Aluminium
Even the logo goes eco
» DAVE AND IAN OF D & I Windows have worked in fenestration long enough to witness every trend . But , from the ‘ white gold ’ PVCu door and window boom to slim , sleek aluminium sightlines of the ‘ Grand Designs ’ generation – and everything in between – there ’ s one colour and its connotations that the business backs so strongly , it ’ s even in the logo : Green . |

“ We ’ ve gone through quite a lot of changes at D & I ,” comments Dave Saxon , co-owner and founder of the company . “ None more so than making the switch from PVCu to aluminium . We made this decision for a variety of factors , but a significant part of the switch is that aluminium is a much more sustainable system and better for the environment . |
“ From a design pointof-view it complements the aluminium lifestyle imagery in a really attractive way , but from |
|
an eco-conscious standpoint , green makes a proud statement on sustainability for all of our customers to see . We considered changing to grey for aluminium , but have actually decided to nail our colours to the mast – literally when it comes to sustainability – by using tones of green .”

Aluminium hardware further opens up for fabricators
» LEADING ALUMINIUM BI-FOLD hardware supplier AT Precision is now supplying Cortizo-compatible hardware , opening up further availability for its fabricator customers .
Since early 2020 , the Durham-based company has been supplying its Everglide range of bi-fold hardware , which includes door rollers , top guides , pull handles , cleats and shootbolt handles , as well as the Everseal range of high-quality gaskets .
Both ranges are compatible with most major systems , and because they ’ re manufactured in-house , come at a very affordable rate , potentially saving aluminium fabricators thousands of pounds a year .
Sales Director Michael Hewitt comments : “ Most fabricators want to save the hassle by sourcing their bi-fold hardware directly from their systems company . But by coming to AT Precision instead , they ’ re able to get their hands on quality hardware at a much more affordable rate .
“ This is something we ’ ve been offering since we opened our doors , serving to fabricators using almost any system on the market . Now , that list also includes Cortizo .
“ With over 100 fabricators across the UK manufacturing Cortizo bi-fold doors , this investment has significantly increased our potential to grow our customer base .”
