INDUSTRY NEWS

Launch events create industry-wide buzz

Liniar , the UK ’ s leading PVCu systems company and a subsidiary of Quanex , launched its new Zero | 90 and Zero | 90R window and door system at the end of January to huge industry acclaim .
» ATTENDED BY MORE than 200 delegates over two days , the Zero | 90 launch has caused a considerable stir in both the fenestration and construction industries .
The new window and door system can easily reach U-Values of 0.66 W / m ² K , meaning that Zero | 90 Liniar fabricators are more than ready for the widely anticipated changes to Part L Building Regulations and the Future Homes Standard – two years early .
The feedback from both days has been tremendously positive with comments such as “ Informative , well presented and professional ” and “ Superb , the most impressive launch I ’ ve attended for some time .”
Nigel Bishop , Group Sales Director comments , “ We ’ ve been overwhelmed by the feedback from our events . The buzz in the room was fantastic on both days and the whole of the Liniar team are still on
a high . We are a progressive , innovative company and it was a privilege to host the launch of such a ground-breaking window and door system . Zero | 90 will continue to position Liniar at the forefront of the fenestration industry in creating the most energy efficient products .”
Nigel was joined by Chris Armes , Design & Development Director and Paul Garforth , Technical Services Director , who described the evolution of PVCu windows and explained why the industry should be pushing the boundaries to stay ahead of legislation . Their presentation also conveyed the combined benefits that Zero | 90 ( and its rebated sister , Zero | 90R ) will bring to the new build , social housing and replacement markets – namely superb energy efficiency to Passive House standards , noise reductions of twice that of standard double glazing and sustainability , with calculations
for a full house installation showing carbon reductions equivalent to planting 700 trees .
Nigel continues , “ We know we all need to do whatever we can to reduce carbon emissions . As well as being on our own Net Zero journey from a manufacturing perspective , Liniar is helping its fabricators and installers embrace the future Part L Building Regulations and Future Homes Standard now . Our philosophy is : Why wait ? We ’ ve invested £ millions into the development of the Zero | 90 window and door system and are already seeing an unprecedented wave of enquiries for this unique 90mm system . Best of all , it ’ s available right now – we already have a network of enthusiastic fabricators ready to supply super energy efficient windows and doors .”
Sue Davenport , Group Marketing Director , concludes : “ We ’ re delighted with the
reception of the whole Zero | 90 launch . The events themselves were a great opportunity to get customers , the press and the wider industry together and were the end result of months of fantastic teamwork . The engagement in the room was incredible , the feedback afterwards was brilliant and we ’ re still seeing positive comments across our social media channels .
“ We ’ ve already had a huge number of enquiries from our fabricator network wanting to manufacture Zero | 90 and also from house builders and architects who are enthusiastic about being able to offer a genuinely game-changing window and door system . Zero | 90 will help give them all a competitive edge in an increasingly environmentally conscious market .”
