PROUD SPONSOR OF DOORS & WINDOWS
DOORS&WINDOWS
A DEDICATION TO DOORS
» » THE RESIDENCE COLLECTION IS
not just a series of unique, stylish and high-
performance windows with true consumer
appeal, but there is also a wide range of
residential door options now available across
the range, thanks to a dedicated door sash.
For each of the R2, R7 and R9 systems, there
are single open in/open out possibilities, along
with balcony and French door options, all
with the benefit of three different glazing bead
shapes; including decorative, staff and square
with double and triple glazing options.
Mike Hart, technical manager of
commented: “The Residence Collection has
benefitted from considerable development over
the last 18 months, particularly with respect
to the residential door options that one would
expect from a modern-day systems house.”
In addition to the typical glazed entrance
door options, there is also Solidor R9,
partnering with the sister company within
Masonite. Here there is a clear benefit of
harnessing one of the most tried, tested
and trusted door slabs in a super-premium
proposition.
Sarah Hitchings, sales and marketing director
added: “Whatever the door requirement, we
have a perfect solution. And who wouldn’t
want a matching door frame to their beautiful
Residence Collection windows?”

Sweet & Salty
» » AS ONE OF THE FIRST COMPANIES
in the UK to take stock of Sweet, Fab Frames
has now started to offer this revolutionary
range of door furniture on composite doors
to a South West customer base. And, with a
coastal climate for the majority of its customers,
the introduction of Sweet will provide great
re-assurance to their trade installers and
homeowners looking for a longer-lasting
hardware finish, having achieved in excess of
8,000 hours in a salt spray chamber.
Fab Frames has manufactured its own
composite doors using a Solidor slab and
KÖMMERLING PVCu door frame for over
eight years, delivering around 80 doors every
week to Cornwall, Devon and Somerset. Mike
Taylor, MD commented: ”Given our past
issues with hardware longevity, Sweet will not
only address the performance issues, but will
allow us and our trade customers to pass the
warranty issue direct to the manufacturer. The
time taken to process hardware warranties
on both window and door handles has been
considerable over the years and so the Sweet
proposition will benefit our business in a
number of ways.”

LISTERS AND VEKA FLUSH WITH SUCCESS
» » EVERY PARTNERSHIP IS BUILT ON
two things; trust and respect and after working
together for 14 years, VEKA and Listers
have developed the perfect relationship. In
August 2017, Listers was acquired by industry
stalwart, Roy Frost and his first port of call was
to ensure that partnership remained intact.
“If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it,” remarked
Roy “and the Listers and VEKA synergy was
crucial to our plans moving forward. In the
12 months since I acquired the business,
the support we’ve had from VEKA has been
incredible and they have helped us develop
an entirely new brand in a very short space of
time.”

That brand is the Timeless range of
mechanically jointed flush sash windows,
created by Listers using the VEKA flush
window system. To enhance the brand’s
visibility, Listers has invested heavily in the
new Timeless brand, developing a retail-
focused website, a brochure, professional
photography, colour blocks, samples and
more. Plans are being actioned on expanding
manufacturing facilities at the Listers factory
in Stoke on Trent as well as a big marketing
campaign to bring Timeless to the forefront of
the end users’ attention.
