FIT SHOW 2016
STOPPING VISITORS
IN THEIR TRACKS
Raising the roof
at FIT SHOW 2016
When Made For Trade unveiled their innovative new
Korniche lantern roof at the FIT Show, the stunning design
impressed visitors so much, many even expressed the desire
to swap the existing lanterns on their own homes for it!
Boasting of one-tool installation, invisible fixings, and no silicone,
the aluminium Korniche lantern has been designed to be incredibly
quick-to-fit, aesthetically pleasing, thermally efficient and durable at
an unbeatable price.
MD Bradley Gaunt, who designed and engineered the product, was
delighted with the feedback on the Korniche, which contains unique
parts.
He explained: “It was our debut as exhibitors at the FIT Show
and we couldn’t have asked for a better response. Thanks to all
our visitors for making the launch a huge success.”

for hardware market leader,
VBH, Clearview caught up
with Marketing Manager, Gary
Gleeson, to find out what was
pulling visitors to the stand.
“What’s great about this
year is that everything on the
stand is new. We’ve been able
to fill it with genuinely new and
exciting innovations, which are
already proving to stop people
in their tracks,” says Gary. So
new, in fact, is the stainless
steel letter plate that completes
the greenteQ stainless door
furniture range, that it had
literally been driven up the
night before the show and fixed
to the stand on the opening
morning.
“But without a doubt, the
display attracting the most
interest is the set of Invisifold
slide and fold doors,” Gary
explains. When closed, the
only hardware visible is the
handle/cylinder, giving clear
sightlines for the homeowner.
When opened, the leaves of
the Invisifold door stack to one
side to create a clear opening.
