Over one hundred additional pieces of Coastal Ironmongery have been made available to touch and show on Tommy Trinder ’ s Framepoint ® app this month , as the two firms strengthen their ties in the wake of growing demand for premium ironmongery amongst window installers .

“ It ’ s easy to show off premium features on Framepoint ®,” says founder and CEO of Tommy Trinder , Chris Brunsdon . “ Being able to touch and instantly show client ’ s how different a window looks when fitted with an upgraded Coastal BLU fastener , as opposed to a standard handle helps Framepoint ® subscribers stand out from the crowd and get more for the job .”

More than 2000 Coastal handles have been quoted

on Framepoint ® since the two firms began working together a little over six months ago . Testament , says Coastal MD Loren Jenner , of the growing recognition amongst window installers of the value quality ironmongery can add to a sale :

“ Adding quality fittings provides a relatively low cost way to dramatically enhance the look and feel of your windows and doors and set you apart from the competition . The Framepoint ® platform allows installers to demonstrate this value instantly .”

Upgrading to premium door ironmongery is proving particularly popular amongst Framepoint ® subscribers ; over half of Coastal fittings quoted via the app are added to entrance doors , French doors and bifolds . Says Chris :

“ Framepoint ® installers tell us they love the ability to quickly and easily model doors with different combinations of ironmongery and colour

finishes . Being able to immediately show how choices will look in situ is also important ; not only does it secure the sale it cuts out all room for error .”

Amongst the latest pieces to appear on Framepoint ® are Coastal ’ s range of premium pegstays ; now available to touch and show on timber casements , as well as premium PVCu frames and steel look aluminium .

“ Framepoint ® makes it easy to sell premium features such as dual colour , dummy vents , mechanical joints , flush casements , surface mounted bars , deep timber-look cills , deep bottom sash rails . But I must say there is something really wow about adding a Coastal pegstay to a window in Framepoint ® - it ’ s the pièce de resistance .”
