Part Q Manual
»»
IN CHARACTERISTIC Liniar style, the in-house technical experts at the innovative systems house have reviewed the legislative requirements for Document Q compliance and produced a flawless guide for the benefit of its fabricator customers.
Described as‘ the best of its kind’ by several of the first fabricators to get their hands on a copy, the Liniar Part Q Manual uses detailed illustrations and instructions to explain how to achieve compliance for every Liniar product in the range.
Paul Garforth, Technical Manager for Liniar, explains:“ We’ ve already undergone the rigorous process of testing,” he explains,“ so the new guide has been designed to save our customers time, cost and effort- providing they use the exact same components we used in testing.
“ In many instances this will mean that no further testing is required – so all fabricators need to do is request a copy of the PAS 24 test certificate for each of the product types, which can then can be used to show compliance.
“ If customers also wish to carry out their own product testing, then the multi-purpose details within the new manual may also be used for guidance,” concludes Paul.

KERB APPEAL
»»
RYBURNE WINDOWS SAYS Residence 9( R9) installations attract the neighbours, leading to more sales for the Halifax fabricator and installer.
Ryburne Managing Director, Peter Willemse, says:“ R9 looks amazing and performs excellently. We recently installed some stunning windows in a home because the homeowner wanted modern performance but didn’ t want to change the look of their property, which had tired timber windows. When we finished the installation, we were approached by a neighbour who wanted the same great windows in their home.
“ It proves that R9 really does add kerb appeal,” adds Peter.“ It’ s sympathetic to traditional
homes, and homeowners love that they don’ t have the expensive maintenance they’ d get with timber.”
R9 was designed with a clean sheet to match the dimensions and detailing of traditional timber windows. R9 is the only PVC composite window Planners accept in conservation areas and listed buildings, because that’ s what it was designed for. It looks like timber, but has the performance and low maintenance of PVCu.
Residence Collection Managing Director Dan Gill says:“ When people see it, they don’ t know it isn’ t timber. When they find out they’ re amazed.”

FRAME FINISH CHALLENGE
»»
TRUFRAME HAS LAUNCHED A frame finish challenge, to scour the nation for a better finished standard PVCu window frame, than those carefully produced using their unique 4-step hand finishing process, at their manufacturing facility in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.
Now approaching a regular 4,000 frame per week output, the company continues to employ a 4-step hand finishing process that has served them so well over many years. This process involves the checking and refinishing of the corner contours, levelling off the outside edges, ensuring uniformity of the corner grooves and the cleaning of all apertures for weld-build up, by 15 full-time, skilled craftspeople.
While the company still harnesses the latest cutting and machining centres, they believe that it is in the very finer detail of frame finishing that makes all the difference, as Managing Director, David Firmager points out:“ It would be easier to eliminate this additional process. But I, along with our valued customer base, value the attention to detail, added quality and the fact that it’ s part of our unique proposition at TruFrame.
“ I fully stand by the quality of our products and would challenge any installation company to find a better finished frame.”
