DOORS & WINDOWS

SHOWROOM SPACE DOUBLED

»»
IT ’ S BEEN A TRANSFORMATIVE twelve months for Dekko Window Systems . Opening a cutting-edge new production facility , launching its rapturously-received high-end door brand Räum , and following that up with the ground-breaking Infinity range of graf welded PVCu has left it with a lot to shout about – and now , the Ashton- Under-Lyne fabricator has invested in a new showroom to exhibit its significantly expanded product portfolio .
The new development has allowed Dekko to overhaul the way it showcases its products . The newly built facility will be used to introduce customers to Infinity – displaying the bespoke selection of graf welded windows and doors in an environment where visitors can physically see the difference between their seamless welds and industry-standard corner joins , as well as the extensive range of colours and finishes Infinity frames are available in . This will allow Dekko ’ s pre-existing showroom to be used to showcase the rest of the products in its comprehensive product range .
“ We ’ ve experienced incredible growth over the past few years and really diversified our product range , and so the time was right for us to create extra space to show it off ,” commented Kurt Greatrex , Dekko Sales Director .

TESTING & CERTIFICATION READY TO WHIP UP A STORM

»»
INDEPENDENT UKAS ACCREDITED testing laboratory and certification body , Wintech Testing & Certification , is pleased to announce a further investment back into the business with the refurbishment of a key tool when it comes to testing – its aircraft engine .
The Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp ( R- 2800 ) aircraft engine , in situ at Wintech ’ s UKAS accredited laboratory in Telford , was modified to create the type of extreme winds that customers ’ products have to resist during the testing process and its upkeep is essential , as Technical Director , Mike Wass , explains : “ It is a vital piece of equipment in the testing process for us and investment in its maintenance is crucial . We recently sent it for a general MOT and refurbishment in order to ensure that it continues to perform in the way it is supposed to on behalf of our customers .
“ An aircraft engine MOT is a significant investment . But , with new customers joining us all the time and new business generated by
the recent launch of our WinMark Enhanced Security Certification schemes , not only does investment in our equipment keep us ahead of demand , but the growth we have experienced allows us to put back into the business in order to future proof it .”
