7THINGS... 4. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOORS Masterdor, Synseal Group’s GRP and solid timber door manufacturer, tallied more than 29,000 doors last year with many more expected for the year to come. Based on the average housing occupancy in the UK, that’s enough doors to renovate all of the houses in a large town like Maidenhead. Over the past year more than 1500 of Synseal’s solid, engineered Craftsman timber doors were manufactured for housebuilder Avant Homes, who are well-known for their innovative approach to design and specification of quality, high-end products. Avant Homes is also the only house builder to offer bi-folding doors as standard in all its homes and will be using Synseal Group’s WarmCore folding sliding door range for its new specification houses this year. 6. 1.7M SQ/FT OF MANUFACTURING SPACE The manufacturing, warehouse and office spaces across Synseal Group’s seven sites equate to 1.7 million sq/ft – that’s the equivalent of around 39 Premier League football pitches. The largest site, based in Huthwaite, Nottinghamshire, can house 12 of these pitches on its own. 5. TOP SELLER IN CONSERVATORY ROOFS 7. 100+ VEHICLE FLEET Synseal Group is well known for its wide range of conservatory roofs, which includes K2 and Global as well as the new Stratus fully thermally broken lantern roof system. In its first six months, more than half of Synseal’s roof fabricators had signed up to sell Stratus, making it one of Synseal’s fastest growing product ranges. Overall Synseal is one of the UK’s top sellers in conservatory roofs, selling around 17,000 fabricated-on-site roofs in the last year and many more via their bar length roof fabricators, giving Synseal a share of around 50% of the UK market. Synseal Group has a whopping 100+ vehicles in its delivery fleet spanning Synseal, Masterdor, Sheerframe and Global Glass. Covering the whole of the UK, it’s not unusual for their drivers to clock up more than two million miles a year. That’s the equivalent of driving from John O’Groats to Lands’ End and back again 1,144 times! C L E A RV I E W-U K . C O M » J U L 2017 » 21
