REHAU is following the same advice it
offers to all its fabricators and is keeping
its consumer website fresh and updated.
The site at www.rehauhome.com has just
received its latest makeover, which has made it
both more appealing to
homeowners and easier to
navigate.
New photos showing the most
stylish recent installations have
been added to the website
and the homepage has been
redesigned to make the ‘calls
to action’ clearer and easier to
use. There is now a more direct
prompt for visitors to search for
a REHAU Authorised partner in
their area and a new Geolocation service means that the site
can identify a visitor’s location
automatically without them
needing to enter their postcode.
REHAU has matched improved
functionality with improved
SEO and has added new drop
down menus and instant access
to the consumer brochures for
REHAU’s window, door and conservatory ranges.
Links have also been included
to both Facebook and Pinterest,
again in line with the company’s
recommendations to its customers.
Customers who want advice on
how they can update their own
websites or create a mobile
version, can contact REHAU’s
marketing team on: 01989

Andy McDowell, Commercial Director, Pilkington United
Kingdom Limited, said: “The
Pilkington energiKare™ range is

homeowners and we wanted to
continue to innovate and offer

thermal performance, so they can
benefit from the sort of energy
and cost savings previously associated only with expensive triple
glazing. Meanwhile, window installers, fabricators and stockists
will be able to push these benefits to their customers, without
investing in the additional time,
cost and raw materials required
to produce triple glazing.”

original Pilkington K Glass™, it

householders to reduce energy
