Glazing is getting ready to wow
customers at the FIT Show in
May with a 36m² exhibition
stand complete with interactive
tools to showcase its range of
high-quality Uni-Blind sealed
units with ScreenLine integral

All this, alongside something
a little different and entirely
new for the business. Visitors to
H35 will have the opportunity
to take part in demonstrations
of a new virtual reality
experience that will help them
gain more tangible information
about the products Morley
offers. By donning a pair of
VR goggles, users will find
themselves in an interactive
virtual home setting, where
they can see demonstrations
of the Morley product range,
as well as find out a little more
in-depth information.
Ian Short, Morley Glass &
Glazing managing director
said: “As a forward-thinking
business, it is our responsibility
to make sure we are always on
the forefront of innovations
in our industry. What is
great about the FIT Show is
that a lot of manufacturers
and component suppliers
now schedule their product
development cycles around it,
so you’re always guaranteed
to see some really exciting
advances in products and
technology.”

Managing Director Graham
Price explained: “Glass is a simple
way of bringing light into a
space or providing safety without
compromising a view. We have
been able to install products
of all types within some really
interesting spaces, including
Buckingham Palace, and are
continuously on show to the
public via work we’ve undertaken
in high street stores. Our products
come with standard safety features
such as dubbed corners and this
is something we know appeals
to those with high consumer
footfall.”
glazing systems are encouraged
to book their places on the
Fire Resistant Glazing Training
course.
The course will provide
glaziers with the highest quality
knowledge and information on
fire safety covering both products
