Dean Bradley added , “ Being part of CAB will allow us to expand our network and knowledge in the aluminium sector . Our award winning Link Vent product has proved the ideal ventilation solution and used by many aluminium window and door manufacturers and installers .”
With the window and door aluminium sector growing , Glazpart clearly sees the importance of fully understanding the nuances in the sector . Dean Bradley explains , “ A growing number of UPVC window and door manufacturers are offering aluminium options as homeowners have become more discerning about the materials they use for their home improvements , especially in product categories such as high value bi-fold and patio doors . With outstanding thermal performance to keep properties warm and fuel bills down , more homeowners are seeing the multiple benefits of aluminium .”
Though Glazpart ’ s products are plastic moulded the company ’ s colour matching facility for aluminium windows and doors ( just like UPVC and Timber ) is second to none . For over ten years , Glazpart has consistently invested in state-of-the-art machinery and tooling to provide a vast spectrum of colours and finishes for the Link Vent range . The company is therefore in pole position to supply the Link Vent in colour matched , sprayed RAL colours as well as decorative finishes for any aluminium window or door profile .
Nigel Headford , CEO CAB
Dean Bradley , Glazpart Sales Director continues . “ For aluminium and indeed for all types of windows and doors , we can match to most colour systems . Glazpart is an approved colour paint sprayer and we offer all standard RAL ( European Colour Systems ) and BS ( British Standards ) colours on an appropriate base colour vent with a gloss / sheen level to the powder coating . In addition , we have a specialist colour matching service that can match non-standard colours and supplied colour samples .”
With aluminium windows and doors tested to resist extreme weather conditions , the material has great resistance to corrosion and extreme heat . In keeping with aluminium itself , the colours of Glazpart ’ s Link Vents are also extremely stable and durable with the vents holding their colour through constant exposure to the elements of weather , without noticeable fading .
As a member of Council for Aluminium in Building , Glazpart look forward to a productive partnership - sharing technical information , increasing contacts in the sector and facing industry challenges together . For homeowners and all companies in the aluminium supply chain it is a win-win partnership .
