FIT SHOW 2017
HUGELY SUCCESSFUL DEBUT
» » Dynamic Dekko Window Systems enjoyed
a hugely successful FIT Show debut, that
saw it unveil several new additions to its well-
known product ranges.
The firm’s Räum collection of sleek,
contemporary aluminium sliding doors has
now been expanded with stylish aluminium
windows, and two varieties of high-end
garage door.
Also, prominently displayed on the
fabricator’s stand were examples of its
innovative, seamlessly-welded Infinity PVCu
window and doors, as well as several timber-
alternative products from the celebrated
Residence Collection.
“After being enthusiastic visitors to the
last few FIT Shows, it was fantastic to finally
be exhibitors ourselves”, commented Sales
Director Kurt Greatrex. “In recent years,
we’ve invested extensively in developing
some of the most respected brands in the
industry, designed to help installers secure
more leads, make more sales and grow their
businesses”.
Dekko also used the show as an
opportunity to launch its Make It Yours
campaign – an initiative that offers customers
an extensive range of sales material that can
be personalised with their own logos and
branding.

NEW RANGE OF FULLY
REVERSIBLE HARDWARE
» » System 700, a new range of fully
reversible hardware for windows
manufactured by Roto/Peder
Nielsen (PN), was launched by
Carl F Groupco at the FIT Show.
As sole distributor of PN hardware
by Roto in the UK, Carl F Groupco
played a pivotal role announcing
the new range on its stand.
Julie Warner, a Product
Manager for Carl F Groupco who
has worked with Roto/PN for over
16 years explains the importance
of the announcement: “The
launch of System 700 at the FIT
Show drew significant attention
from across the industry. A
slimmer hinge, which works on a
7mm groove, makes the product
the ideal solution for aluminium
and PVCu systems companies
and timber fabricators who need
to provide a fully reversible option
for flush casement windows. The
new build housing market will also
be interested as consistent design
aesthetics are offered across all
window types.
“The System 700 retains
the trademark durability and
impressive functionality that is
offered by all hardware in the PN
by Roto range.”
Carl F Groupco has a long-
standing relationship with PN
that dates back to 2001 and
which has continued following
the acquisition of PN by Roto in
2016.

A FITTING CROWN

David Shaw and Nathan Daw
from Norfolk-based Shaw Home
Improvements won the ‘Roof
Lantern Challenge’ element of
the contest. Owner of Shaw
Home Improvements, David
Shaw said: “We were thrilled
to pick up the gong in the Roof
Lantern Challenge. We were up
against some very experienced
installers in the competition so it
was a massive achievement for
us to win this award and to come
second in the overall contest.
“We’ve been working with the
Atlas roof for around three years
so we know that it is a quality
product and a ‘fitters dream’ to
install.”
Claire Miller added: “The Atlas
lantern was chosen to be the first
ever roof lantern in the contest
because of its clean lines,
modern looks and reputation
for being straightforward to
install.”
