Taking the guess work out of cladding calculation
The new Cladding Calculator too takes all the guess work out of calculating products for a project . Choose a house shape , fill in measurements , choose trims and the calculator will work out exactly how many cladding boards and fitting trims are needed . Freefoam have also taken this one step further and included specification quantities of wooden battens , membrane and fixing screws too – to ensure your estimates are as accurate as can be by providing you with a complete and accurate ‘ shopping list ’ for each project .
Colin St John , Commercial Director explained : “ We wanted to give all our customers the opportunity to see the actual transformation our cladding can bring to their project , allowing them to take more control of the decision making process . We wanted to embrace the needs of the more discerning customer and provide tools that will help and support them in their decision making . Both of these tools are game changers for the cladding market . It puts the decision maker firmly in the driving seat , makes our products accessible and attractive to the home improvement market and puts us at the heart of the buying decision .”
Developed in conjunction with innovative start up Augmented Reality Creations , the tools are aimed at both homeowners , and cladding installers to enable the right choices to be made . They give peace of mind to the homeowner and it provides trade professionals the capability to impress clients with an impressive visual representation of the proposed project and takes any apprehension out of the decision process .

ANOTHER CLEARVIEW GOLF DAY ? IT ’ S PAR FOR THE COURSE
CLEARZINE GETS FIT FOR THE SHOW
Pro Installer ’ s big brother Clearview ’ s weekly newsletter is getting a 12-week makeover ahead of this year ’ s FIT Show . Don ’ t worry , the ‘ regular ’ Clearzine will continue to come out every Monday , bringing the best news in the industry straight to your inbox , but in the run up to the 23-25 May FITShow , an additional special edition FITzine will be sent every Wednesday ; previewing everything you need to know before you head to the NEC . Exhibitors that release news ahead of the event will get the option to book into one or both of the bi-weekly enewsletters throughout March , April and early May to make sure visitors know exactly what is in store for them at this year ’ s 10th anniversary show . The FITzine will be limited to 10 top stories every week , so contributors are urged to book in fast , to avoid disappointment . Advertising banners are also available ; just as with Clearzine .
Following the success of the inaugural Clearview and Pro Installer Golf Day in 2022 , the team has decided to re-run the event in June 2023 . It will to be a hard act to follow the £ 12,000 raised for GM Fundraising but CV Group is more than up for the challenge .
Gary Morton said : “ I am delighted to learn that the team at Clearview will once again be hosting their golf day on behalf of GM Fundraising . Last year ’ s event was one of the best I have been to , and it raised a spectacular amount of money
FITzine will also be used as a channel for the FIT Show organisers to make official announcements before the event , and just like Clearzine , the online newsletter will be sent to a dedicated database of 14,000 + subscribers every week .
Steve Sidebottom , Clearview director commented : “ FITzine is a new product designed exclusively for exhibitors and potential visitors to see first-hand what ’ s happening over the three days of the event . We know excitement is building for for Hope House Children ’ s Hospices . I ’ m already looking forward to another spectacular event .”
This year ’ s event will be hosted at a local ( to us !) course in Yorkshire so save the date ; 29th June . Last year 70 golfers played , with an additional 12 guests for the presentation and evening event , so places are limited .
