FIT SHOW 2016 A DUO LAUNCH FOR LEADING FABRICATOR »»Polyframe’s attendance at this year’s FIT saw the launch of Yale’s Smart Living system being added to its portfolio of existing products along with windows and doors manufactured using Eurocell’s Logik 70 chamfered and sculptured profile. The award winning, independent manufacturer and supplier of PVCu trade windows, doors and conservatories demonstrated how the convenient and easy to use Smart Living system can offer consumers a key-free secure solution when entering their homes. The smart lock was brought together on the stand fitted to a PVCu residential door and Polyframe’s representative demonstrated to visitors how; the Secure by Design lock can be opened by using a keypad control which can be set to give access to family members even if there is no one at home, uses optional key fob or a Smartphone to gain access, and how additional modules including Yale’s Smart Home Alarm and CCTV system can be added. Simon Locker marketing manager for Polyframe commented: “The new Smart Living system is a great addition to our range. The system is the next generation of locks for the market and it gives our customers the chance to enhance their offer to homeowners. “We wanted to use the show to meet with new and existing customers, and it’s been a great opportunity for us to demonstrated the benefits of the Yale Smart Living system and the new Eurocell Logik 70 windows and doors. “The system offers our customers a choice to give their customers a more aesthetic style of window in a choice of different colours, including duo’s black/white and Anthracite grey/ white. “We have thoroughly enjoyed this year’s show, the best ever so far and looking forward to FIT 2017 at the NEC.” Simon adds. www.polyframe.co.uk THE MASTER PIECE OF ALL MASTER PIECES AT FIT »»Creating the ultimate masterpieces is what the UK leading trade fabricator Camden Group set about doing at this year’s FIT Show. Displaying a compilation of exquisite pieces from its Inliten window range, alongside an assortment of resident and composite doors, Camden demonstrated how with a little creative thinking installers could create their own style, design or colour. Camden produces a range of window and door variations from scratch; with all aspects of production from extrusion to frame and glass production managed in-house to create its eco-friendly Inliten window system. An extensive glass processing plant at its site in Antrim also allows Camden to reduce carbon footprint and produce its own glass sealed units for use in its windows, doors, bi-fold and sash windows. Andrew McAteer, group marketing manager commented about exhibiting at the show: “Our aim at this year’s FIT Show was to not only demonstrate the company’s capabilities and continual drive for innovation, but to get people to think outside the box a little and not be tied to normal conventions. “Windows don’t have to be rectangular; they don’t have to be white or a wood-grain. Especially on our composite doors, we are seeing more and more colourful ‘creations’ and even on windows we are seeing a big increase in RAL spray-painted colours. “Over the past couple of years, Camden has opened nine trade counters across the UK, supported by dedicated sales and customer service teams in each branch. With such broad coverage, the FIT Show was a perfect opportunity for us to showcase our capabilities and products to friends old and new.” Andrew added. The art pieces which were a feature of the stand, made up of a collection of brightly coloured windows, attracting visitors entering and exiting Hall 3 at the show on to the Camden stand, with many coming on to the stand to take selfies with the artwork in the background. “The stand attracted a lot of attention and, all in all the show has been very beneficial for us in terms of lead generation and extending our profile to the market.” Andrew concluded. www.camden.co.uk MAY 2 0 1 6 5 5
