With the company’s latest

reaping the rewards of unique
product kits available from
aluminium systems specialist.
As one of the only systems
company to provide windows and
doors in kit form, Sapa is able to
offer customers significant time
savings and reduced wastage in
comparison to products that are
supplied as bar length. A service
that Sapa has offered for more than

40 years, products are supplied in

and installation instructions and
an accessories pack.

‘unique to Sapa and
offer real benefits
to customers’
‘The process is very simple;
a customer fills in an order
form, then it is processed by the
customer service department. The
kits include pre-machined profiles
and give fabricators everything
they need to assemble the product
which means fabrication is less
time intensive,’ said Paul Strong,
Field Sales Director at Sapa
Building System.
‘Typically a door would take
around two hours to assemble
from a kit whereas you’d be
looking at between four and five
hours for the equivalent product

in bar length. All the preparation
is done in our warehouse on CNC
machines and processed through
Sapa Logic. This is a software
system our customers also have
access to which provides technical
product information to help with
the fabrication process.’
Kits are unique to Sapa and
offer real benefits to customers.
Products that are provided
in bar length tend to clog up
production flows whereas using
a pre-machined kit will speed up
fabrication, allowing more jobs to
be completed and having a direct
effect on customers’ bottom line.
‘We order a lot of kits from
Sapa and they work really well
for us,’ comments Brian Ellis,
company director at Howard
Yarnold. ‘We find they also help
us reduce waste and give more
flexibility when it comes to the
huge number of different colours
that are now available. Using bar

length wouldn’t be a problem if
there were only limited colours
available as waste could be kept to
a minimum. The kits are a much
more cost effective way for us to
offer a wide range of colours.’
Sapa products that are available
as kits include all Dualframe
doors, Crown sliding folding
door, Crown 98 and Crown 120
doors and all horizontal and
vertical sliding windows.

‘much more
cost effective’
