RESIDENCE 9 HITS YOUTUBE
Launched late in 2013, the Residence 9 system
has been well received from customers such as
Bradley Scott and the company is now able to
offer matching trims on all orders, along with
PVCu boards for scribed arched tops. This
system has already been successfully sold into
premium consumer installations, along with the
opportunities now presenting themselves in the
commercial sector.
Cutting Edge UPVC has just launched
a striking video promoting the merits of
the Residence 9 flush window system, in a
distinctive traditional joinery setting featuring
company director Mal Whitehurst.
Mal Whitehurst is a time-served joiner and
has run the company’s commercial division
since its inception 14 years ago. Recently he
has put forward the Residence 9 product for
several proposed luxury new build developments.
The video entitled New Thinking, Traditional
Standards is the first from Cutting Edge on their
YouTube channel, as the Staffordshire-based
fabricator looks at further anticipated growth in
the trade and commercial sectors.
