WINDOWCARE WINS SALES WITH INNOLUX
Installer Windowcare North West has become the latest firm to begin offering Innolux,
the range of windows and doors from trade fabricator Warwick North West.
»»THE RANGE CONSISTS OF
PVCu casement windows based
on the new Modus profile
from Eurocell, vertical sliders
manufactured with the Eurocell
Charisma system and bi-folding
doors based on the Eurocell Aspect
system. Casement windows are
available in three sash options:
standard, slim-rebate and flush,
which mimics the proportions of a
19th century timber window.
“As everyone in the industry
knows, the biggest growth
opportunities now are at the
higher end of the market,”
commented Windowcare founder
Gordon Galley.
“We wanted a product range
that would help us capitalise
on that – and for us, Innolux

stood head and shoulders above
the competition. Traditionally,
what more affluent consumers
haven’t liked about PVCu
is its appearance – but with

Innolux, we can provide them
with a PVCu product that, as
far as the average passer-by is
concerned, could well be timber
or aluminium.

“We also know that, in the
21st century, the market loves
different colours and other
options for customisation. This
is something else that Innolux
can offer.”
Warwick recently designed an
Innolux advert that Windowcare
used in its local press, and
the company has since won a
number of sales from this. “The
advert focussed on the flush
sash casement window and
we had several enquiries from
consumers wanting to replace
their draughty old timber
window with a more energy
efficient solution,” Gordon
added.

SILENT, SMART ROLLER BLIND MOTOR
Origin, leading UK manufacturer of bi-folding doors,
windows and blinds, has secured an exclusive partnership
with Lutron to provide a new motor on all Origin
Electronic Roller Blinds, for a silent and smart operation.
»»ORIGIN IS ONE OF ONLY
six UK companies to offer
this motor on its system, and
is the only bi-folding door
manufacturer to include this
technology for blinds designed
specifically for bi-folding
doors.
The advanced technology of
the motor means that Origin’s
popular blinds range can now be
controlled and operated using a
tablet, smartphone or connected
to a home automated system.
This can then be programmed
to open and close at different
times, for additional security and
to reduce heat loss throughout

the home. The motor also runs
on a sophisticated electronic
drive system for near silent
operation.
Manufactured in the UK, the
Origin Electric Roller Blinds
are sleek and contemporary in
design, with lightweight panels
that do not overlap. Each blind is
tailor-made, enabling control of
light and heat.
The Origin blinds can be
specified either with or without
a fascia. For those that choose a
fascia, this can be ordered in any
colour to match the style of the
room, bi-fold door or window.
The electric roller blinds can

also be installed in two different
ways, either top or face mounted.
This allows the blinds to be
installed either inside or outside
the recess. Depending on the
stage of construction, the blind
can also be completely hidden
in the reveal, giving the illusion
that the blinds descend from the
ceiling.
With a 10-year guarantee,
including the Lutron motor
and parts, the Origin Electric
Roller Blinds are available in an
extensive range of colour options,
patterns and textures, ensuring
there is a style to suit any home
or property.

In addition to its electric roller
blind, Origin has introduced
a new pleated blind. This is
designed to fit neatly to the
beading of a bi-fold door or
window, for a minimalist look
with maximum light and heat
control. Available in eight colour
options, the pleated blinds come
with a five year guarantee from
Origin and do not use hanging
cords, making them aesthetically
pleasing and completely child
safe.
