» CLEARVIEW GLAZIERS HAS reported an impressive year-on-year growth since fabricating Stellar , the multi-award-winning aluminium window and door system from Epwin Window Systems . The company was the first fabricator to sign up to the system when it made its market debut at Fit Show 2019 , and it ’ s proved to be a wise decision .

Clearview Glaziers is based in Peterborough and works in the domestic , trade and commercial sectors . It manufactures the complete Stellar portfolio including the newly launched Sellar Flush Tilt & Turn window and the Stellar Slimline bifold door . Growth has been so healthy that the fabricator has recently invested in a new CNC machine that will increase production output by a further 20 %.

Robin Squibb , Clearview ’ s Director , commented : “ We knew when we first saw Stellar that it was a step-change in aluminium system design and we haven ’ t been disappointed . We continue to see

year-on-year growth and it ’ s a trend we are confident will continue .

“ Stellar is proving very popular with our customers because it ’ s the complete package . Consumers love the high-end aesthetics that can transform their properties with its flush , contemporary styling . And our installing customers appreciate the speed and ease of fitting high-quality aluminium products .

“ The Flush Tilt & Turn and Slimline bifold door are the latest additions to the range and they ’ re already proving valuable additions . The new investment will support our growth strategy while continuing to deliver the exceptional quality we are known for .”

Stellar is aimed at the domestic and light commercial sectors and , as Clearview knows , has everything those markets demand . Neil Smith , Head of Sales ( aluminium ) at Epwin Window Systems said : “ Stellar was designed to offer exceptional aesthetics and it has the slimmest

sightlines on the market . For installers , features such as patented knock-in beads speed up glazing and leave a higher quality finish . Add in thermal efficiency that meets new Part L of building regulations as standard , and you have a winning package .”
