KORNICHE

‘ FIT FOR PURPOSE ’

As a multi-award-winning company at the disruptive forefront of glazing innovation for resellers and installers , Made for Trade has rapidly become the industry ’ s go-to for aluminium bi-fold doors and roof lanterns ; marketed under the influential Korniche brand .
Seven years on , that brand is now requested by name alone from consumers and homeowners , but what is it that sets the product line apart ? As the company looks ahead to meeting customers old and new , here are four reasons to come along and find out more at FIT 2023 :
Engineering and Product Design
Made For Trade ’ s multi award-winning Korniche brand was founded with
the idea to bring inspirational products to market via the use of innovative design and precision engineering not seen before in fenestration .
Created as completely bespoke systems from a clean sheet , the MFT engineering team design products founded on the three core principles of Precision , Simplicity and Beauty to offer uncompromised class-leading glazing . The combination of new technology and engineering experience means slim , industry-leading
sightlines for the consumer thanks to low-profile extrusions , along with with robust long-lasting functionality and security .
Since 2016 , the Korniche Roof Lantern was not only catapulted straight to the top of the desirability stakes at launch , but its game-changing engineering – backed up by experience derived from the motorsport and automotive sectors – means that this Korniche product still remains a forerunner in terms of construction .
The award-winning bi-folding door followed , underlined by the same principles and whilst other products may appear to offer some similar benefits , it is also the beauty of the design you can ’ t see that identifies Korniche and Made For Trade ’ s unique approach .
Korniche lanterns , for example , use a selection of aluminium components such as end caps and ridge bosses that have been uniquely die cast to suit , enabling greater accuracy and tighter
tolerances to be achieved to the benefit of the structure . Meticulously engineered to be the strongest and stiffest on the market , the lantern supports industry-leading maximum glass sizes without the need for additional rafters , and the smart design details mean that glazing the structure is free of tapes and messy sealants , whilst Korniche Bi-Folding doors feature a similar raft of benefits .
