ALUMINIUM
MANUFACTURER
CELEBRATES ITS MOST
‘EVENTFUL YEAR EVER’
» » A GLOUCESTER-BASED
manufacturer of aluminium
windows and doors is celebrating
what directors at the business
have described as ‘its most
eventful year ever’.
Founded in 1992, CDW
Systems supplies its products
to trade, commercial and retail
customers all over the UK and has
grown year on year since it was
founded.
In September of this year,
the company underwent a
management buyout (MBO).
The existing senior management
team of Richard Smith, Angela
Phillips, Jeremy Phillips, Allan
Little, Martin Rowe and Mike
Davis purchased the company
from group chairman Jerry Webb
who remains actively involved
in the business as non-executive
chairman.
East Manor Group Ltd has
been newly formed by the new
management team to manage
the group’s three operating
companies, which include CDW
ULTRA SLIM FRAMES
Systems Ltd, Clearway Doors
& Windows Ltd and Designex
Cabinets Ltd.
2017 also saw CDW Systems
included in the prestigious
publication, The Parliamentary
Review, as an example of best
practice in the Manufacturing,
Construction and Engineering
sector.
In the last twelve months, the
company has also launched several
new Reynaers Aluminium products
and plans to begin offering
customers a range of Schueco UK
products in the coming months.

superior performance characterise
Slimline 68 , a new window
system that’s been launched to
the trade by aluminium systems
company Reynaers.
With a huge range of design
options, the SL 68 has industry-
leading thermal insulation
and is one of the most secure
windows available. This security
is enhanced with hinge-side
security brackets, a multi-point
locking mechanism and lockable
handles.
The SL 68 can achieve a
Window Energy Rating of A++
and a U-value of 1.0 W/m2K
with triple glazing. When it
comes to double glazing, the
Window Energy Rating is A,
with a U-value of 1.4 W/m2K.
This level of performance allows
fabricators and installers to
add real value to their product
ranges.
SL 68 security meets
PAS24 and Secured by Design
standards, as well as achieving
Class 4 air tightness. The
window has a wind-resistance
rating of E2400, and water-
resistance of E1050.
Reynaers prides itself
in offering specialist and
innovative products, and it
identified a need for a high-
quality and high-performance
standard casement-style window
for fabricators and installers in
the UK but with the additional
benefit of slim frames.

» » AFTER IT MADE SUCH A
huge impact when it was previewed
at the FIT Show, the door which
AluK says will become the new
benchmark in the bi-fold market
has officially been launched.
The Luminia F82 bi-fold is
the flagship product in AluK’s
premium Luminia range, and is
now available exclusively from a
network of Luminia Select Partners
across the UK.

Targeted directly at the higher
end of the market where demand
is buoyant and still growing, it has
all the aesthetics and performance
features needed to justify a
premium price with strong and
sustainable margins.
All the configurations in the
F82 are available as open in or
open outdoors, and in double and
single door options to ensure a
suited offering for the homeowner.
It is available from stock in four
standard single and dual colours
– grey, white, brown and black.
Further popular RAL colours are
available to order.
The F82 has been deliberately
designed to be quicker and easier
to fabricate than other competitor
doors. It also therefore more cost
effective to install, requiring less
preparation and less time on site.
