ERA’S FAB&FIX RANGE
HELPS BOOST GROWTH FOR
HERITAGE TRADE FRAMES
ERA, the security expert, is con-
tinuing to play a key role in helping
Heritage Trade Frames and its customers
continue to flourish in a competitive
market. The Bolton-based trade super
fabricator has enjoyed steady growth
over the past two years, and management
are clear that part of this success has
been thanks to the popularity of ERA’s
Fab&Fix range of decorative hardware
with its customers. Now the company
is adding the Fab&Fix Heritage range,
it is confident its addition will help its
customers to continue to attract the right
type of business.
Designed with a traditional look and
feel, the Fab&Fix Heritage range provides
the perfect hardware solutions for creating
a sophisticated style, which is particularly
ideal for cottage-type doors and traditional
flush casement windows in period build-
ings. From door handles and letterplates
to stylish window hardware, Heritage
Trade Frames can now offer homeown-
ers a new choice of beautifully designed
hardware.
The range’s durable Hardex coating is
resilient enough to withstand up to 1,000
hours of salt spray testing, making it one
of the most durable finishes on the market.
Fab&Fix is perfectly suited down to the
last screw, and offers unparalleled flexibil-
ity. This lack of restriction in suited style,
colour and breadth of range is unique in
the market.
Commenting on the new range, Phil
Cresswell, Heritage Trade Frames’s Sales &
Marketing Manager, said:
“Having worked with ERA’s team and
offered ERA’s Fab&Fix range of decorative
hardware for thirteen years we’re very
happy to recommend both the service and
range of products that the company pro-
vides. Most of our business lies with retail
customers, and they recognise the Fab&Fix
range as a premium brand that they can
simply fit and walk away from, secure in
the knowledge that they are offering an
excellent product that will stand the test
of time.
“The fact that we’re now able to boost
their selection of Fab&Fix products with the
addition of the Heritage range is great news
for our retail customers. Those who are
already offering it say homeowners love the
finish and quality of the products.“

Stylish and hardwearing, the new
door furniture is made from corrosion-re-
sistant stainless steel and comes in a
choice of 10 finishes, including contem-
porary brushed stainless steel and the
new Enduro Steel and Antique Black, to
complement all door styles. At 3” high, the
numerals are clearly visible but don’t dom-
inate or detract from decorative features
on the door.
VBH Managing Director Simon Monks
says: “We’re constantly innovating and
expanding our greenteQ suite to give VBH
customers an edge over their competitors.
Our new Kappa numerals and letters are
another great addition to the range. They
come in an impressive choice to suit both
contemporary and traditional doors, and
are backed by our 10-year corrosion and
mechanical guarantee for extra peace of
mind.”

EDGETECH TAKES TOP SPOT WITH 91.5%
Warm-edge expert Edgetech has won the National
Fenestration Awards’ Spacer Bar Manufacturer
category with a staggering 91.5% of the vote.
Held annually, the NFAs are the
UK glazing industry’s only democratic
award scheme, inviting thousands of
installers, fabricators and other industry
professionals from across the country to
vote for the best British glazing has to
offer.
Edgetech’s Edgetherm RS rigid spacer
also came joint third in the New Prod-
uct category – a great achievement for a
product that’s only recently been an-
nounced. It’s the icing on the cake for the
Coventry firm, after a 2019 that’s seen it
develop a raft of new products, and mark
thirty years of its flagship Super Spacer.
Managing Director Chris Alderson
comments: “It’s always hugely gratifying
to win an award – but not much beats
winning one that’s voted on by hundreds
of customers, colleagues and friends.
We’re not going to get complacent
though. In 2020, we’re going to strive to
do even better and are looking forward
to launching some ground-breaking new
innovations.”
