» EPWIN WINDOW Systems has won New Product of the Year at the prestigious G22 Awards for its Stellar Aluminium window and door system ( Part L ). The newly designed aluminium window and door system won for its developments to future-proof the system for the new Part L of Building Regulations as well as the more stringent regulations that will come into force over the coming years as the government continues its push towards net zero .
Clare Bailey , Managing Director at Epwin Window Systems said : “ The strength of Stellar ’ s design is reflected in this award . One of the defining factors in the development of the original Stellar system was a refusal to compromise in search of excellence . It is
|
a commitment that is still in evidence in the development of the new Stellar window and door system . It ’ s fantastic to see the efforts of the talented Epwin Window Systems ’ teams recognised in this award . We are thrilled .”
The original Stellar aluminium system was launched in 2019 . It took the market by storm and was acclaimed by fabricators and installers as setting a new benchmark for a retail aluminium system thanks to the system ’ s unique flush aesthetics and multiple patented design features .
Clare said : “ The new Stellar aluminium system demonstrates a level of ingenuity and innovation that the fenestration industry can take pride in . There are few systems that are so comprehensively
|
re-evaluated at any point in their lifespan , let alone just two years in . It reflects a desire to blaze a trail in the industry and set new standards for technical benefits and aesthetic advantages to give our customers a competitive edge .”
The original Stellar system took a ground-up approach to its design , questioning every element of traditional
|
aluminium window construction and looking for ways to improve it . Such refusal to compromise is an impressive commitment and one in evidence in the new Stellar aluminium window and door system , qualities that impressed the G22 Awards judges .

» “ IN A TIGHTENING market , it ’ s the desire to stand out from the competition which is fuelling growth ,” says founder and CEO Chris Brunsdon . “ Work isn ’ t just coming through the door anymore and installers are looking for an edge ; something to impress customers and keep those conversion rates up . Framepoint ® |
is built to help installers sell with wow – it ’ s the tool for the job .”
The value of work quoted by installers on Framepoint ® is on the rise too ; over £ 114 million of supply and fit work was quoted via the platform in
|
the month of November , a new monthly high .
Rising average quote values are also a feature with quote values averaging £ 6965 over the last three months , compared to £ 5795 in the same period last year . Tommy Trinder report that more than just under 19,000 homeowners have received a quote generated by Framepoint ® in the last three months and , notably , around half of them were provided with visualisations to accompany their quote .
“ Framepoint ® subscribers have always been able get a bit more on every job because it ’ s so easy to show off premium features such as foils , dual colours , dummy vents , mechanical joints , flush casements , surface mounted bars in a very visual
|
way . But clearly double-digit inflation and the impact of ongoing instability in the price of glass , resin , aluminium and steel are all filtering through to the price the homeowner is paying for their windows and doors ,” says Chris .
“ The makeover tool , where installers provide a mock-up to the homeowner of their new windows in situ , is definitely becoming a staple part of the quoting process . Nearly 50 % of homeowners receive them , currently . When you consider the ease with which consumers are able to model other significant purchases like cars or kitchens , it feels inevitable that offering the client a visual of windows and doors will become the norm .”
