‘Widest ranging SBD
agreement’ is fabricating first
» CUSTOMADE GROUP HAS FURTHER
underlined its commitment to supply an
unequaled range of products and services with
news that it has signed the widest ranging
Secured by Design agreement ever.
The group has announced that 31 of its
aluminium and PVCu windows and door
systems have recently achieved an SBD
licence in a move that will help Customade
Group installers to realise the full potential of
the UK’s most prominent crime prevention
initiative.
It is also a major advance for British
homeowners, giving them total reassurance
that their doors and windows are fully
accredited and guaranteed to provide the very
highest levels of protection.
Customade Group is the only fabricator in
the industry to offer such a comprehensive
package, which spans 17 aluminium and
PVCu window profile suites – including
vertical sliders, reversible, tilt and turn and
casement windows – and 14 aluminium and
PVCu door profile suites – including bi-
folding doors and patio doors.
Gareth Thomas, sales and marketing
director at Customade Group, explains:
“We’re very excited to unveil yet another
industry first from Customade Group. This
development is all about delivering increased
sales opportunities across a complete range
of products for customers, whilst offering
complete confidence to the end user when
choosing accredited products.
“The Secured by Design Police Preferred
Specification is the only police accreditation
for security related products in the UK and
it is only awarded to businesses that meet
rigorous police security requirements. In an
era where security plays a greater part in the
decision-making process, installers can stand
out from their competitors by offering a wide
range of independently accredited products
that give the homeowner total peace of mind.
“And, as you’d expect from Customade
Group, we’ve also made it really easy for
installers to quote and sell these police-
endorsed products, so they can win more new
customers and grow their businesses.”
To gain Secured by Design accreditation,
windows and doors must achieve PAS24 -
the enhanced security requirement for the
UK. This involves passing several attack tests
to ensure that products are resilient against
intrusion. Rigorous testing is performed on
any products seeking Secured by Design
approval to ensure that they are resistant
to forced impact and damage. Customade
Group installers have reported a rise in orders
and repeat business since the introduction of
PAS24 accredited products.
