18 OCTOBER 2014 PRO INSTALLER PRO NEWS www.proinstaller.co.uk illbruck make A-rated windows work for Network VEKA members One of the highlights of the year for many window installers was a visit to the FIT Show, in Telford. illbruck welcomed a substantial number of visitors onto its stand. With the aid of a fully-qualified window installer, videos and models, illbruck demonstrated all aspects of window installation, hammering home the message that new solutions are available when installing replacement uPVC and other A-Rated systems. One visitor who viewed the demonstrations was Managing Director of Network VEKA, John Ogilvie, who explained; “We were impressed by how illbruck’s technology delivered great advantages to the homeowner, yet still the windows could be fitted more quickly.” Network VEKA is always looking at promoting best practice in window installation and has recently carried out seminars to assist almost 400 Assure members’ fitters and surveyors in gaining certification for Minimum Technical Com- petencies (MTCs), as now required by the Department for Communities and Local Government. After the show, Network Veka looked into the benefits using these products could bring their members. With contemporary A-rated window systems offered by Network VEKA, it is vital that the long-term cost saving benefits are not undermined, and the performance of the fitting system at the perimeter of the window is key to this. Following on from this, illbruck is now delighted to announce that the company is an affiliated member of Network VEKA and is looking forward to promoting their products further to over 140 Network VEKA Members and 700 installers.
