Saint-Gobain Set To Showcase Benefits Of Glass At FIT Show 2023

How to maximise sales opportunities by having different conversation about the comfort benefits of glass will be the focus for Saint-Gobain Glass when it exhibits at the FIT Show 2023 .
» THE COMPANY ’ S Planitherm Comfort range is used widely in the door and window industry , and provides a range of solutions including energy efficiency , noise reduction , reduced overheating , enhanced security and furniture fade protection .
Marketing Director Michael Butterick said : “ There ’ s a huge opportunity for fabricators and installers to enhance their customer experience , improve profit margins and differentiate their business by offering more choice to consumers who are very often willing to pay for high-performance windows and doors that help them to achieve a more comfortable home . Glass will typically make up 70 % of a window , and plays a big part in maximising comfort within a property – but it ’ s important to choose the right glass based on your customers ’ requirements and budget .
“ Planitherm is manufactured in the UK and is specifically designed to meet the increasing needs of the UK market . We have a wealth of knowledge within the business and our experts will be on hand at the FIT Show to provide guidance and support to fabricators and installers . The FIT Show is the perfect vehicle for us to talk to the industry about the latest product innovations and the solutions that are available today that meet required window performances .”
FIT Show event director , Nickie West said : “ We ’ re extremely pleased that Saint- Gobain Glass will be joining us for our ten-year anniversary event at FIT Show 2023 in May . The Saint-Gobain brand is synonymous with delivering high-performing and innovative glazing solutions to fulfil customer and market needs .
“ I ’ m thrilled that glass will be represented by Saint-Gobain Glass and its team of experts at FIT Show 2023 , which will include being a part of our learning programme as well as providing practical advice and support on the show floor .”

WHITESALES LOOKING TO PARTNER WITH FABRICATORS AT FIT

» WHITESALES HAS BEEN a big name in the rooflights and daylighting market for more than 30 years and has big plans for its first ever FIT Show .
Marketing Director Sioned Yates says : “ Rooflights and lanterns are a fast-growing sector of the market – with buyers demonstrating an increasing willingness to spend more on ever larger sizes and add-on features to achieve the real ‘ wow ’ factor .
“ We make it easy to buy from us with large volumes of standard sizes available from stock – some even for delivery next day . Customers can configure their own rooflights online using RUFUS our digital design and specification tool , and they can choose deliveries direct to site .
“ We believe in old fashioned values when it comes to customer service , all underpinned by the latest high-tech efficiencies in logistics , stockholding , and communication . We have a highly trained team available on the phone or online to advise on everything from fitting rain sensors and electric openers to the rules around Part F and Part L and the reassurance that we will live up to our promises when it comes to on time in full deliveries .
“ Fabricators who come to talk to our team at FIT will see that there ’ s some crucial differences between Whitesales and the rooflight suppliers they might already be dealing with . The biggest one is that rooflights are our core business , which doesn ’ t just mean we ’ re experts in these products but crucially that we won ’ t compete with our customers on windows and doors . We also don ’ t supply the retail market direct , so we pass on all the retail enquiries generated via our website to our customers .”
The Whitesales stand at FIT will feature a mix of products – including a new , easy-to-fit Whitesales lantern ; the stylish , contemporary em . glaze flat glass roof light , and a mix of polycarbonate domes and sky tubes . Fabricators and installers will be invited to sample the Whitesales service and – in a nod to what they can expect once they partner with Whitesales , have time and space to relax .
