MAY 2018 | 21 News Read online at www.proinstaller.co.uk Profile 22’s Frontier composite doors: the perfect composite doors for Optima Profile 22’s Optima and Frontier offer the perfect composite door solution. Gerald Allen, Profile 22 Marketing Manager, said: “With Frontier and Optima you get two best in class products that deliver a perfectly suited solution.” The Frontier range of composite doors was launched last year. Manufac- tured in the UK, the range delivers everything you would expect from a Profile 22 product, including a ten year guarantee. Available in 44mm and 48mm versions and suit- able for standard or low threshold projects, the solid core timber door leaves are available in 27 designs and ten colours, each with a matching outer frame. The doors feature a beautiful wood grain finish that replicates timber and gives a more realistic effect. COOLSKIN heat reflective technology minimises solar absorption and superior scratch and abrasion resist- ance keeps doors in great condition. Security is as- sured with a dedicated keep and Yale lock options too. Frontier doors are avail- able in three variations so there’s an option to suit every set up. The leaf only option provides solid timber core leaves for fabricators to manufacture into door sets. The pre-prepped option sees doors prepped to a fabricator’s specification with door furniture available via fellow Epwin company Safeware. For fabricators looking to reduce the num- ber of suppliers they work with, glazing options can also be supplied and fitted. All-in-all, Frontier doors offer the perfect com- plement to Optima, the window system designed for the 21st century and beyond. So if you want to deliver a perfectly finished project, look no further than Optima and Frontier from Profile 22.

But talk to any installer who uses Trojan’s Stainless-Steel hardware and they’ll tell you that callbacks are a thing of the past. Zinc or aluminium-based plated or painted products will corrode sooner or later as a result of salt or acid erosion attack especially if the surface coating is dam- aged. It’s a problem that has big cost implications for installers, not to men- tion reputational issues. Every callback takes time away from new installations that generate revenue for a business. Plus, if hardware starts to fail, it doesn’t mat- ter how happy a customer was when the installation was first completed or how well the complaint about the failure is handled, the customer’s opinion of the installer is likely to be neg- atively affected. Trojan’s market leading 25-year surface finish guar- antee protects installers against both these issues. So, if you would like to protect your business’s bottom line and preserve your well-earned reputa- tion, Trojan’s Stainless-Steel range has the answer. www.trojangroup.com VEKA ‘JOINS FORCES’ WITH THE ARMY RESERVE Industry-leading systems supplier VEKA Group has been awarded a certificate for being an “armed-forces friendly” company.
