Long gone are the days when windows were white or woodgrain . But since colour exploded onto the scene installers have struggled to find ways to demonstrate the burgeoning range of options that are available .
Enter The Magic Paintbrush from Tommy Trinder ; a slick , one click function that allows users of their Framepoint ® app to suite the colour of all items in a quote in seconds .
One click on The Magic Paintbrush and you have the option to suite the colour of all items in a quote ; frames , sashes , cills , add-ons , internal and external finishes can all be cloned in a click . Colours can be applied regardless of material or product type . For example , if your quote includes an Aluminium bifold , PVCu door and some timber sash windows you can suite the colour of all those items in one go by clicking The Magic Paintbrush .

’ updated too , allowing customers to visualise the effect of their colour choices in real time ; a source of wonder for homeowners according to founder , Chris Brunsdon :
“ There ’ s real wow factor to our new Magic Paintbrush feature ,” says founder Chris Brunsdon . “ There ’ s lots of ooohhhs and ahhhsss when you show homeowners how their house looks in a range of colours , in a click !”
With over 170 foil choices within Framepoint ®, and well over 500 paint finishes - the firm felt it was important to be able to navigate options quickly :
“ Saving time is one of the number 1 priorities amongst Framepoint ® users ,” explains Chris . “ We see this launch as the first in a series of updates that internally has come to be known as the “ Save Hours Suite ”. Further development of this feature will allow Framepoint ® users to clone any aspect of an item instantly ; for example , with one click to modify leads , Georgians , handle choices , joint types , mouldings etc across an entire quote composed of any product and in any material .”

Ultraframe has announced a further enhanced support package for users of its Classic Roof system . The system has recently been relaunched with a host of new product features , as well as stand-out support in the form of the new Electronic Structural Design Guide ( eSDG ), a range of digital selling tools to help installers sell Classic Roofs remotely during the lockdown and beyond , and a series of webinars to enhance customer ’ s knowledge of the system .
Explaining further , Ultraframe Marketing Director , Alex Hewitt , said : “ Ultraframe has always prided itself on offering excellent marketing support and this all started with the Classic System . It ’ s now 25 years since we gained BBA accreditation for the system and over the years , we ’ ve continued to support Classic users with many other initiatives , such as the first overprinted retail brochures in our sector , the Certificate of Authenticity , and digital tools such as the Ultraframe Sales App . More recent additions to our Classic support package have been designed around remote working , and we ’ re sure that they will be a great help to Classic users during these challenging trading times .”
The new eSDG is a valuable digital tool which allows Classic Roof customers to determine how big openings for doors can be for the roof to be structurally sound , by calculating maximum unsupported spans possible on a conservatory or extension for each face of the eaves . Previously , Classic users needed to refer to a generic chart to find this valuable and crucial information .
The new selling tools have been added to Ultraframe ’ s Lockdown Toolkit - a digital toolbox to help Ultraframe customers - generate and capture leads and sell remotely . The new additions which will be available during February , include detailed Classic-themed emails to send out after an enquiry , and a brand-new proposal generator , pre-loaded with Classic system content .
Finally , Ultraframe Classic Roof users can take advantage of a series of webinars to enhance their knowledge about the system , and ensure they are fully equipped to take advantage of the support available to them during lockdown and beyond . The webinars , which cover everything from surveying to selling online , are available to all Ultraframe Classic customers , are free of charge and simple to register for .
Concluding , Alex said : “ Here at Ultraframe , our offer has always been about providing the best support we can for our Classic system , as well as continually enhancing the system itself to keep it at the forefront of conservatory roofing technology .”
