REAL ALUMINIUM KICKS
OFF 2019 ON A HIGH
Edgetech heads to Dusseldorf
for 25th annual Glasstec expo
Warm-edge experts Edget-
ech have returned from a highly
successful appearance at Glasstec
2018.
Celebrating its 25th anniversa-
ry, Glasstec is one of the world’s
biggest and most respected glass
industry trade expos, and this year
drew more than 42,000 visitors
from over 120 countries to Dussel-
dorf between the 23rd and 26th of
October.
Edgetech was one of 1,280
exhibitors from fifty countries, and
demonstrated the array of hugely
impressive projects its products
have featured in at a stand bearing
the motto ‘Always Present in Pres-
tigious Buildings.’
In hot regions like the Middle
East, windows and glass facades
are subject to much higher stress,
because of large differentials
between inside and outside tem-
peratures. Super Spacer’s 100%
memory makes it invaluable in
these circumstances – no matter
how much a unit might expand in
hot weather, it will always return
to its original position.
Tall, tower block-style build-
ings are also very popular in
the area, which also presents
challenges. Again, Super Spacer’s
flexibility is extremely useful
here, significantly reducing the
mechanical load.

REAL Aluminium is set to
see in the New Year on a high
with the announcement that its
year to date sales have grown by
nearly 45%.
The three-year peak follows an
intense period of investment at
REAL Aluminium, which included a
£250,000 development programme
to create an additional 23,000ft2
aluminium factory. Significantly
boosting REAL Aluminium’s pro-
duction space, the new facility in
Stonehouse, Gloucestershire, has
helped REAL to ramp up produc-
tion of its range of aluminium win-
dows and doors by 16% and bi-fold
doors by a phenomenal 27%.
Now with an even brighter 2019
on the horizon, REAL Alumini-
um will be unveiling several new
developments to enable customers
to win more business and enhance
their profits. A number of major
product enhancements are in the
pipeline and REAL also plans to lay
on a series of in-depth technical
training days to help installers build
confidence in aluminium and learn
how to avoid costly mistakes.
Even with such rapid growth,
REAL Aluminium finished the year
with a two-week lead time on win-
dows and bifolding doors.
