GLOUCESTERSHIREbased Teal Products will be heading to the NEC in Birmingham with its full range of openers, actuators and both manual and electric window control systems.
Designed for use in both residential and commercial applications, the Teal Products range allows installers to automate the operation of both windows and rooflights, and even create a smoke ventilation system.
Sam Yiend, Director at Teal Products commented,“ With the increasing demand for our window control systems from installers looking to increase the value of their projects and diversify in a competitive market, the timing is perfect to head to the NEC.
“ We also want to use the platform to answer those trepidations that some installers have which ultimately stop them from taking advantage of both this buoyant market and the consumer-led movement towards‘ Smart Homes’. In reality, it’ s not as complex as they may believe.”
This year, Teal Products has introduced a number of new products; the new folding arm actuator from WindowMaster, which can open a side-hung window or door to 90-degrees in just 60 seconds, followed by the Micro Evo chain actuator from Mingardi, which can turn an ordinary window or rooflight into an automatic opening device.

NEW RESEARCH suggests there are more than 9,800 conservation areas across England’ s 336 Local Planning Authorities alone and it is an area of the market that businesses looking to expand and increase their revenue streams can tap into, thanks to Slenderline Glass.
The Kent-based company’ s range of advanced slimline heritage units expertly replicate heritage aesthetics whilst offering cuttingedge thermal performance. With a range of sizes to match any traditional rebate, a Slenderline unit takes advantage of warmedge technology from pioneers Edgetech, and either Argon or Krypton gas.
It’ s one of the greatest challenges facing homeowners in conservation areas as they look to fulfil their desire to improve the performance of their home, whilst still preserving the important heritage aesthetics of the property.
Andy Cocker, Director at Slenderline Glass, comments:“ Conservation areas do present challenges for businesses, but the success of products like Slenderline Glass and the businesses who rely on its authentic design goes to show they are definitely not a lost cause. Whether it’ s a period property, a listed building or a property deep in a conservation zone, Slenderline offers complete authenticity – the principal criteria for compliance in a heritage setting.”
