ADDING TO
THE EVER
EXPANDING
PRODUCT
RANGE
» HODGSON SEALANTS HAS
just added the new Foamfix expanding
foam in a gun grade formulation, along with
a dedicated cleaner and a gun, to its ever-
expanding product range.
Foamfix is suitable for a wide range of
gap filing and sealing applications and is a
moisture cure, polyurethane construction
foam developed by Hodgson for the use in
window and door installations. It can add
structural rigidity in applications and with
low post-expansion, it reduces the risk of
damage to surrounding substrates.
Two of the key features of Foamfix are its
high thermal insulation and sound reduction
properties, along with the fact that it’s also
highly adhesive. It’s been formulated to cure
quickly and it can be cut or sawn once cured,
along with its compatibility with paint, plaster
and other sealants.
As a gun grade foam, it provides for better
application, the reduction in waste and there’s
also a dedicated gun and cleaner available.

Young company
already has great profile
New build specialist fabricator New Design Windows in
Barnsley began fabricating in October last year and it’s
already seeing considerable success. It has quoted £7m
of contracts to date and has achieved a 50% conversion
rate, supplying the top ten housebuilders in the UK.
» ALAN BURNETT, MANAGING
Director of New Design Windows, said one
of the reasons for the company’s early success
is its choice of system partner. He said: “We
chose Optima from Profile 22 because it is
one of the most considered systems on the
market. The aesthetics of the products, the
brand identity and the extensive guarantees
combine to offer a winning solution that
is helping us to secure some substantial
contracts.”
Profile 22 is an Epwin Window Systems
brand, which Alan said added an extra level
of reassurance. “Epwin Window Systems has
a very strong brand position in the market
and offers a superb stable of British-made
systems.”New Design Windows early success
is also down the level of reliability and
expertise it can offer. “We operate from a
new 10,000 sq ft factory operation and we
are a proactive and knowledgeable team with
150 years’ fenestration experience between
us. It means our customers, whether national
housebuilders or local regional builders, can
trust us to deliver,” said Alan.
Katrina Earl, Head of Sales at Epwin
Window Systems, said: “We are delighted to
welcome New Design Windows to Epwin.
Profile 22 is the most popular commercial
system on the market, so it’s the perfect
choice for anyone targeting the new build
sector. With the added advantage of the level
of quality and expertise Alan and his team are
able to offer, we’re not surprised they’re seeing
such early success.”
New Design Windows manufacture a
comprehensive range of windows and doors
using the Optima Sculptured system along
with Profile 22’s cavity closer. The award-
winning Optima Sculptured system is a
fully-integrated, 70mm-depth profile which
is easy to install and suitable for a wide range
of projects.
‘The aesthetics of the
products, the brand
identity and the extensive
guarantees combine to
offer a winning solution
that is helping us to secure
some substantial contracts’
New Design Windows may only be a
young company but it’s already proving what
it has to offer. And because it’s got the right
system partner by its side, it looks certain to
go on to achieve even more.
