ALUK LAUNCHES NEW LUMINIA VERANDA SYSTEM
AluK has officially launched its new Luminia Veranda system, designed to give customers an exciting new business strand targeting all those homeowners who want to make more of their outdoor living space.
The stylish glazed Veranda perfectly bridges the gap between house and garden, and provides fabricators and installers with a potentially valuable new sales
opportunity alongside virtually every bi-fold or sliding door installation.
The Luminia Veranda is available in four different models to suit any contemporary or traditionally styled property and in four popular coloured, all with the reassurance of the Qualicoat quality label.
The Premium model features thermal breaks, allowing it to be combined with low threshold, easy glide glass sliding doors and protective side walls to create a truly year-round indoor / outdoor option. The Modern model is a more contemporary option with slimmer sight lines, while the two Enhanced models – available with standard or Victorian style guttering, are the ones designed for larger open spans.

South Cheshire Glass recently had the opportunity to demonstrate its quality and expertise in a charming property near Nantwich in Cheshire.
Graham Saunders, South Cheshire’ s General Manager, takes up the story:“ Our customers had a delightful property but they wanted to replace the windows and

|
|
doors to take the aesthetics to the next level as well as improve thermal efficiency and security.”
South Cheshire Glass is a Universal Trade Frames’ customer and a member of Spectus’ Excellence as Standard installer programme. They knew that Spectus products could deliver what was needed. Graham says:“ The requirements
|
included casement windows, circular frames, French doors and door combination frames and we used Golden Oak and Chartwell finishes from the Spectrum colour range.”
The windows and doors were part of a wider refurbishment
|
programme and installation took place in phases over the course of a year, with separate elevations completed at each visit.

FEEDBACK SHOWS SUCCESS
It’ s said that customer feedback is the best way to gauge a product’ s success. And feedback about Profile 22’ s Optima system is perfectly demonstrating the impact it’ s having on the market.
Ryan Johnson, Managing Director of Emplas says:“ Profile 22 and Epwin have taken the feedback from fabricators and installers and brought that into the design of Optima.
Many fabricators are concerned about what switching to a new system will do to their production schedules but with Profile 22 change need not be difficult. In 2016 the company successfully undertook a complete changeover of nearly 100 Profile 22 fabricators to Optima in just nine months and have seamlessly brought on board a significant number of new fabricators so far this year too.
All this positive feedback is reflected in Optima figures. Record numbers of fabricators are switching to Optima and sales figures are very strong. www. profile22. co. uk
The Vida All-Purpose screw pack provides a convenient and efficient solution by containing a selection of screws.
Vida screws come in packs offering a mix of popular sizes for versatility, with features that make them resilient and reliable.
Designed to suit an assortment of materials – hardwood and MDF for instance – these screws do not require pre-drilling. The Pozi recess prevents camout and improves torque, and the double countersunk head decreases the likelihood of sheer and assists completion of countersinking.
Also, the screws’ low torque coating enhances insertion time, provides extra driving torque and protects from corrosion. It also has a 40 ° deep single thread that provides a secure fixing with high pull-out resistance and an easy-start slash.
Whatever your next project – be it commercial or DIY – these screws are the ideal solution, saving you time and money when selecting the right screw for a job.
