Unique new hardware offer unveiled
Emplas, has unveiled its exclusive new
window hardware range developed and

This includes a heavy sprung latching block
for a positive ‘click’ on closing plus solid zinc
baseplate for added security.
The window handle range has also been
designed to increase ease of use including
an ergonomic design, which features a
longer handle for greater leverage and easier,
smoother, operation.
Available in a range of six colours: white;
gold; chrome; satin and polished bronze and
black; the offer also comes with a 10-year
guarantee.
Mike Crewdson, Sales and Marketing
Director, Emplas, said: “It can be very difficult
to identify real, meaningful unique selling
points. We pride ourselves on the quality
of manufacture and the range we offer,
something which is a very real benefit to our
customers.
“Our new and exclusive handle range is
manufactured to the highest standards but
because it simply isn’t available anywhere
else, it gives Emplas installers a new point of
differentiation.”

NEW PATIO DOOR LOW THRESHOLD
SAVES TIME AND BOOSTS PROFITS
Hardware specialist, MI Products, has
introduced a completely new patio door low
threshold with a modern, ergonomic and
efficient design that satisfies the demanding
requirements of manufacturers, installers
and end-users alike.
Specially-engineered for fabricators to help
save time and improve profits, the uniquelydesigned patio sill is straight cut with no
routing or end milling required.
This innovative product exceeds industry
requirements for a secure, cost-effective
and user-friendly access sill that conforms
48
DEC 2013
to Part M Building Regulations and
BS6375:Part1:2009.
Adapting to most frames and door materials,
the sill is thermally-broken to meet thermal
bridging/insulation requirements and can be
easily replaced on site, if needed. An auxiliary
ramp is supplied for easy access, clipping easily
into position.
MI Products Director Ian Searle explained:
“New building regulations relating to Part
M have forced changes to traditional PVC-U
thresholds. While residential door thresholds
have moved forwards, the patio door one had
remained virtually unchanged – until now.
“The MI Products’ low patio door threshold
offers significant improvements over existing
products in terms of performance, aesthetics,
simple installation and ease of use.
Available in anodised silver and gold
finishes.
