GEORGIAN TAKES THE LEAD
»»
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
