PROUD SPONSOR OF DOORS & WINDOWS DOORS&WINDOWS STRONG SALES GROWTH AND A ‘REASSURING’ BUSINESS MODEL » PATIOMASTER SOUTHEAST HAS reported a 12% year-on-year sales growth. Simon Spiers, Director at the company, reports that the sales growth comes across the entire patio door range, including the latest addition to the portfolio, the Triple-track system, which offers up to 25% more open space than a conventional patio door. Simon comments: “As the market reports show, more and more consumers are discovering what sliding patios have to offer when it comes to the trend for big expanses of glass. The sliding patio door delivers on this better than any other option. The construction allows for wider glazed panels and fewer vertical frames to break the view. It means a sleeker, cleaner look that maximises the light, no matter what the size of the door.” The PatioMaster business model offers the reassurance of a national brand and high quality, cutting edge products with the personal service of a local company. As PatioMaster South East’s sales show, it’s a model that many installers are finding appealing when it comes to tapping into the growing patio door market. www.patiomaster.co.uk Say ‘yes’ to choice and service » NOLAN UPVC IS THE LATEST TOP fabricator to join Deceuninck.
