6 NOVEMBER 2014 PRO INSTALLER PRO NEWS www.proinstaller.co.uk ORANGERY INSTALLATION SUCCESS The success of Synseal’s Orangery Collection keeps on growing, with installations taking place throughout the UK. One of the latest examples of this success is the installation of an Integra parapet wall style orangery in Lancashire. The choice of the Integra orangery design was driven by a desire from the homeowner to have an installation that would most closely achieve the look and feel of a fully brick-built extension, while still benefiting from the extra light that comes from having an overhead glass roof. The Integra is unique in today’s marketplace in that the concealed lantern roof is designed to fit neatly behind the parapet wall for a very traditional orangery look, with no decorative external soffit or guttering system showing. Networks UPVC was identified by the homeowner via K2’s online directory. They carried out the full installation, with the Integra orangery components being supplied by local K2 fabricator partner Premier Conservatories Supplies, based in Bolton. Peter Marsden, owner of Networks UPVC Ltd, said, “We found the Integra kit very easy to install, saving us several days of installation in comparison to other solutions. In addition, our K2 fabricator, Premier Conservatory Supplies, was on hand to guide us through the installation of the orangery, which was done in less than 4 hours, thanks to everything being supplied cut to size and ready to use.” Premier Conservatories Supplies Sales Director, Andrew Buglass, added, “Historically we have mainly supplied Rio flat-roofed orangeries, so this new experience of supplying an Integra was extremely beneficial to our business. The Orangery Collection has been engineered specifically to use the same core structural design, with slight variations allowing for significant changes in the aesthetic look of each of the styles.” For more information email mark.schlotel@ synseal.com Online ordering sees sales reach new heights Sales of Truedor from IG Doors have hit new heights following the launch of the company’s new online design and ordering systems. Richard Kirman, Sales and Marketing Manager for IG Doors Trade division, tells us more... “As we have said before the ability to offer online design and online ordering is a must for composite door suppliers in today’s modern market; it is the way the industry operates and was very much on the wish list of all the people we spoke to in the run up to the launch of Truedor. It gives customers the flexibility to operate their businesses at times which suit them.” “Since we made our online design and ordering systems live we have seen rapid sales growth; it fully justifies our investment and shows that we are supporting our customers in exactly what they want us to.” Financial rewards for ordering online “The fact is that if our customers order and pay online, then that saves us time and we should share those savings with them rather than keeping them for ourselves. That’s why we are offering all of our customers a £10 discount when they order online and a further £10 discount when they pay online. It is a part of our customer focused ethos; it has to be a partnership to succeed in the long term and hopefully offering these discounts shows that we are serious when we say this. It is a tangible sign of us giving something back to our customers where we both benefit.” “Developing the online ordering system is a key milestone in our development plan; it brings us even closer to our customers and is the last of the major develop- ‘There are going to be many more developments’ ments we need to support them in the market. There are going to be many more developments; additional products, more mar- keting support for trade, and more marketing support to the consumer through our relationship with George Clarke. It is a really exciting time ahead for us and for our customers, and with the market for Composite Doors still growing what better time for new customers to join with us to maximise the business opportunity that brings.” For more information visit www.truedor.co.uk
