» KIT-FAB SUPPLIES OF COUNTY Limerick , Ireland , has been sourcing Roto Inowa Hardware from leading independent hardware supplier Carl F Groupco for three years . As an approved fabricator for Aluplast ’ s PVC-U Smart-Slide Door , only the best hardware will do .

Barclay Costello , Managing Director at Kit-Fab Supplies , says the Roto hardware more than fits the bill , while the partnership with Carl F Groupco has added even more value . He said : “ This partnership has been the key to success with this fantastic product . Trade customers are delighted with the weather tightness , ease of operation and installation .”

Justin Costello , Promotion Manager at Kit-Fab Supplies , said : “ There are many considerations when you choose a supplier to support your business . Quality and reliability are two immediate factors , but you also need access to the best range of products that present a tangible high-quality difference to your offering .

“ We have had nothing but great reviews for the Smart-Slide Door since we started manufacturing it three years ago . The high-quality credentials of the Roto Inowa sliding door hardware is part of that success .”

The popular Smart-Slide Door design allows the door sash to slide smoothly and freely . Once the handles are engaged , the sash moves out from the frame and slides

free from all seals . The Roto Inowa sliding door hardware wraps the sash with rollers top and bottom and has locking on both the verticals , delivering superior security and weathertightness as the door sash is locked and compressed against gasket seals on all sides .

Carl F Groupco is a major stockist of Roto hardware , and Julie Warner , Carl F Groupco ’ s Roto product manager , said : “ The Roto Patio Inowa range is a prevalent choice for customers looking to differentiate their offer . It meets the stringent requirements of the BS EN 13126-17 rain and air impermeability tests and can achieve PAS 24 compliance with its secure locking points in the mullion , V-locking cams and its lockable handle with drilling protection . Every element of the hardware range is of the highest quality , something that ’ s appreciated by Kit-Fab Supplies .”
