TUFFX LAUNCHES NEW
ROOFLIGHT KIT
» » GLASS PROCESSING SPECIALIST
TuffX has launched a new aluminium framed
rooflight, designed to offer installers a high
quality, easy-to-fit solution for homeowners
looking to increase the flow of natural light in
to their home.
Developed in-house, the contemporary
TuffX design allows the rooflight – available
in anthracite grey as standard – to be supplied
directly to installers as a complete assembled
unit, which can then be simply dropped into
place and secured.
Manufactured in either 6mm Triple Glazed
Thermal Toughened Safety Glass with a
U-Value of 0.7 w/m 2 , or 6mm Double Glazed
Glass with a U-Value of 1.2 w/m 2 , the external
panes of each unit also receive a screen-printed
boarder. This process ensures any joins and
sealant are properly concealed before the panes
are securely assembled into an aluminium
frame, creating a product that is then ready for
installation ‘out of the box’.
Graham Price, managing director of
TuffX, commented: “The demand for
premium products – fuelled by aspirational
TV programmes such as Grand Designs – is
greater than ever before, so
the introduction of our new aluminium
framed rooflight represents a fantastic
opportunity for installers to add an attractive,
high value and hassle-free addition to their
portfolio.”
competitive areas of the glazing sector, and the
shortlist for the award reflects this. Best of luck
to everyone who has been shortlisted.”
Launched in 2013, and now into its fifth
year, the National Fenestration Awards aims to
be the fairest, all-inclusive fenestration event,
rewarding the very best of the glazing sector. » » HARDWARE SPECIALIST
Winkhaus has introduced two new
products – the autoLock AV3 Heritage
Plus and Heritage Duo Pull – both
designed to complement each other and
suit a wide range of door styles.
Based on the popular AV3 range of
multi-point locks, the AV3 Heritage Plus
provides automatic locking once the door
is pulled shut without the need for a key
and comes with several new innovative and
convenient features.
Unlike the current Heritage locks, the
AV3 Heritage Plus offers the daytime
latch function that, when activated, makes
it possible to easily open the door from
the outside without a key. This added
practicality is popular with end-users,
enabling temporary, flexible entry and exit
without using a key.
The euro cylinder position is similarly
placed to a traditional eye-level round
cylinder pull, making it ideal for use in
traditional or period door designs. Another
new feature sees the latch located at the
central gearbox position, which provides
superior security and weather-resistance.
An elegant addition for a wide range
of door styles, the Heritage Duo Pull is
available in four standard finishes - Black,
Stain Grey and Polished Chrome and
Gold.
