50 JUNE 2014 PRO INSTALLER PRO PRODUCTS www.proinstaller.co.uk Carl F Groupco Stars With New Cylinder The latest own brand hardware to be developed by Carl F Groupco is the CFG3* cylinder. Produced in response to demand for a cylinder which meets 3* accreditation for TS 007, the Kitemarked product achieves PAS 24 and is accredited by Secured by Design. Commenting on the latest manufacturing investment by Carl F Groupco, Sales Director, Norman Berrill, said: “The TS 007 standard can be achieved either by using a 2 star handle (such as the Hoppe PAS 24 High Security Handle) alongside a 1 star cylinder, or by using a 3 star cylinder alongside any handle style. “Offering a 3 star cylinder gives the fabricator an alter- native approach to achieving the standard – it is an option that, depending on the handle used, can also be more cost-effective. “The launch of own brand lines is part of our onestop shop philosophy that is designed to ensure we offer comprehensive product choice and take the pain out of product sourcing.” The cylinder, which carries a full 10 year warranty, features Anti-Drill, Snap, Plug, Pick and Bump, and is available in brass and nickel.

But as you’d expect from the market leading roof manufacturer – the real advantage in this roof system is the simplicity of installation and its flexibility in design to enable the pitch to be easily varied. This innovation along with realROOF, unveiled at last year’s FIT Show, coupled with Ultraframe’s existing range of roofs will ensure that Ultraframe network partners can meet the needs of every type of home extension project – from a home mover looking to refurbish an existing conservatory, a family that needs extra space plus the thermal performance of Loggia Prestige right through to traditional extensions requiring a solid roof. The FIT Show will once again demonstrate that Ultraframe is shaping the future of the conservatory industry. Commercial director Joe Martoccia explains the strategy for unveiling Livinroof at FIT Show: “without question we have the most comprehensive and technically excellent roof offering in the market place – indeed, the range of roofs available can meet the needs of most single storey extensions or refurbishment projects. Critically we want to showcase the simplicity in which a Livinroof can be installed using the same skills, and therefore the same installation team, as a traditional glazed Classic Imagine the perfect Bi-Fold Door System – no compromises The VEKA UK Group has further demonstrated its position as the industry leader in PVC-U systems with the unveiling of the innovative ‘Imagine’ Bi-Fold Door. roof from Ultraframe. As with everything designed by Ultraframe we want to ensure that our network partners can maximise the profit potential of every installation and limit the need to bring in sub-contractors.” Ultraframe will be demonstrating the ease and speed of installation of Livinroof at the FIT Show – Hall 1, stand number 130. The technical experts at The VEKA UK Group chose to go back to the drawing board with this product and ‘re-imagine’ what we have come to think of as a standard Bi-Fold Door. The official launch, following the FIT Show, comes after a successful appearance at Fensterbau. Sales and Marketing Director, Colin Torley explains: “The new Bi-Fold was on display at Fensterbau and visitors to the event were very impressed; we received some extremely positive feedback. “The Imagine Bi-Fold Door has been designed in the UK, for the UK market and our Technical Team is extremely proud of it. The system has been designed ‘from the ground up’ so there are no compromises. When it comes to components, everything has been newly designed specifically for this product. “The result is a technically-advanced bespoke product - available in numerous different configurations - with custom-designed hardware from ERA housed neatly within the profile.” VEKA plc, 01282 716611, www.vekauk.com, [email protected]
