FIT SHOW 2017
HUGE INTEREST FOR NEW RANGES
Hardware specialist VBH report that their third visit to FiT Show was the best yet.
» » The company focused almost entirely on
products from its ever expanding greenteQ
range.
PAS24 versions of Clearspan aluminium
bi-fold door hardware and the Invisifold Slide
& Fold system both received much attention,
as did the outward opening casement and tilt
& turn window versions of Invisifold.
VBH’s new Q-secure multi-brand
guarantee was unveiled and many fabricators
signed up to the scheme. Q-secure
guarantees against forced entry for 10 years
after installation, and is the only scheme
on the market which covers all the relevant
hardware on a door or window, from a variety
of brands.
VBH were a little surprised themselves at
the star of their show; the patented greenteQ
SecuriFold door handle for multipoint lock
applications. SecuriFold handles are designed
to fold flat in the vertical position when not in
use, popping up into the ‘normal’ 90° position
only when the door is being operated.
Peter Rowlands, MD of VBH (GB), says,
“As a mark of our confidence we’re going
bigger in 2019 and have reserved a stand
75% larger than this year’s.”

RECORD NUMBER OF ENQUIRIES
» » The recent FIT Show was the
biggest ever for Atlas Glazed
Roof Solutions, with the Atlas
team picking up a record number
of enquiries for the industry’s
finest looking collection of glazed
roof products.
The star attraction was the
Atlas Flat Rooflight which
featured a novel video of the
Atlas family inside it to capture
visitors’ attention. Scores of
show-goers were drawn to the
sleek, minimalistic design of the
rooflight, which brings ultimate
performance and maximum light
to deliver ‘MORE SKY, LESS
ROOF’.
Two Atlas lanterns stood
prominently on the edges of the
Atlas stand - the biggest stand
that Atlas has ever taken at the
FIT Show. Atlas also unveiled its
ingenious ‘Skyroom Lean-To’,
the only product of its kind at
the show. Visitors were clearly
impressed with its slim-line 40mm
wide internal ridge and rafters,
which maximise the amount of
glazing within the roof.
Claire Miller, marketing
manager at Atlas Glazed Roof
Solutions, said: “This was an
absolutely incredible show for
Atlas. We set the bar very high
at the show and we’re now
following up a record volume of
leads.”
