FIT SHOW 2016
ENTERING
THE MARKET
WITH A BUZZ
»»Entrance® is delighted with the
response to its totally tailored composite
door solution at its first FIT Show.
The composite door supplier offers a
complete package to fabricators, making
it easy for them to sell their own range
of composite doors without the stress or
expense of sourcing or stock-holding.
Managing Director Gregory Kelly says:
“The show was really busy, so there was
a constant buzz around the stand. A real
success.
“It’s really rewarding to see the number
of leads we’ve generated in just three
days,” adds Gregory. “The show was
great. Visitors to our stand were really
interested in the unique service we offer
our customers. No one else does what
we do.”
Entrance gave away 10 composite
doors at the show, and was overwhelmed
with entries to its free prize draw.
One of the winners, Paul Mellor of PM
Window Services in Walsall says: “I’m
looking forward to receiving my door!
I’m a fairly new customer and I’m really
pleased with the quality and service I
get from Entrance – very professional.
After years of dealing with different door
companies I’ve finally found one I have
full confidence in.”

CLEVER DEVICE LAUNCHED AT FIT
»»This year’s FIT Show was the most
successful yet for the world’s leading warm
edge spacer bar supplier SWISSPACER. The
stand was constantly busy with visitors keen
to see its latest innovations and learn more
about its new Marketing Toolkit.
There was strong interest in
SWISSPACER’s new 32mm and 36mm bars.
The new bars, which bring SWISSPACER’s
total number of bar widths to 19, are a great
choice for bi-folds, conservatories and office
environments.
SWISSPACER’s new Marketing Toolkit is
a free suite of marketing and sales aids and
visitors found out how the Toolkit can help
them sell the benefits of warm edge. The
Toolkit pen knife was a real show stopper
and talking point for visitors. It included
SWISSPACER’s leading colour range of 17
spacer bars, and iPads for those wanting to
try out its energy calculating app Caluwin.
There was also an exclusive show of
SWISSPACER Air, a clever device that
prevents sealed unit failure caused by
changes in altitude.
SWISSPACER Head of Marketing & Sales
(UK & Ireland) John Cooper said: “We had
strong leads throughout the three days
and it was great to catch up with so many
customers.”

TRANSFORMING THE MARKET
»»Residence 9 (R9), transformed the market
when it was launched at the FIT Show 2013.
So expectations were high for the launch
of The Residence Collection at this year’s
Show.
The makers of Residence 9 launched
the new Residence Collection on a huge,
striking stand. Residence 7, Residence 8,
and Residence2 now join the fast growing
Residence 9 system.
Dan Gill, Residence Collection Managing
Director says: “R9 has proven that
homeowners are happy to pay for windows
that look great because they are absolutely
right in their detailing and dimensions for
older, period, conservation, listed and
heritage homes.
“The new Residence Collection is a set of
four distinct window and door systems that
differ in their dimensions and internal look,
yet complement each other perfectly.”
Residence 7 is a 75mm system with seven
chambers that is flush on the inside and, like
the other systems, can have a flush or storm
sash on the outside.
Residence 8 is designed to be Graf
welded, a revolutionary welding process, so
its corners are in a league of their own.
Residence2 is the quickest and easiest
window to make because everything about
it is square. It looks contemporary and cool,
but feels comfortable and warm
