PROUD SPONSOR OF DOORS & WINDOWS
DOORS&WINDOWS
STUDENTS ENJOY THE SOUND OF SILENCE
» » OVER 400 TITON SFX
Sound Attenuator vents and
Sobinco Chrono side-hung
windows with night vent
device adaption have been used
throughout the new St Mungo’s
student accommodation complex
at St James Road, Glasgow.
The new property opened
in September 2018, offering
en-suite and studio apartments
for students at the University of
Strathclyde, located just three
minutes’ walk away. Developers
Watkin Jones worked alongside
Glasgow-based Marshall Brown
(Windows) Ltd, with the latter
specifying, supplying and
installing all the windows for the
project.
Speaking about the
development, Brian Ross,
Commercial Manager at Marshall
Brown (Windows) Limited,
observed: “When considering the
window options for this building,
we knew side hung products were
preferable to meet the increased
ventilation requirements. The
windows also had to provide
a night vent function which,
when working in conjunction
with the SFX Sound Attenuator
vents, would provide the required
trickle ventilation for each room.
Having used Titon’s hardware and
vents on numerous past projects,
we knew these would provide a
robust solution that would suit
long term use with a Student
Accommodation environment.”
Titon’s SFX Sound Attenuator
is a compact slot ventilator
that provides superior levels of
sound attenuation compared to
similar ’acoustic’ products. It
is part of Titon’s renowned SF
Xtra range – which is widely
specified throughout the UK
as a cost-effective method of
reducing incoming noise in
situations where conventional
slot ventilators are unable to assist
with acoustic issues.
Sobinco Chrono fast-fit hinge
and locking systems are suitable
for most aluminium link bar
profiles. They are suitable for
virtually all variations of open-in
window, with options available
for high-security and French
casement. A standard tilt and turn
units can be assembled in around
five minutes, greatly reducing
fabrication time, while a choice of
handle designs and attractive RAL
colour finishes are also available.
Titon has been the exclusive
UK distributor for Sobinco
for nearly 40 years, supplying
tilt and turn window systems,
pivots, catches and handles, as
well as locks, lift-slide systems,
roller assemblies and handles for
doors.

Shared stand a FIT Show success
» » EXPERT TEAMS FROM DEKKO
Window Systems, Listers Central and GJB
all welcomed visitors to the ‘Home of Flush’
as they showcased their comprehensive flush
offering at The FIT Show 2019.
Working in partnership, the striking
stand showcased absolutely everything
available from the three like-minded trade
fabricators. Whilst there was considerable
interest around Timeless, their unique stamp
on VEKA’s mechanically jointed flush sash,
as well as Räum, their high-end aluminium
collection, the spotlight was firmly on the
new additions officially unveiled at the
show.
The first to be unveiled was the brand-new
Infinity Flush Door which expertly combines
best in class weather performance and energy
efficiency with unrivalled flush aesthetics.
The new Flush Door is the only dedicated
open-out flush door on the market, making
it a perfect addition to the ‘Home of Flush’
alongside Infinity, Timeless and the complete
Residence Collection.

The second unveiling was Easy Connect,
the state-of-the-art online ordering platform
which is exclusive and completely free for
customers of the three fabricators. Changing
the way customers price, quote and order
home improvements, the platform is available
24/7 and allows installers to sit with the
customer, visualise the desired product –
complete with correct dimensions, colours and
ancillary items, and generate an instant price.
Kurt Greatrex, Sales Director at Dekko
comments:
“It was great to see visitors engaging with
our product lines and to hear such positive
feedback. While the Infinity Flush Door expertly
meets the flush demands of the market, Easy
Connect changes the way customers operate,
eliminating endless paper trails, lost information
or unreadable quotations. After a great few days
in Birmingham, the hard work continues as our
team heads out to meetings with many of the
businesses we connected with at the show.”
Alongside their flush offering and their new
Easy Connect platform, the stand also featured
examples from the Infinity uPVC collection,
along with the Gallery composite door range
– available with the new Kubu smart equipped
door lock. The stand also had a dedicated Make
It Yours station, where visitors could create
high-impact marketing collateral personalised to
match the branding and unique message of their
business.
For those that missed The FIT Show, Dekko,
Listers and GJB have created a virtual tour of the
stand which can be accessed from their respective
websites.
