CLEARVIEW EXCLUSIVE industrynews SLIDE AND SWING TO SUCCESS D and I Window Solutions Ltd has shot to success in just three short but very hardworking years. The company manufactures and supplies lead-free windows, doors and conservatories to the trade and also to the end user, carrying out some local installation work as well. In addition to the full range of competitively priced composite doors from Solidor, D and I has recently added the innovative slide and swing door from New Wave to its product portfolio as a substitute for the uPVC bi-folding door that has a tendency to be troublesome for both fabricator, installer and end user. Where the bi-fold can be troublesome after installation, with the New Wave door the sashes are individual so are less likely to require maintenance. Its design is new and unique and is so far taking the industry by storm. “Initially we received an email about the product,” explains D and I joint Managing Director, Dave Saxon. “We made enquiries and the New Wave mobile showroom came out to our premises to do a demonstration of the door, which we were very impressed with. “The response to the slide and swing door from New Wave has been great. The idea is that, with this new addition to our offering and the new showroom that is due to open imminently, it will allow us to continue growing our business year-on-year, as has been the case so far.” D and I already has a factory showroom at its premises in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, from where the company supplies a national trade customer base. The new retail showroom that is about to open at Brampton, Rotherham will be predominantly for homeowners and end users but D and I is also encouraging its trade customers to send their customers too so that they can see the products first hand, which may very well help them to close a sale. Joint Managing Director, Ian Haddock, puts the company’s success down to the quality of product and service that it provides, “Undoubtedly so,” says Ian. “For our trade customers, we will fit cills and handles and set bays, even delivering them to site, free of charge. This saves the installer a lot of time and hassle onsite, something that they really appreciate.” To find out more about the New Wave door, Tel: [phone], Email: info@ dandiwindows.co.uk or visit www.dandiwindows.co.uk To read more, visit www.clearview-uk.com Manufacturers & Suppliers of Lead Free Windows, Doors & Conservatories DOORS THAT DO WHAT BI FOLDS DON'T £385 per sash unglazed + VAT See for yourself and watch our video at www.dandiwindows.co.uk Visit our NEW showroom Solidor Composite Doors • Patio Doors uPVC Doors Sliding • Sash Windows uPVC & Aluminium Bi-folds • Conservatories Tel/Fax: [phone] Email: [email protected] Unit 5, Modern House, Summer Lane, Barnsley, S70 2NP www.dandiwindows.co.uk OCT 2013 19
