Patio doors fit the bill

INSTALLER SCHEME TO BE UNVEILED
PatioMaster’ s appeal as the go-to patio door brand is about to get bigger as it gets set to launch new product innovations at this year’ s FIT Show.
Carmen Velilla, PatioMaster’ s brand manager, comments:“ We will be highlighting how we intend to make PatioMaster stand out even further with some great innovations including a new Triple Track system that will open up all sorts of possibilities and Palette, our improved and enhanced colour range. We will also be promoting our increased number of stock items that will speed up order turnaround times.”
Sales of patio doors are continuing to grow, even against other types of sliding doors, so it makes sense to have a strong product in
your portfolio to meet demand. Carmen added:“ PatioMaster fits the bill not least because it has got excellent brand recognition with thousands of fabricators, installers and homeowners thanks to a compelling package of benefits.
“ Every PatioMaster door is unique, precision made to exacting
standards by regional fabricators in the UK and Ireland, and is usually delivered within just five working days.”

TRICKLE VENT LAUNCH

The FIT Show 2017 sees Banbury-based Glazpart extend its range of trickle vents with the launch of the Mk2 Link Vent.
The product range is described as the most compact, efficient and inconspicuous of trickle vents. It is designed to be a‘ quality final touch’ to blend into the window, and the new design reduces the external canopy depth by over a third from 37mm to 25mm. This still meets the minimum requirements of approved document – part F. Available in two sizes, the product features new location clips which speed up fitting while improving location accuracy both vertically and horizontally during installation. There are also no end caps to be lost in transit or on site.
Mk2 Link Vents come with over 40 finishes from moulded solid colours and woodgrain matches. The trend is to add value to the final product as windows are dressed with components finished to match the window profile or system.
