DEMAND FOR GARDEN IMPROVEMENTS DRIVES
INSTALLERS TO THE STAND AT FIT SHOW
» » A RECENT SURVEY BY HOUZZ UK
found that 59 percent of homeowners are
prioritising outdoor living and making
substantial changes to their garden. This
includes adding decking, upgrading fencing
and installing garden rooms, with 67
percent pointing to low maintenance as the
highest priority for garden improvement
products.
To help installers take advantage of this
high demand for low maintenance garden
improvements to win more business in
the garden, Composite Wood Company
™ exhibited its Composite Wood decking,
balustrade fencing and its new garden room
– which includes a veranda – at FIT show last
month.
“We had a great response to the stand at
FIT Show with lots of installers looking to
add our low maintenance range of decking,
fencing and garden rooms to their business,”
says Tony Pratt, Sales Director Composite
Wood Company. “We’re looking to help
window installers get more work in the garden
whilst they’re already on site fitting windows,
doors and conservatories. Installers need to
make sure they don’t leave their profit in
the garden when fitting home improvement
products.
“90 percent of those surveyed by Houzz
said that they were making lots of changes to
their garden. Composite Wood garden rooms,
decking and fencing are ideal for installers
looking to get ahead of the demand.
“Our new Composite Wood garden room is
fully insulated and it’s low maintenance so it
doesn’t need painting or staining and stays in
great condition for years. It comes with colour
matched corner posts for seamless design
throughout and there are four great colours to
choose from.
“With added extras including lighting,
flooring and electrics, installers can offer
customers a fantastic range of layouts and
designs for them to use their garden room
however they want.”
The latest addition to the range means a
fast turnaround for garden rooms. It features
unique click connectors for easy assemble and
a new highly insulated, high strength roof
design.
“As well as low maintenance, high
quality garden improvements, Composite
Wood Company has a G Award-winning
marketing package to support installation
companies,” adds Tony. “Installers looking
to take advantage of the demand for garden
improvements who didn’t get the chance to
attend FIT Show, should call us to find out
more.”

business and recognition for all of
the efforts of my colleagues over
the past few years.
“It is of course, with thanks to
our customers for their continued
support that we have achieved
such an esteemed accolade. It has
been an excellent year for us with
awards coming in thick and fast.
We are therefore looking to host
a party for customers and staff
who will be invited to join us in
celebrating on the day that our
award is presented when we will
display our trophy and fly The
Queen’s Awards flag with pride.
“Since our initial plan to
develop the business from
primarily UK distribution
of imported products to
manufacturing warm edge spacer
bars and injection moulding all
of our own fittings, I rarely get
time to sit back and look at what
a great business we are building.
Although I’m not generally the
kind of person to blow my own
trumpet, our awards successes
so far prove that our business
is impressive in any industry
and my colleagues deserve the
recognition for their continued
efforts and dedication to building
Thermoseal Group.”
