SPIKE IN NEW
PROFILE
INTEREST
Following its recent switch
to the Profile 22 Optima
system, Epwin Group
customer BBH Ltd has
reported great interest in
the new system and one
of its busiest years yet.
»»DIRECTOR GRAHAM NORMAN
explains: “We have been with Epwin and
Profile 22 for many years now, and looked
forward to fabricating the new Optima range.
As we all know, technology doesn’t stand still
and the industry continues to evolve and drive
forward with the latest advances.
“So far it has been really well received,
by both customers that have had Optima
installed and also by potential customers that
have seen our samples. The new design of the
sculptured frame is a lot more modern and
the 70mm depth lends a sleeker, stronger, slim
line look.
“The transition to fabricating the Optima
system has also been a smooth process, and
our shop floor operators and fitters are really
happy with the system too.”
Hailed as the biggest launch in the window
industry for a decade, Profile 22 revealed
Optima earlier this year. A fully-integrated,
70mm-depth system, it is easy to install and
suitable fo r a wide range of projects.

Perfect
Match
»»SOUTH STAFFS WINDOWS IS
having such success selling Residence 9
(R9) - the composite window system ideal
for conservation areas, listed buildings, and
period properties - that it’s started selling
Residence 7 (R7) too. The two systems are
part of the Residence Collection, the nextgeneration systems company.
R7 was launched at this year’s FIT Show.
From the inside, R7 is completely flush,
so it looks like a classically simple timber
window perfect for contemporary and
traditional homes. From the outside it’s
available with flush or storm sashes, just
like R9. Its thermal efficiency and weather
performance are excellent.
South Staffs sales and marketing director
Alex Keyes says: “Our business is built to
sell quality products so R9 was an obvious
choice, and it’s done very well for us. If we
compare selling windows to selling cars, we
were selling basic models and now, with R9,
we’re selling Aston Martins.
“R7 is the right system to sell alongside
R9,” Alex continues. “They look identical
from the outside depending which sash
option you choose. R7 offers a different
internal look to R9 because it is flush
rather than decorative. Add that to R7’s
narrower 75mm frame depth and they
make a perfect pairing.”
