NEW PERFORMANCE
HARDWARE RANGE
Synseal is launching the Performance Hardware range of window and door handles for
exclusive use with the company’s Legend, Shield and SynerJy 70mm PVC-U systems.
The new Performance Hardware range includes inline or cranked espag window handles and lever/
lever, lever/pad or inli ne lever/pad door handles,
all available in a choice of 5 finishes: Polished
Gold, Polished Chrome, Satin Silver, White and
Black.
Synseal will continue to partner with some of the leading
hardware suppliers in the country because they can offer
customers a wide variety of hardware choices. However, the
new Performance Hardware range reflects Synseal’s ongoing strategy to provide a true one-stop-shop supply option
for fabricator partners.
Mark Frain, Synseal’s Hardware Category Manager, is delighted to launch this new range. He said: “Synseal consults
with its fabricator partners on a regular basis and the issue
of differentiation in hardware is something we have been
discussing with them for a while. Our customers understandably want products no-one else has access to at a
price that allows them to remain competitive. The devil is
always in the detail and after many months of hard work
and a rigorous testing programme we have now developed
the ultimate solution.”
‘the range has been meticulously
tested to meet and exceed
industry standards’
A unique Synseal design with common features between
the window and door handles creates a complete and
matching suite of products. The range has been meticulously tested to meet and exceed industry standards, and
offers a ten year mechanical guarantee as well as a five year
coatings guarantee on plated finishes and a ten year guarantee on powder coated finishes.

LEADING
MANUFACTURER
PRAISES 3D THINKING
One of the UK’s leading window and door manufacturers, Nationwide
Windows, has praised Avocet’s Affinity 3D hinge – a product
that is so simple it can be adjusted using just an Allen key.
Daryl Cashmore, operations
director of Nationwide, said:
“We’ve been using Avocet’s
3D hinge for close to two
years and in that time not
one of our installers has had
a bad word to say about it.
“Avocet’s 3D hinge is the best
and easiest to use on the market.”
The 3D hinge, which is available as an individual product or as
part of Avocet’s Composite Door
Hardware Package, is PAS024
compliant, has Secured by Design
approval, can hold up to 150kg
on three hinges, is available in a
huge range of colours, and doesn’t
require face fixed flag fixings.
In addition, as the only truly
active 3D butt hinge available for
composite doors in the UK, it can
be actively adjusted in three dimensions without needing to reset
the door position.
‘To say we’re
proud of the 3D
hinge would be an
understatement’
Christopher Burrows, Avocet
Hardware’s head of UK sales (window & door hardware division),
said: “To say we’re proud of the
3D hinge would be an understatement. It demonstrates everything
good about Avocet in terms of
product development and innovation, and is a clear indication of
where we’re planning to take the
company under the ownership of
the Jain family.”
“As a manufacturer we are fully
aware that you live or die by the
quality of your products, and what
we’ve found under the new ownership is that our products don’t
just stand up to scrutiny, they pass
with flying colours.”
