DOORS&WINDOWS SECOND TO NONE SERVICE »»NATIONAL PLASTICS IS THE UK’S largest independent trade counter network and when you visit one of the stores it’s easy to see why. Quite simply, the overall experience is second to none. This is a view shared by long-standing National Plastics customer, Turner Windows of Somerton Ltd. For circa 19 years Turner Windows has been a regular customer of National Plastics and owner, Craig Turner, is very clear why. He said, “The service we get from National Plastics is superb. From the stock availability, staff knowledge and reliable service, they work with us and keep us informed at every stage. Even if there is a problem, which is rare, they find a solution quickly and efficiently.” Turner Windows uses the Weston-SuperMare store and has built a very strong relationship with the team. Craig says, “Our day to day contact with Richard Bishop, who runs the Weston store, is excellent. He understands our business needs and knows the importance of holding a vast stock level and delivering on time to us. Their staff knowledge makes life so much easier and if Richard cannot help, we have the direct number to Managing Director, Geoff Foster.” www.nationalplastics.co.uk TWO NEW DOOR DESIGNS »»ENDURANCE® DOORS HAS introduced two new door designs, the Cader Idris and the Pentland, which were developed before the FIT Show, as the solid and secure composite door brand continues to build market share. Forming part of its Classic Collection, these two new additions take inspiration from typical 1930s-style doors, with the Cader Idris featuring an arched top light and the Pentland a rectangular top light with Georgian bars. Adding to this period inspired design is the preferred option of a Winkhaus AV2 heritage lock, which is opened from the outside by key and internally by thumb turn, the door locking as soon as it is closed. With the recent introduction of foiled rich red, racing green and French navy PVCu door frames, there’s further opportunity to build a composite door specification that’s steeped in period inspired design, yet with modern day functionality. Stephen Nadin, Managing Director of Endurance® Doors, commented: “These two new door designs are an important addition to our product range. Over the last 18 months the investment in marketing and product development has been considerable and we’re now experiencing unprecedented growth for our solid and secure timber composite doors.” www.endurancedoors.co.uk STOCK COLOUR RANGE EXPANDED »»TRUFRAME HAS expanded the number of foiled finishes from stock on 5 and 7-day lead times, as they look to capitalise on the shift in consumer demand to the new rich woodgrains and striking colour options.
