THE INNOVATIVE SYSTEM FROM BILLINGHAM

The latest product from Made for Trade applies the same ethos and attributes as other multi-award winning Korniche product .
Fabrication of Made for Trade ’ s new Korniche Flat Glass TM system is now underway at the innovative company ’ s north east manufacturing site and kits are ready to order , as the award-winning company looks ahead to a busy 2024 with production ramping up to full capacity .
Unveiled at the FIT Show earlier in 2023 , Flat Glass TM is the third product to be released as part of MFT ’ s market-leading Korniche brand and applies the same characteristics and unique selling propositions that have made both the Bi-Folding Door and Roof Lantern huge sales successes in the industry across the last decade . The FIT Show event witnessed a notable amount of positive feedback from trade installers and the glazing industry in general ; seemingly keen to use a solution that applies Korniche ’ s USPs to a flat rooflight installation .
The Korniche brand has always represented a new era in the field of fenestration design , and these innovations revolve around offering benefits for all involved , with superior quality and contemporary style at a competitive price point . The aim is to create not only the best products at the best prices for the homeowner , but also benefit trade partners and installers via market-leading design attributes to simplify fitting and minimise time spent on site .
From the outset , the Korniche Flat Glass TM has been designed to be easy to install for market leading ‘ fuss-free fitting ’, and watertight in the shortest time possible with unrivalled efficiency . The extruded aluminium frame arrives
on site fully assembled , and just needs to be positioned , secured , and sealed in a matter of minutes : truly ‘ Fit , Glaze & Go .’
In addition to industry-leading lead times , the glass arrives together as part of MFT ’ s ‘ One- Drop ’ in-house delivery service , and that glazing can be simply clipped into the fitted frame without mess or adjustment , minimising delays , or potential clean-up for the installer . The unique clipin system also benefits the homeowner ; elegantly and flawlessly concealing the joint between the glass and internal ceiling finish . They can stay safe in the knowledge that should accidents ever happen in years to come , and the glass needs to be replaced , it can be done so not only quickly and easily but crucially without any disturbance to the integrity of the internal finish and plaster , thanks to a new patent pending design feature .
As with all Korniche and MFT products , ultimate security is unparalleled ; with the new system meeting the strict PAS24:2016 standard for enhanced protection and ultimately peace of mind for the home . Furthermore , Korniche Flat GlassTM comes backed by the same ten-year warranty as all Made for Trade products , as well as industry-leading customer support and service .
Made for Trade have always been proud of applying precision engineering experience and expertise to the fenestration industry ; something highlighted across a whole host of awards for previous products . The Korniche Flat Glass TM is no exception , with an ingenious outer subframe that allows the ability to specify either
double or triple glazing from the outset without the need for bulky or unsightly add-ons to compensate ; workarounds that go against the clean and sleek look of a modern flat glass system such as the Korniche with its ultra-slimline profile design . Regardless of whether double or triple-glazed , maximising efficiency to save energy and ultimately reduce household running costs has never been so paramount – especially in a home space that is intended for year-round use . The Korniche Flat Glass TM stands out with its exceptional
thermal efficiency , largely because of the polyamide inner section and thermal break .
In detail , the Korniche Flat Glass TM offers sizes up to 3.0m long and 1.7m wide ( up to 3sqm total area ), with 28mm double or 44mm triple glazing options , as well the ability to specify as laminated . Glass units are available in a range of tints including clear , blue , or neutral to satisfy both functional and aesthetic design needs , whilst the ability to have a self-cleaning coating offers exceptional weather resistance and lower maintenance for a
new home project or renovation . Fascia colours include Matt Grey RAL 7016 , Matt Black RAL 9005 and Gloss White RAL 9910 , whilst bespoke RAL or BS shades are also available on special order and a piano black gloss bezel complements each option , meticulously framing the seamless edge glass unit .
When it comes to finding a supplier , Made for Trade have introduced ‘ Where to Buy ’ on the Korniche website for homeowners to simplify search , which has been developed entirely with convenience in mind .
 By simply entering a postcode , choice of service and the desired Korniche product , ‘ Where to Buy ’ will instantly generate a list of suppliers in distance order , enabling customers to find the right supplier in their area with just a few clicks . With Korniche , making an informed choice is easier and more efficient than ever ; now across a range of three products to order .
