DOORS&WINDOWS
NEW COLOUR OFFERING ‘DESIGNED TO DELIVER’
» EPWIN WINDOW SYSTEMS
has launched its new colour
offering across its market-leading
PVC-U system brands. The
new colour offering features up
to 16 Fast Track foil finishes
which includes on-trend colour
choices including Anthracite
Grey Smooth, Cream on White,
Sage, Claystone and Pebble Grey.
Furthermore, Epwin Window
Systems has worked closely with
its sister companies within Group
to offer a range of matching trims
and roofline products to help
customers provide a seamless
finish across an entire building
envelope, and also includes 30
Made to Order options that
reflect modern trends in colour
selection.
Clare O’Hara, Managing
Director of Epwin Window
Systems, said: “Our new colour
offering has been designed to
deliver what our customers
need – making the most popular
colour profiles available on their
next delivery schedule as well as
introducing new shades that look
set to be the next trends in colour.
We’ve listened to our customers
and looked at the market research
so we could develop a range that
suits all sectors and all tastes. We
have also witnessed a growing
trend towards both solid colours
and smooth finishes which has
been reflected in our new offering.
The Made to Order range
includes an expanded selection
of attractive heritage tones, more
of the popular contemporary
greys and a new Ultimatt black
finish, as well as new metallics to
capitalise on the growing demand
for aluminium alternatives.”
Quality has also been escalated
in the new offering too. The use
of a new grey substrate for grey
foil finishes has been extended
across most product groups,
bringing a new level of finish
to these popular shades. And
complementary base colours now
include white, tan, brown, cream
and grey.
All colours in the range will
benefit from Epwin Window
Systems’ investment in state-ofthe-art
colour technology. The
systems company invested in two
new twin lines last year and is
also using the world’s first Luna
R automatic profile wrapping
machine, which is able to wrap
even the most complex of profiles
perfectly. It also reduces set up
times, providing additional
capacity and product accuracy,
which will all benefit Epwin
Window Systems’ customers.

Blink and you’ll miss this sales op
» ODL EUROPE BEGAN A PHASED
and controlled reopening of their business
on 4th May, 2020 and whilst still in the early
stages of business recovery, the Bootle-based
business has already noticed that adding value
to the sale is something that is becoming even
more essential to fabricators and installers.
Andy Meakin, Business Development
Manager of ODL Europe, explains:
“Throughout the lockdown we have continued
to develop a pipeline of strong enquiries
from our online portal for Blink Integral
Blinds along with a steady flow of immediate
orders upon our return. At consumer level,
Blink Blinds answer consumers’ need for
convenience, contemporary style, safety and
low maintenance. And for fabricators and
installers, they offer a real opportunity to
increase your product offer, add value and
increase revenue which is very important at
this time.”
Suitable for windows and doors, Blink
Blinds are the modern alternative to
traditional corded or cordless door and
window blinds and consist of an insulated
glass panel with blinds between the glass.
As a company who continues to invest
in all areas, the business recently undertook
a series of product updates that have been
well received by their growing Blink Integral
Blind customer base. Updates included
improved aesthetics of the blinds with double
valances to hide unwanted joints, an improved
raise, lower and tilt operation with the
operator switch to control the facilities being
redesigned to make it more ergonomic and the
aluminium guiderail is now on the internal
side of the operating channel, a move that
makes inserting the wedge gasket and beading
easier.
Blink Integral Blinds are available in a
selection of colours, each with matching
surround and slats. And ordering is
straightforward by using the online Blink
Blind design and ordering portal.
Andy concludes: “In today’s changed
business landscape, fabricators and installers
will need to look at additional upsell
opportunities to extend their portfolio,
increase customers satisfaction levels and
grow their margins. And with over five
million units sold worldwide Blink Blinds are
the perfect products to help fabricators and
installers achieve just that.”
