DEKKO REPORTS OVER HALF OF ORDERS ARE FOR COLOURED PRODUCTS
Dekko Window Systems has seen a strong demand for coloured uPVC and aluminium , with the leading trade fabricator reporting that 55 % of the orders it received in the past year being for coloured profile .
Sales Director Kurt Greatrex comments : “ Coloured profile has been a growing trend across the industry for a while now , especially in the post-lockdown home improvement boom .
“ Homeowners have been investing more and more in their properties , and there ’ s certainly an uptake in people choosing colours rather than the standard white products we ’ re used to .
“ And it ’ s thanks to our trusted suppliers that we ’ ve been able to keep up with that demand .
“ Deceuninck , for example , has been a long-standing and reliable supplier of an extensive range of high-performing uPVC products such as flush sash window systems and patio door systems , all available in a wide range of foils and colour coated finishes .
“ As with us , colour is a priority for Deceuninck , and they ’ re able to offer us a quick turnaround on these products , enabling us to offer quick lead times to our customers in turn .”
Further boosting Dekko ’ s colour sales is the recent launch of 10 new colours by Residence 9 .
“ We were always able to offer our customers this premium range in a wide range of colours and wood effects , but thanks to their recent expansion , we ’ re now able to offer exclusive colours such as Clotted Cream , Cotswold Biscuit , Eclectic Grey , and No . 10 Black , to name a few , giving our customers a lot more to choose from .”
In addition , Dekko ’ s Räum collection of luxury aluminium windows and doors are all finished with a durable powder coat paint application , available from hundreds of colours with matt or gloss finishes , woodgrain and textured options , or a special scratch-resistant , low-maintenance Coatex finish .
Kurt concludes : “ With such a wide range of options , it ’ s no surprise that we ’ ve seen a huge increase in demand for coloured profile .
“ It ’ s certainly a trend I see continuing , and at Dekko , thanks to our valued and reliable suppliers , we ’ re in a strong position to keep our customers happy .”
