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.”

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.”
