SOLIDOR’S AWARDING
THEIR INSTALLERS
Solidor’s thirst for marketing
innovation continues with the
launch of their ‘Installer of the
Month’ campaign, to support
their nationwide network of
over 300 Recommended and
Premium Installers throughout
the UK.
The ‘Installer of the Month’
campaign has already begun with
West Yorkshire based Premium
Installer, Aire Valley Glass’ taking
the award for the first month
of March 2014. The rules are
simple, the installer that sends in
the most images within a given
month will be named as that
months Solidor ‘Installer of the
Month.’
Given the number of pictures
of Solidor installations that
‘Aire Valley Glass’
taking the award
for the first month’
circulate in social media, this
latest marketing initiative was an
obvious decision. The winners
each month will be presented
with an official Solidor ‘Installer
of the Month’ logo for use in
online channels along with a
voucher for £100 at Screwfix, as
Aire Valley Glass have already
enjoyed.
Companies can submit images
through Facebook and Twitter,
or even e-mail steven@solidor.
co.uk, but they need to be of
installations carried out during
the same month.

GLAZERITE GETS EVEN
TOUGHER WITH THREE
MORE SBD LICENCES
Trade fabricator Glazerite Windows Ltd
has gained three new Secured By Design
certifications – for composite doors, French
doors and the new VEKA Imagine bi-folds
– to add to its existing portfolio of policeapproved product ranges.
The latest additions, among other things,
make Glazerite one of only three UK
fabricators who currently hold the soughtafter accreditation on bi-folds and one of the
very few VEKA fabricators to have both SBD
and Part M wheelchair access certification on
French doors.
Glazerite now holds SBD certification on its
casement, tilt/turn and VS windows and single
resi-doors as well as the three new categories.
All have been tested to PAS24: 2012 by a
certificated independent testing house. The
fabricator was also the first to supply the SBD
accredited Dynamic 2D hinge from SFS Intec
in all 15 colour variants for its VEKA door
range.
“Next on the list will be the new VEKA
Imagine patio door,” said Glazerite Director
Jason Thompson. The new range, launched at
the FIT Show, will now be submitted for SBD
testing and licensing.

GLAZERITE GAINS ANOTHER
FIRST WITH VEKA BI-FOLD DEBUT
Glazerite Windows Ltd is again at the forefront of product
innovation with the new VEKA Imagine bi-fold door.
The launch is in response to
industry forecasts that PVC-U
bi-folds will account for over
a quarter of the patio/sliding
doors market – and over a
half by value – by 2016.
It is also hailed as the first
product to come out under the
VEKA UK Group banner and
52
JUL 2014
will be backed by an extensive
marketing programme.
Glazerite Director, Jason
Thompson said: “We were
already fully aware of the
growth and further potential
for bi-folds so when we saw the
VEKA product, we knew it was
a winner.”
Imagine is available in
fully sculptured or bevelled,
with up to seven sashes on a
maximum 14 configurations,
opening inside or out. It
is also the only bi-folding
door system to offer all
three threshold variations:

with lock manufacturer ERA,
it comes with an impressive
five-star security guarantee.
