Framexpress: “The response we’ve had from our Ali by Framexpress range has been fantastic. We launched a smaller number of products initially to test the waters, and it wasn’t long before we had requests for new door configurations. We had the infrastructure and expertise to make it happen, so we’re glad we can now deliver those for customers too.” Jonny Green, Principal Product Manager

Glyngary: “It’s been impossible to ignore how popular timber has become, largely because of its strong sustainability, energy efficiency, and durability credentials - and this popularity has created an excellent opportunity for growth.” says Richard Barlow, Managing Director at Supply 2 Trade.

Pilkington UK: “Our collaboration with Pilkington UK represents a significant step forward in our building products supply chain strategy. By working closer together, we can drive innovation in key projects, enhance sustainability, and bring about long-term environmental benefits.” Stated Graham Edgell, Group Director of Procurement and Sustainability at Morgan Sindall

Pure Vista: The Edge Mounting Plate is a revolutionary modular product which turns Pure Vista’s popular POSIglaze and POSIone frameless glass balustrade systems into an ‘F’ profile. This allows for installation directly to the edge of concrete substrates.

Kenrick:“The AK Touch Secure™ is very different. It allows us to upsell smart technology to the trade, commercial and retail sectors. Plus, because it can be retrofitted, it opens up additional opportunities for installers to revisit previous door sales for an added value upsell.” said Peter Adams, General Manager at Capital Windows.

Swisspacer:“At Swisspacer, we attach great importance to providing our customers and partners with transparent and verified data about our carbon footprint. The EPDs offer us the opportunity to clearly show where we stand and where we can develop further. We are not only focussing on renewable energies, but also on circular approaches and resource conservation.” emphasises Sarah Sattler, Sales & Marketing Director

Affordable Window Systems.: “The data confirms the enduring popularity of grey for windows. Nearly half of our orders featured a grey shade on the exterior, with Agate Grey leading the pack at approximately 27%.” says Amelia Gaughan, Head of Marketing

Vertik-Al applies more warmer tones in 2024

Vertik-Al’s annual colour audit has shown that 2024 was dominated by neutrals and various shades of grey, especially warm greys.

Khaki Grey, Moss Grey, Silk Grey and Pebble Grey all rank in the company’s top 20 most used powder colours 2024. Unlike the perennially popular Anthracite Grey, Basalt Grey, Slate Grey and Black Grey, these greys are much softer. Warm and calming, they work particularly well in spaces with good natural light and are enriched by sunlight. Their increased use suggests the cool grey trend may be in decline!
