STATE-OF-THE-ART TRADE COUNTER AND SHOWROOM EXPANSION

Unique Window Systems Ltd has continued their significant investment , on the back of huge machinery upgrades in 2016 and 2017 , with a state-of-the-art trade counter and showroom .
Unique offer a wide array of fenestration products , from Unifold – Unique ’ s very own aluminium bi-fold door system to contemporary aluminium windows . Unique identified a larger trade counter and showroom as the next natural step for the Leicester-based fabricator for them to suitably showcase the great choice their prospective and existing customers have available to choose from , as well as utilise an expert team of sales staff who can offer excellent customer service to customers .
The trade counter also stores a great range of useful building products perfect for installers . PVCu and glass cleaner , silicone sealant and a great choice of hardware options are just a small selection of the products now available at Unique Window Systems trade counter .
Unique Window Systems will be running an open day on Monday 21st May 2018 , to officially launch their showroom . The day will include special offers on a range of products , goodie bag giveaways , including travel mugs , measuring tapes and pens and pencils , as well as free food offerings to all visitors . The day will run all day from 8am to 5pm and is located at Unique ’ s new address , which is Unit 2 , 33 Menzies Road , Leicester LE4 0JL . With a great location , just outside the city centre , Unique are aiming for their trade counter to be a one-stop shop for local builders and fitters to visit for all their fenestration and building product needs . Unique ’ s new showroom exemplifies the dramatic expansion of
the company over the past several years , with the financial success of Unique allowing Sunil and Atul Patel , joint owners of the company , to invest straight back into the business . 2016 saw Unique acquire an additional factory to solely house their aluminium production operations and this was accompanied by significant investment in the company ’ s aluminium machinery , which included a full suite of Emmegi equipment for the 43,000 sq . ft . space .
State-of-the-art production space and machinery has allowed Unique Window Systems to prove
themselves as trailblazers in both the commercial and residential aluminium markets , offering several aluminium solutions including the hybrid WarmCore system from Synseal Group . Unique fabricates the innovative WarmCore system in their aluminium factory and the system has proven to be an incredibly successful product for Unique in the trade , commercial and new-build sectors due to its aluminium aesthetics combined with the performance of a distinctive PVCu thermal core , in turn , delivering impressive U-values for customers .
Last year , Unique elevated their PVCu production , with an investment that equates to over £ 2.5 million with a full suite of Promac machinery , including a second BDM Cutting and Machining Centre . This machinery investment is to improve efficiency , reliability and the quality of Unique ’ s fenestration products for their customers so whilst they increase their capacity capabilities , the condition of their products will continue to be of an outstanding standard .
Unique ’ s sales team moved into new offices across from their factories for both departments to be dedicated to their respective operations team . This has streamlined both the operations and sales departments with a clear space for each division to carry out their duties whilst still in close proximity with one another .
Unique now have a dedicated Trade Counter Manager who is on-hand to offer expert advice and support to customers . Wayne Morton has been appointed Trade Counter Manager at Unique Window Systems ; an experienced manager with over 15 years of
industry knowledge to utilise for any queries customers may have .
James Raven , Trade Sales Director at Unique Window Systems , said :
“ The devotion to an improvement in product quality following such a huge investment in both our aluminium and PVCu machinery is evidence of our commitment to our customers and our intent to deliver a consistently excellent product and aid our customer ’ s growth as businesses .”
James continues , “ Ultimately , we ’ re a volume business and over 2,000 windows are consistently coming out of our factories every week , with capacity now upwards of 3,000 frames after our investment last year - you can ’ t do that and sustain quality without a high level in automation . The investment we have made in machinery has allowed us to guarantee consistent quality .”
Unique Window Systems ’ trade counter and showroom is already open , so if you can ’ t wait to visit on the 21st May , why not pop down and visit now at Unit 2 , 33 Menzies Road in Leicester ( just off Parker Drive ).
