PROTECT YOUR EYES

Bringing safety, style and performance to the health and safety industry, Supertouch, the specialist in PPE and workwear solutions, has announced that it has joined forces with Pyramex, a provider of protective eyewear.

PICTURE- POSTCARD RENOVATION

Twelve Profile 22 windows were supplied by P22 customer FrameXpress for a picturesque Cotswolds cottage, in an area where specifiers demand sensitivity to the original appearance of many properties.
“ The homeowner’ s brief was for a perfect visual match in relation to the style of all windows at the property, primarily to complement the area, which is recognised for its rolling hills and picture-postcard cottages,” said sales manager Ian Davis.“ Requesting cream windows and doors that would match the surrounding properties, the homeowners needed a solid guarantee that the products could replicate the original heritage look, or we would have lost out on the contract.
“ One contributing factor to winning it was the inclusion of a 50mm plant-on bar to the glass, which was also possible to colour match. The complete project compromised 12 windows and two sets of French doors, all A rated for
excellent energy efficiency. Special mounted bars, cream foiling and advanced security features completed the windows, and due to a tight deadline, the windows were manufactured and installed quickly.”

With eight designs released into the portfolio, customers will have a much greater choice of lenses and frames- each designed to meet the specific needs of their working environment. Through a deep understanding of the key markets and applications, Supertouch aims to deliver a one-stopshop for high-quality protective workwear, with products that not only meet the safety standards, but look great too.
Ever-Lite
For many working within the sector, protective eyewear may be required for much of the day and therefore comfort is key. Weighing in at just 22gm, Ever-Lite is one of the lightest protective eyewear solutions on the market, and also presents the clearest panoramic view, without obstruction. In comparison, Trulock presents a patented temple structure locking the spectacle in place for increased comfort, whilst retaining the lightweight feature at just 21gm.
Itek
For those looking for a framefree spectacle, there is Itek – presenting a soft integrated nose piece and soft dual-injected rubber temple tips, the range is ideal for all-day wear, with non-slip technology for increased comfort. Available in clear and grey, the design meets the needs of a variety of applications.
The new range also features the PMXSLIM, offering a slim fit for smaller facial features and an adjustable PVC nose piece. Venture 3 on the other hand, benefits from a soft and adjustable nose piece and
ventilation across the top of the frame, as well as a 9.5 base curve for excellent side protection.
Discussing the new partnership, Stephen Beresford and strategic marketing manager at Supertouch said:“ We pride ourselves on supplying high quality protective workwear solutions for a broad range of market sectors and Pyramex is a perfect fit with our core values.
“ We understand that when it comes to safety, compliance is
key but style and comfort are also incredibly important. If a user feels comfortable in their workwear, they are more likely to wear it – protective eyewear and other safety equipment should never hinder a job, it is there to protect the worker and at times those around them. With Pyramex we can offer both style and substance – that’ s a combination we believe will sell.”
