The Fenestration News Bulletin this week will be sent to more than 15,000 recipients in just over 9,000 organisations aligned to the Window Industry. Making it an effective delivery platform to get your Companies message across. This week on the main Fenestration News web site we have 62 new industry stories and 9 new vacancies, some of which are below. In The News We have mail. Kevin Harvey MD of Avocet Hardware is keen to point out that some companies in a downturn are quick to drop the activities that in reality secure their future. Although on a mute point (and not to detract from the Avocets aims) 99% of door call-backs are as a result of poor installation – frame packing, glass packing being the prime culprits. Alignment via hardware is just being lazy and only delays the inevitable. As if to reinforce part of the above premise, Mark Warren MD of " " takes a holistic view of business survival, and identifies his approach to growth. In doing so he also identifies a trend from the bureaucrats and regulators that seem to introduce ‘bright ideas’ that have nothing to do with advancement of standards or protection of the consumer. It is more them justifying their own existences and income stream. continued below........... " " - advertisement 
In the news we have new and updated composite door offerings from Rockdoor, Liniar & Doorstop, which reminds us of the most common question asked by the consumers who find their way onto these pages. “Where can I get a black door, just like the one at Number 10, a good looking door with the look of well painted wood?” The point being made is that if a painter was to paint a wood door black and the exaggerated grain showed through, they wouldn’t get paid. Thermoseal Group has joined the warm-edge community, with a product offering more akin to the traditional designs and using conventional methods of IGU manufacture. The ‘Passive House’ moves a step closer in the UK, as Glas Facades joins AM Profiles with windows capable of getting under the 0.8 W/m2K requirement.

Remember to update your links to the main Fenestration News website www.fenestrationNews.com This is important if you consume the RSS feeds The Sustainable Business Approach As we look for signs of recovery from the global recession, Mark Warren of " " takes a surprisingly holistic view of business survival. We’re reading that the green shoots of recovery have begun to push through. So the recession’s over, right? Wrong. As the world economy recovers we’re likely to see yet more business failures as the financial damage incurred in the slump starts to reap its toll. When it became clear that a recession was approaching, a great many companies responded by cutting back. That’s a sound response, provided it doesn’t reduce the company’s ability to make money. Strangely though, this seems to be the essential element that so many people miss. They cut back on sales and marketing, they reduce their production capacity; frequently they also reduce their prices. They appear to survive, but they’ve actually entered a spiral dive from which they’ll never recover. A business can run for a surprisingly long time while making losses, but once the cash runs out, it’s all over. …[ more ]
Mark Warren. In Box Letter to the Editor - Avocet Dear Ian In a downturn, some of the first areas to suffer from cut backs are those which matter the most. The ones that will help a company ride out the storm – service, training, marketing and product development. But providing customers with new and innovative products in particular helps customers sell more, and make more on the sales they get. Developing innovative products which take the hassle and cost out of fabricating and installing doors is a far bigger benefit now that it was in boom times. …[ more ] Yours sincerely
Kevin Harvey In Box Letter to the Editor - HL Plastics Dear Ian There was a touch of self-congratulation in recent reports that the industry is on course to meet its obligation to stop using lead in PVC-U. The obligation refers to the Vinyl 2010 voluntary agreement to a 50% reduction in lead by 2010 and a complete phase out by 2015. But is clapping premature? Systems companies that could easily change have done so. A number tried to go lead-free, couldn’t get it right, and had to switch back to lead. The deadline may seem far off, but the difficulties they experienced do not appear to have been resolved. It costs money to change, especially if new tooling or retuned tooling is required to work with lead free materials. So their fabricators are forced to compete, selling non-green products to homeowners who want to go green …[ more ] . Yours sincerely
