Looming Large
»»Lumi the
groundbreaking new, structurally
bonded window and door
glazing system from Apeer, is set
to take the market by storm.
Following its dazzling debut
at Grand Designs Live in
London, the company has been
overwhelmed with leads and
enquiries for the radically styled
range of frameless windows,
doors, entrance glazi ng, French
doors and a bi-fold door
system.
Linda Tomb, marketing
manager, said: “It was a hugely
successful launch and we are
now refining our pricing and
ordering systems for Lumi along
with our technical and training
manuals and videos.
“We have developed an at-aglance pricing structure where
each window and price and spec
is clearly presented, enabling
retailers to give customers a fully
fitted quote which can later go
on to be converted to an order.
“We have also built a training
‘house’ at our Ballymena factory
where we can offer fitters hands
on experience of how to install
the windows. The facility can
also be used as a showroom

for customers and potential
buyers so they can see the Lumi
range for themselves and how it
differs from anything else on the
market.”
A first in its field, the new
Lumi collection is set to bring
the seamless sophistication of
iconic glass structure to the
residential housing market.
Offering a frame-free, ‘wall
of light profile’ the triple glazed
system is distinguished by its
fused ceramic colour border.
This is available in eight different
exterior colours and eight further
interior finishes.
In development for more
than two-and-a-half years, the
launch of Lumi represents an
investment of nearly a million
pounds for the company and
its first step into the windows
market.
As well as being available in
a full suite of matching designs,
Lumi has a host of construction
and performance benefits such as
a stormproof design with flush
proportional glazing (the double
rebate is completely hidden),
50mm triple glazing, (6-4-4)
toughened glass for maximum
insulation and noise reduction,
