Carl F Groupco’s new
racking accommodating
200 door bolt options.
Investment in new despatch
facilities at Carl F Groupco
supports the hardware supplier’s
commitment to service. The
established distributor has
accommodated more than200
door bolt options in new
racking that doubles the size
of its locking product storage
capability and enhances
selection.
The services of Link51, a leading
storage solution company, were
used to design racking specifically
to meet Carl F Groupco’s needs
– this included the challenge of
many lock systems exceeding two
metres.
The special racking
commissioned by Carl F Groupco
resulted from a comprehensive
site-survey and design: the result
was a solution that covers the
same footprint as the previous
storage system but extends to
eight metres in height to cater for
the company’s extensive product
range.
Investment is set to continue
in despatch services with robotic
pallet wrapping technology due to
be purchased which will increase
the speed of packing and cater
for the company’s wide range of
shipping requirements.

VBH Adds Glazpart Link-Vent to Range
VBH has added the Glazpart Link-Vent to its selection of ventilators.
Available in two sizes, 2500EQA and
5000EQA, the vent meets the requirements
of Building Regulations Approved
Document F1, and delivers similar
performance to that of much larger vents,
meaning more air throughput per mm.
The design of Link-Vent’s internal opening
flap allows the flap to be positioned to
reduce draughts by directing air away from
the occupants without reducing the air
flow.
Link-Vent is available in Screw fix or Clip
fix variants. Screw fix can be used on PVCu,
aluminium and timber windows, with the
rounded ends allowing it to be rebated into
timber frames if required. VBH advise that
Clip fix vents are a good option for PVCu
and aluminium windows, speeding up the
fitting process as no screws are required.
As well as the industry-standard white,
brown, tan and black colours, Link-Vent
can also be supplied in five printed or foiled
wood grain finishes and a host of colours
including Chartwell Green, Anthracite and
Slate Grey and Cream. Ther H\
