46 APRIL 2016 PRO INSTALLER FIT SHOW 2016 MARKETING HUB A HIGHLIGHT AT GLAZERITE STAND FABRICATORS NEED MORE THAN A GOOD PRODUCT The Glazerite UK Group is well established as the largest UK fabricator of VEKA products - and that position is extended with the addition of Halo Rustique and System 10 windows and doors. »»VEKA’s Fully Sculptured and the Matrix 70 bevelled frames will be offered alongside the Halo equivalents while the Warmcore window has also been added to the Glazerite portfolio. These additions mean, says Glazerite, that its product offering is one of the UK’s most comprehensive. In its composite door range, the existing DoorCo and Solidor ranges have been enhanced by two additions. These are the top end door from Palladio, which offers something distinctive and exceptional with its Monocoque core, and the Storm/Flood door. This is an aesthetically pleasing product that also offers superb performance under exceptional circumstances. The MACO 15 point lock for full perimeter locking provides a secure and completely watertight door solution. Visitors can also see Glazerite products on the stands of its supply partners who are exhibiting at The FIT Show. However, the only place they can see the Customer Support and Marketing Hub is on the group’s own stand.

Glazerite programme addresses elements not offered in other ‘support’ packages, including technical, human resources and health and safety.

The recent acquisition of Citybeads Ltd in Peterborough has allowed Glazerite to expand its product range whilst maintaining fast and efficient lead times. www.glazeritewindows.co.uk So testing and certification of the products they use is just as important as good design and manufacture, according to the business IFC Certification. Fabricators and installers need to demonstrate that products are fit for purpose and meet the needs of the homeowner. The best evidence comes from testing and certification from a third party, namely a reputable UKAS accredited company. Once products are supplied they need to be installed correctly, as poor installations can reflect badly on both the product and the company. The design and manufacture is down to the fabricator. However, testing and certification can be undertaken by experts from a UKAS accredited body such as IFC Certification. For more information, join IFC Certification at the FIT Show on stand AT50.
