Sternfenster has strengthened its position as a forward thinking UK fabricator by integrating Sense by MACO, the smart window and door sensor technology, across its product portfolio. The move reinforces a 16 year partnership between the two companies and positions installers to meet growing homeowner demand for smart home capability.
For Sternfenster, the decision reflects a strategic commitment to innovation and a continuation of its mission to deliver high quality,
|
future proofed products.“ MACO’ s quality and service is fantastic, and it gives us confidence in both their brand and our own finished products,” Tom, the Northern Sales Manager from Sternfenster commented.“ With smart products as standard, we’ re helping installers stand out and run more profitable, future focused businesses.”
Unlike alternative systems that require altering production processes, Sense by MACO integrates seamlessly into Sternfenster’ s PVC and aluminium ranges without aesthetic changes, machinery

downtime, or new CNC programming. The backwards compatible design also creates opportunities for installers to return to past customers and upsell smart upgrades.
Demand for smart home integration continues to accelerate, particularly among millennial and Gen Z homeowners. With Sense by MACO, installers can now tap into this expanding demographic with minimal training or disruption.
“ MACO is proud to partner with Sternfenster on their smart technology journey,” said Steve
|
Langton, MACO’ s National Sales Manager.“ Their commitment to quality and innovation mirrors our own, and Sense by MACO gives their installer network a powerful differentiator backed by hardware trusted by the trade.”
Sternfenster sees this as the start of a broader shift toward smart enabled fenestration.
“ Smart technology will shape the future of our industry,” Tom added.
“ Installers who don’ t offer smart products will increasingly be at a

disadvantage. Our message to the industry is simple: embrace the change, or get left behind.”
Sense by MACO offers a smart solution that ensures that installers and homeowners alike benefit from greater security, convenience and the seamless integration expected in modern homes.
