CUTTING EDGE FLOURISHING
UNDER DECEUNINCK

Cutting Edge UPVC is flourishing after
changing over to Deceuninck’s Heritage
2800 system - with nine foil finishes now
available from stock, and the introduction
of its Traditional 2500 chamfered suite.

The fabricator has undergone a
transformation over the last 18 months
with the move to a new factory and the
appointment of key senior staff, all stimulating
growth. The decision to introduce Deceuninck
as their sole systems supplier earlier this year
has also been one for the longer-term.
With colour a key trend in the UK
market, Cutting Edge has responded with
Deceuninck’s impressive ‘Colour Express’
range of nine stock foil finishes, including
matching trims available to help installers
deliver a premium finish. The range includes

nine of the most popular foils including Irish
Oak, Anthracite Grey, Chartwell Green and
the latest Nut Tree (Mocha) woodgrain, each
backed by a 10 year warranty.
The introduced Traditional 2500
chamfered suite offers customers the option
of a contemporary chamfered finish, as an
alternative to the existing decorative finish
of the 2800 system – each designed to offer
impressive levels of energy efficiency with
either double or triple glazing.

a demand the company also offer
an internally beaded option, but it’s
the externally beaded sash that is of
most interest to the company.

to change suppliers after 22 years,
