Sales‘ skyrocket’ thanks to # BestInClass products and service

DECEUNINCK’ S SALES CONTINUE to surge and are 15 % up year-to-date. May’ s sales were the highest ever recorded, a staggering 22 % up on May 2017.
Managing Director Rob McGlennon says the company’ s sustained growth is down to
Deceuninck’ s lead on colour and # BestInClass products, like the award-winning Heritage Flush Sash. Deceuninck has near-perfect delivery scores too, with 99 % OTIF( On Time In Full) recorded for both April and May, a remarkable achievement given Deceuninck’ s extensive colour from stock range.
Rob says:“ Sales have skyrocketed in the first six months of 2018 while many in the market have slipped back, and we’ re confident we will continue to grow fast. It’ s down to giving our customers the products and service to stand out and sell more. Our Heritage Flush Sash is a real star and now accounts for 22 % of our total sash sales. Remarkably, these are additional sales for Deceuninck, and it’ s a similar story for our customers. Product is only half the story- our customers know they can rely on Deceuninck to deliver on time and in full, every time.”

ENJOY THE VIIU

VIIU( PRONOUNCED‘ view), the outstanding slim-line sliding door taking the market by storm, has become the first product of its type to pass the new more stringent security standard PAS24-2016.
Viiu offers ultra-slim sightlines, secure laminated glass throughout and an ingenious, unobtrusive design. With the outer-frame entirely built into the façade, it gives the appearance of a wall of glass, strong enough to support moving glass sections of up to
750kg, and fixed glass sections up to 1200kg.
But it’ s the product’ s unusually slim but robust interlock section that’ s allowed it to achieve much sought-after PAS24-2016 accreditation.
“ The PAS24-2016 process is extremely challenging,” explains Viiu Sales Director Rod Tate.“ It was recently updated to stipulate the interlocks should not part by 50mm under 450kgs of force from both sides. As a result, most systems on the market found

themselves in trouble. They simply hadn’ t been designed to withstand that level of force.
“ A simple look at the shape and size of the Viiu interlock shows that by design it has the strength required to pass the test. We have video evidence showing there was no gap at all between Viiu’ s inside and outside interlock.”

Next-gen renovation window‘ the preferred solution’
»»
JANISOL ARTE 2.0, THE SECONDgeneration renovation window from steel systems specialist Schueco Jansen, is proving popular with architects because of its enhanced specification, improved performance characteristics and ability to satisfy the aesthetic concerns of local authority planners and conservation officers.
Now being seen as the preferred solution for many refurbishment projects, especially those involving a listed building, elegantly‘ retro’ Janisol Arte 2.0 offers an enlarged range of profiles with slim sight-lines from 25 mm.
Available in all the opening types commonly encountered in both pre- and post-war industrial buildings, maximum vent weights have increased to 150 kg thanks to the introduction of state-of-the-art, 3D adjustable stainless steel hinges.
Another benefit is that simpler fabrication techniques reduce manufacturing time by up to 85 %, meaning that six and a half Janisol Arte 2.0 vents can be produced in the time it took to make a single vent in the previous system.
Clients can opt for Janisol Arte 2.0 profiles in high-grade austenitic 1.4401 stainless steel or Corten steel, completing a specification that is thought to be unmatched by any other renovation window on the market.
