performance.
