PROUD SPONSOR OF DOORS & WINDOWS
DOORS&WINDOWS
Celebrating
the difference
» » SPECTUS WINDOW
Systems is the supplier of choice
for so many of the industry’s
fabricators. But it isn’t just the
wide range of products that
makes the company such a
reliable choice. It’s also about
the commitment to continuous
improvement that mean the
company – and therefore its
customers – remain at the
forefront of the industry.
Let’s take Spectus’ range of
ancillaries components as an
example. The range of over 80
products is designed to enhance
the window and door systems
and cover colour, specification,
style, decorative finishing
touches and double and triple
glazing options. The range is
designed to give the customer
as much personalisation and
individualisation as they need.
Just as importantly, the range
suites across all Spectus systems
and means every window and
door can be glazed and installed
quickly, efficiently and cost-
effectively, saving fabricators and
installers time and money at
every stage of the process.
The range is under constant
review to ensure it continues
to deliver what’s required.
Martin Althorpe, Technical
Director at Spectus comments:
“After the system itself, nearly
all of our trade partners
say what they want is to be
able to supply solutions for
every installation challenge
efficiently and economically.
We’re constantly developing the
range of ancillaries components
to ensure it delivers what’s
required – it’s about evolution
not revolution.”
Examples of this approach
are in the introduction of a fifth
glazing bead option that caters
for the growth in triple glazing
and a two part cill option that
reduces the risk of damage
during installation. There’s also
Spectus’ unique 100% recycled
and 100% recyclable RCM
thermal inserts that give around
25% better thermal performance
than using steel reinforcements
in outerframes in its Elite 70
profiles.
Aside from this impressive
versatility in the ancillary
products, let’s not forget you
can make any style of windows
or door with Spectus. The Elite
63 and the Elite 70 systems give
you the ability to make casement
and tilt and turn windows. The
Spectus Vertical Slider provides
the market-leading sliding sash
window solution while the
flush casement window opens
up even more of the heritage
market. The FRW system
provides the reversible option
and patio doors, formers and
curtain walling complete the
portfolio.

Strong start
to the year
» » PROFILE 22 ASSERTED
its position as the profile partner
of choice as it announced a
strong start to 2017. Paul
Lindsay, Sales Director for
Profile 22, commented: “We
know what a big decision it is
to move profile partner and the
number of new sign ups we’ve
had so far this year is evidence
of just how much Profile 22 has
to offer.”
When it comes to a market-
leading offering, Profile 22
really delivers. Its award-
winning Optima system is
billed as the best of everything
and with good reason. It
offers two main systems in
chamfered and sculptured
variants, complemented with
a heritage style flush casement
system and a unique flush tilt
and turn system designed to
compete with aluminium.
The systems offer impressive
technical innovations such
as more thermal chambers,
deep drainage channels, a
central eurogroove position,
thickened walls around screw
locations and a secure bead
system. There are a wealth of
glazing options, a wide range
of ancillaries and an impressive
colour selection too. While
the list of innovations is
impressive, Optima retains the
familiar Profile 22 appearance,
something that offers a clear
visual differentiation. “The
response from the market has
been excellent,” said Paul.
“Fabricators recognise just what
a strong product Optima is and
this is reflected in the number
of new sign ups this year.”
Profile 22 can also offer the
reassurance of a genuinely
seamless transfer from one
system to another. In fact, the
process is so detailed, finely
tuned and proactive that it
is possible to finish with one
system on the Friday and
begin with Optima on the
Monday. “Many fabricators
fear changing profile partners
because of the potential
disruption to their business,
but with Profile 22 we can
guarantee there will be
minimal or no disruption,”
said Paul. We know this to
be the case because when we
launched Optima last year,
we successfully undertook a
complete changeover of nearly
100 Profile 22 fabricators to
Optima in nine months.
Profile 22 has got over 30
years’ experience in the industry
and this latest news shows it is
maintaining its position as one
of the industry’s go-to profile
partners.
