50 APRIL 2016 PRO INSTALLER PRO PRODUCTS www.proinstaller.co.uk Total Glass new doors in ten modern styles Total Glass has launched its new ‘Designer Doors’ range of GRP composite doors featuring ten fresh contemporary styles, plus a wide range of both standard and specialist colours that further increase the appeal of what the Liverpool-based fabricator can offer on composite doors. QUALITY KNEE PROTECTION If you work a lot on your knees, Snickers’ range of kneepads will deliver cutting edge protection. Whether you’re a craftsman or woman in tough working environments, floor laying or you just need all-round knee protection, there’s a kneepad in the Snickers range to suit the job you’re doing. They’re all ergonomically designed to suit a wide range of on-site working environments and will mould around your knees for maximum comfort on rough, damp ground and help ward off niggly knee problems and long term injuries. Every kneepad in the range is comfortable and efficiently designed to fit the unique KneeGuard™ Positioning System on every pair of Snickers WorkTrous ers, so you can pick and choose whatever you need for the job in hand. So, if you’re on and off your knees a lot each day or just need all round protection, Snickers Kneepads will help you work safely and in comfort wherever you are. For more information on the Snickers range of Kneepads call the Helpline on 01484 854788, visit www.snickersworkwear. co.uk and download a digital catalogue, or email info@snickersworkwear. co.uk Significant investment has also been made in more machinery and equipment to increase production capacity at the company’s dedicated in-house composite door manufacturing facility. Introduced in response to consistent customer feedback, the new range complements the existing Total Glass ‘Castle Collection’ of GRP composite doors. This greatly expanded selection has been warmly welcomed by customers, according to Phill Cresswell, Sales and Marketing Manager. “It’s fair to say that our customers were ‘chomping at the bit’ to get their hands on these new doors,” he says. “We have added 13 different glazing panel designs, covering everything from the traditional to the contemporary, while some designs come in a choice of colours designed to complement the door colours and create a stylish matching finish. “The flexibility that in-house manufacturing affords us means that we can offer a huge choice so there is a door to suit all tastes and budgets. Stocking and routing our own slabs means we can offer a really fast service so customers are not kept waiting and doors are delivered when they need them.” Hardware for the ‘Designer Doors’ reflects their modern look and feel with long pull-bar handles and a choice of ‘escutcheon-style’ modern locking systems. An attractive Antique black ‘hammered-effect’ range ideal for traditional cottage door styles is offered, along with handles in a stainless steel finish suitable for modern properties. New retail brochures accompany the range and, as with the Castle Collection, there’s a similar simple competitive pricing structure, so the salesperson can readily complete the sale on the day. Investment includes a Schelling Beam Saw for precision-cutting of the door slabs and manual handling and lifting equipment for more efficient movement of the slabs between the prepping procedures. Both are increasing efficiency and improving Total’s composite door turnaround times for the benefit of customers. Prior to despatch, the doors are given complete protection against possible damage using the Door Wrapper. Fully encased in clear film, the doors arrive with customers in pristine condition and ready to install. Phill adds: “Composite doors are a very popular home improvement product. With the addition of our ‘Designer Doors’ range, we can offer even more choice that helps our customers meet the demands of this ever-growing market.” For more information, contact Total Glass on 0151 549 2339 or visit the website at www.totalglass.com New security products from IronmongeryDirect IronmongeryDirect has boosted its security range with two new products. The first is a new door jammer, an innovative security aid that can be used to jam a door shut from the inside. It’s easy to fit to most doors and easy to release quickly in an emergency. The one-off product is ideal as a temporary security measure if a lock can’t be secured by a locksmith, or even as just an additional security measure. The second product is a door restrictor, a great way to add some extra security to a door by stopping anyone from being able to force their way in. It’s really simple to fit and use and is ideal for elderly people or those who have children in the house. It has been designed for use with multipoint locks and handles on PVCu and composite doors and frames. To view the products, please visit: www. ironmongerydirect
