Company
background:
SIG Windows was one of
the new brands to emerge
from the major rebrand and
restructure introduced by
SIG UK Exteriors, formerly
SIG Roofing & Roofline.
Alongside several other
brands, SIG Windows now
forms part of the new SIG
Building Plastics division
that has been established to
target the windows, roofline, drainage and sheet materials sectors. The company
incorporates Window Fitters
Mate (WFM) - one of the
leading independent suppliers of fabricated windows,
doors and conservatories in
the UK.
Commenting on the formation of SIG Windows,
Operations Manager at SIG
Windows, Steve Jones said:
“We currently provide the
largest range of fabricated
windows in the UK, marrying classic British design
with cutting-edge technology. By creating a dedicated
brand for this market sector
that is instantly recognisable
and understandable, and
one that bears all hallmarks
of SIG’s enviable reputation,
we are confident that we
can add even greater value
to our customer proposition.”
Location:
Currently, WFM’s brand
identity sits alongside the
flagship SIG Windows logo
across all 24 WFM branches
throughout the UK. This is
for a transitional period in
order to ease the rebrand
process and to demonstrate
on going loyalty to WFM
customers. Expansion plans
are already underway, with
a further nine new locations
to open.
Company Ethos:
Current promotions:
The company’s mantra is
to deliver on all of its promises, meaning contractors
can always be sure of quality and excellence. To this
end, the company recently
launched a QC scheme
that provides strict quality
assurance for its expansive range of windows and
doors, in order to ensure
that the glass and frame are
in perfect condition prior to
dispatch.
Before dispatch, every
SIG Windows’ branch must
follow a detailed checklist
in order to ensure that the
windows and doors are in
top quality and condition,
and more importantly, that
they meet the customer’s
order specifications.
Steve Jones comments:
“The QC scheme confirms
our commitment to quality and to our customers.
Working with a number
of leading and reputable
manufacturers enables us
to provide a range of high
quality products.”
“This scheme provides the
contractor with a true ‘fit
and forget’ solution, and ensures that projects suffer no
delays, no loss of business
or profit, and no potential
embarrassment or damage
to reputation,” adds Steve.
Composite doors are increasingly in demand due to
their thermal foam core and
improved security. Research
shows that they provide
the best insulation, thereby
maximizing energy efficiency, and the Secured by Design feature can potentially
reduce burglary by 50% and
criminal damage by 25%. To
help further stimulate sales,
SIG Windows is currently
offering composite doors
from as little as £315 +
VAT.
Accreditations
and Awards:
SIG Windows is approved
by BFRC - the premier UK
authority for independently
verified ratings of energy efficient windows and energy
efficient doors. The company also holds a WER License
for its products.
SIG Windows’ passion for
windows, doors and conservatories is unrivalled, as
Steve Jones concludes: “Our
mission is to be able to cover every customer’s needs.
We understand that time is
money, and that’s why we
meet all installation needs
from our chain of ‘One Stop
Shops’.”
