» HIGH-PERFORMANCE
fasteners from Rapierstar are
helping leading Scottish window
and door manufacturer the
Saveheat Group, to deliver
consistently high quality finished
products across its PVCu trade
window and door portfolio, with its
Blairs PVCu business now joining
sister company Merlin Network in
using StarPVCU® fixings.
Based at Greenock near
Glasgow, Blairs PVCu is a
rapidly growing force in the trade
window, door and conservatory
market in the West of Scotland.
The business was launched by
long-established Blairs Timber
in 2019, enabling over 100 years
of experience in windowmaking
to be applied to the manufacture
of KÖMMERLING O70 Gold
system windows and doors.
Blairs PVCu complements its
Saveheat Group sister company
Merlin Network, who have been
manufacturing PVCu windows
and doors in Fife for more than
40 years. Benefiting from its
strong relationship with Merlin
Network and being able to apply
its expertise and experience, Blairs
PVCu has developed a quality
specification which includes
a commitment to using only
market-leading hardware and
components throughout its range.
Key to this is the use
of Rapierstar StarPVCU®
branded fasteners throughout
the manufacture of all Blairs
PVCu windows, doors and
conservatories. These are used
in accordance with Rapierstar’s
detailed guidance provided
through its KÖMMERLING
O70 Gold system Recommended
Fixing Manual (RFM), which
can be downloaded from www.

Joe Boyd, Operations Manager
at Blairs PVCu Windows &
Doors said: “Rapierstar fasteners
are used in window and door
manufacturing throughout our
Greenock factory, in the same
way our colleagues do at Merlin
Network, for very good reason.
Our trade customers demand
quality that exceeds customer
expectations and that can be easily
undermined when poor quality or
badly applied fasteners are used in
manufacture. That’s why we really
value Rapierstar’s product range
and technical support, ensuring
we can maintain a competitive
advantage with our quality
assurance.”
Blairs PVCu operates a
120,000 sq. ft. state-of-theart
manufacturing facility at
Greenock which is optimised for
the production of high quality
frames, made right first time, on
time. Robust Quality Control
and Management procedures
coupled with CNC computerised
cutting, prepping and welding
centres ensure only top quality
products leave its factory to serve
its growing customer base.
