Fabricator Focus
DESIGN FOR ALL
As demand for aluminium continues to grow across both commercial and retail environments , Reynaers has continued to invest in its systems and services so fabricators working in either sector have a varied choice of high-performance products and systems to fulfil customers ’ requirements . Head of Marketing at Reynaers Aluminium UK Samantha Hill discusses how the company has harnessed product innovation and research to create products that can be fabricated to meet the needs of customers in both commercial and trade and retail sectors .
Our focus as a manufacturer has always been on creating energy-efficient , responsibly made products that successfully blend design and technology . Using these principles , we create solutions that add value to customers . In the case of fabricators we do this by offering a varied range of products and systems that not only meet the necessary regulations – however stringent these are - but deliver on performance and aesthetics , are easy to fabricate and cost effective to produce , and can be installed safely and efficiently .
Our headquarters in Birmingham provides a central base from which we service our nationwide network of fabricators . It ’ s also where we ’ ve built a large showroom that ’ s open to all our fabricator partners giving them the opportunity to view our most popular and innovative products . We supplement this through tailored technical support for fabricators to ensure the correct specification and application of systems and products .
Reynaers has also become registered as a British Fenestration Ratings Council ( BFRC ) systems house . This allows our customers and supply chain to take advantage of the ratings on our products and systems and gives a simple and cost-effective route to achieving and demonstrating compliance to building regulations . Reynaers ’ BFRC registered fabricator customers can cascade the WER and DER labels to their customers as long as they fit insulated glass units and other components specified to the simulation which achieves that specific rating .
MARKET LEADING PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS We ’ re proud to provide customers with a comprehensive , contemporary and highly competitive choice when it comes to aluminium products . As such a number of the company ’ s most innovative door and window systems are available to fabricators selling into both the commercial specification and retail or domestic markets .
The ConceptPatio 130 ( CP 130 ) lift and slide patio door system , for example , is prolifically specified and installed in both commercial and residential buildings , giving architects and homeowners the opportunity to take advantage of the current trend for opening up traditional window spaces . The CP 130 range makes it possible to completely open up two sides of a room to enhance light and space and give the feeling of bringing the outside into a room .
Another product that cuts across both commercial and trade and retail sectors is the HiFinity inline sliding door . Reynaers ’ HiFinity sliding system is an extremely popular choice for both architects and homeowners thanks to its slimline frame and ability to be fitted to bespoke height – up to four metres – and widths . The ultra-slim design is highly engineered and seamlessly extends the interior to the outside with multiple threshold options . HiFinity can also carry the weight of a large sliding glass pane up to 330kg for manual slide , and 775kg for the motorised option , and fixed panels up to 1200 kg . A system that has been designed to meet future demands offering both high levels of energy efficiency and on-trend architectural aesthetics . HiFinity is an exclusive system and is only produced by selected fabricators .
