APRIL 2017 | 29 News Read online at www.proinstaller.co.uk CONSERVATORY SECURITY SELLS Conservatory Outlet - one of the top 2% of fabricators in the UK by volume - has broadened its product remit, presenting the Extreme 3 window locking system to its UK-wide network. homeowners ‘ are becoming The Extreme 3 system is designed to prevent attack in any direction, with the heavy duty re- inforced bolts securely locked into the frame, creating, says the company, 300% more con- tact area than any other shoot bolt on the market. The design essentially replicates the security properties of a Vaultbolt door locking system for use within a window. The patented Conservatory Outlet system also incorporates Ecoseal, which allows designers the freedom to use larger ‘push out’ casements that will comfortably sit on a 450mm dwarf wall without the need for top openers. The system works to tightly pull in the sash against the frame, creating superb compression that can withstand forcible attacks at any point around the whole unit. This is a proactive move for Conservatory Outlet to develop solutions that enhance home secu- rity, as homeowners are becoming increasingly savvy in seeking out products that offer maximum protection against break-ins. This selling point has proven a real hit with the Conservatory Outlet Network, and 20 of its retail part- increasingly savvy in seeking out products that offer maximum protection ’ ners have already opened their doors to the product, offering it to homeowners within their exclu- sive trading patches located across the country.

NEW FACTORY MEETS GROWTH NEEDS The PatioMaster brand continues to go from strength to strength with one of its key fabricators opening the doors to an impressive new factory. PatioMaster South East, based in New Romney, Kent, recently moved to the purpose-built premises after construction was completed at the end of December. After a smooth transition the new offices and factory floor were already up and running in January. “The move was all about giving us room to increase the scale of our manufactur- ing process. As the company has continued to flourish, we simply outgrew our last premises and made the move as part of our greater plans for growth and expan- sion,” director Simon Spiers explained. “At 4,500 sq ft the cus- tom-built factory is more than twice the size of the previous site. With a much larger and more modern space we have been able to create an improved work- ing environment for all our staff, helping them to better help our customers. We’re still situated to reach all of our existing customers but are now more equipped to meet their ever-growing requirements.” www.patiomaster.co.uk The original Lethal Weapon franchise comprised four feature films and was a huge hit on the silver screen movie from 1987 to 1998 with the first film grossing $120 million at the box office. The film focussed on two mismatched detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department played by Holly- wood big shots, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. In 2016, some 18 years after the success of the film franchise, FOX TV pre- miered a spin-off television series of the same name. After receiving a great reception in America, ITV purchased the series. It first aired in the UK on Friday 3rd March at 9pm. Checkatrade said it was a prime opportunity for it to capture the attention of an estimated audience of 24.4 million. www.checkatrade.com
