JUST SIX MONTHS AFTER ITS official launch , RegaLead ’ s new Georgian lead profile is providing strong sales opportunities , as fabricators enjoy the various unique application benefits and installers the unique design possibilities this new product offers .
Guy Hubble , Joint Managing Director at RegaLead , comments : “ The new profile replicates the look of aluminium Georgian bars , but with a host of additional benefits including the in-house manufacture of even complex grids and a significant reduction in the costs associated with face fixed astragals . The specialist powder coating technology ,
meanwhile , ensures the product is suitable for external use .
“ We ’ re really pleased with the response we ’ ve had so far . In line with demand we have already added a 22mm option to the range , as well increasing the in-stock range to four popular colours : White , 9001 Cream , 7016 Anthracite , and Chartwell Green . In addition , we can now offer any RAL colour on 7-day lead time for as few as 18 rolls .
“ As the clear market leader in the manufacture of adhesive lead , manufacturing in excess of 10,000 rolls per week , we continue to innovate in this sector and are still very much focussed on our core offerings within it .” www . regalead . co . uk
