INSTALLING AN ALUTECH CORNER BIFOLD STEP-BY-STEP VIDEO

Alutech Systems is continuing to provide support to its fabricator and installer network by premiering a new video on its popular YouTube channel . The latest video - https :// qrco . de / bclPEA - is intended to offer support to experienced installers who may be unfamiliar with the Alutech BF73 system , as well as acting as a training guide for those new to the trade . The Company is also actively encouraging its network of approved fabricators to include the videos on their own websites to act as an effective selling tool to the end user . The video also demonstrates the ease of installation and highlights some of the benefits of the BF73 system that often go overlooked
but make a huge difference to its performance and quality , such as the single inline roller carriage . As it relies on less wheels , it creates less friction when in operation and is therefore smoother running . What ’ s more , it is easier to locate onto one track as opposed to two tracks .

Luke Walker , a Van Vault customer , said : “ A tradesperson ’ s worse nightmare is to have their tools stolen , it ’ s not only their personal belongings but also their livelihood that ’ s taken away from them . So having my van kitted out with a Van Vault helps me sleep
The wheels are also larger to accommodate 120kg sash weight and the weight of the sash distributed over one point instead of two points meaning no ‘ tipping action ’ occurs when the doors are stacked out together . The hinge element is also slimline to help it blend into the gasket lines
better at night and gives me peace of mind that my tools and way of making a living are safe !”
