Installer Benefits Ultimately the aim is to ensure installation is as straightforward as possible , saving the fitter time and therefore saving money for the consumer , and maximising profit for the trade partner . The industry-leading Korniche lantern stands by its impressive ability to be ‘ fitted in minutes and glazed in seconds ’ owing to its unique design . There are no visible fixings on show and all joints are seamless . This means perfect aesthetics as it meets the eye and hints at the ‘ clean sheet ’ method of construction behind . The number , grade and size of fasteners , for example , have been optimised for security and rigidity compared with typical self-tapping screw fixings , whilst intricate details such as ridge bosses use anti-crush tubes for perfect installation torque to provide a superior , more precise fit than traditional glazing fittings such as flat plate .
Installation of a Korniche Roof Lantern involves a system that bolts together as a unitary structure rather than box sections and plates that flex or distort to the detriment of security , structural integrity and weatherproofing . This is not achieved through simplification of construction with speed in mind but clever engineering from the outset

that creates a strong and secure glazed product , which is also convenient and time-saving for the installer .
Improving efficiency still further for the installer is the ‘ One-Drop Delivery ’ service now offered by Made for Trade . Having invested in excess of £ 400,000 over the last 18 months in its fleet of delivery vehicles , MFT now not only offer crane offloading for maximum ease and safety on site , but is proud to showcase a one-drop service that includes both the door system and glazing together on the same truck .
This significant investment allows MFT to offer a Document L-compliant glazed product at a much-reduced cost and increased convenience compared to having the glass delivered by a third party . Customers can now save up to 20 % on glazing as a result , with the glass delivered direct to site via MFT . What ’ s more , the One-Drop delivery saves downtime on site dealing with deliveries and glass that could typically arrive a day or two either side of the door system .
