12 APRIL 2014 PRO INSTALLER PRO NEWS www.proinstaller.co.uk LINIAR OPEN DAYS WOW CUSTOMERS Systems house Liniar opened its doors to customers for two days in March to launch a range of new products and show off the revamped showroom at its Derbyshire HQ. THE GLASS HARDWARE & ACCESSORIES SPECIALIST Most readers will be familiar with the Zoom conservatory roof system, which Roger purchased in full last year. Now rebranded Liniar Zoom, the roof is available as a complete kit for Liniar custome rs. Perfectly colour matched with Liniar’s window and door range, the Liniar Zoom roof provides Liniar customers with a single point of guarantee for their entire conservatory installation. And brand new design features such as the innovative EnergyPlus rigid twin walled top cap and Liniar’s slide-on end caps mean the Liniar Zoom roof is not only more energy efficient, it’s extremely simple to fit. They’ve even provided a video to show just how simple – take a look at Liniar’s YouTube channel to watch it at http://bit.ly/LiniarRoofVideo. With a new box gutter assembly including a full suite of clip-in, sealant-free adaptors, the Liniar Zoom show roof drew much attention at the open days. As did the Liniar bi-folding door system. Liniar was the first company to launch a bespoke PVCu bi-fold range system in 2010, and they’ve now raised the bar even higher with their brand new ModLok™ version. Energy efficiency has also been key during development, as the door system utilises the Liniar EnergyPlus outer frame and sash and is also triple-glazing ready. For the first time, a PVCu bi-fold can offer consumers a real alternative to aluminium, being perfectly colour matched to the rest of the Liniar range. Installers also get additional support, with a new Liniar bi-fold installation video at http:// bit.ly/LiniarBiFoldVideo. The Liniar team updated customers on many other developments to the range and introduce the newest Liniar team member, ‘Mark II’ – Liniar’s cyclic testing robot who will enable Liniar to put their new products to the test before launch. Finally, Liniar revealed its new range of marketing support tools for fabricators and installers, including a full luxury consumer brochure, POS items, installation guides, videos and the online media centre. Photographs from the open days can be seen on Liniar’s Facebook page (LiniarUK) and the team can be contacted at www. liniar.co.uk or by calling 01332 883900. TWR BIFOLDS: a new dedicated bi-fold business A new bi-fold dedicated company is up and running to help installers win profitable new bi-fold business across the UK. See us at the FIT SHOW Stand 146 Call FREE from the UK and Ireland on 00 800 0421 6144 Email: [email protected] TWR Trade Frames has launched TWR Bifolds, which will focus solely on supplying installers with bi-folding doors and information related to the product. TWR MD Terry Richardson comments: “The bi-folding door market remains a lucrative opportunity for installers and we wanted to use our 14 years of experience and bi-folding door expertise to provide a go-to resource for this product. “Aluminium bi-folding doors are a specialist product for us and over the years we have invested in a new bifold production line, a survey supply and support service and in 2012 opened our own powder coating facility, allowing us to colour bi-fold door sets 30% quicker than most fabricators.” To support the launch, a new fully-responsive and mobile-optimised website has gone live, and a series of videos will be uploaded to the website. TWR Bifolds has brought in a new National Sales Co-ordinator, Tracey Ogden, who will head up TWR Bifolds, administer sales enquiries and provide technical product support to customers.
