PROTECT YOUR EYES

Bringing safety , style and performance to the health and safety industry , Supertouch , the specialist in PPE and workwear solutions , has announced that it has joined forces with Pyramex , a provider of protective eyewear .

PICTURE- POSTCARD RENOVATION

Twelve Profile 22 windows were supplied by P22 customer FrameXpress for a picturesque Cotswolds cottage , in an area where specifiers demand sensitivity to the original appearance of many properties .
“ The homeowner ’ s brief was for a perfect visual match in relation to the style of all windows at the property , primarily to complement the area , which is recognised for its rolling hills and picture-postcard cottages ,” said sales manager Ian Davis . “ Requesting cream windows and doors that would match the surrounding properties , the homeowners needed a solid guarantee that the products could replicate the original heritage look , or we would have lost out on the contract .
“ One contributing factor to winning it was the inclusion of a 50mm plant-on bar to the glass , which was also possible to colour match . The complete project compromised 12 windows and two sets of French doors , all A rated for
excellent energy efficiency . Special mounted bars , cream foiling and advanced security features completed the windows , and due to a tight deadline , the windows were manufactured and installed quickly .”

With eight designs released into the portfolio , customers will have a much greater choice of lenses and frames - each designed to meet the specific needs of their working environment . Through a deep understanding of the key markets and applications , Supertouch aims to deliver a one-stopshop for high-quality protective workwear , with products that not only meet the safety standards , but look great too .
Ever-Lite
For many working within the sector , protective eyewear may be required for much of the day and therefore comfort is key . Weighing in at just 22gm , Ever-Lite is one of the lightest protective eyewear solutions on the market , and also presents the clearest panoramic view , without obstruction . In comparison , Trulock presents a patented temple structure locking the spectacle in place for increased comfort , whilst retaining the lightweight feature at just 21gm .
Itek
For those looking for a framefree spectacle , there is Itek – presenting a soft integrated nose piece and soft dual-injected rubber temple tips , the range is ideal for all-day wear , with non-slip technology for increased comfort . Available in clear and grey , the design meets the needs of a variety of applications .
The new range also features the PMXSLIM , offering a slim fit for smaller facial features and an adjustable PVC nose piece . Venture 3 on the other hand , benefits from a soft and adjustable nose piece and
ventilation across the top of the frame , as well as a 9.5 base curve for excellent side protection .
Discussing the new partnership , Stephen Beresford and strategic marketing manager at Supertouch said : “ We pride ourselves on supplying high quality protective workwear solutions for a broad range of market sectors and Pyramex is a perfect fit with our core values .
“ We understand that when it comes to safety , compliance is
key but style and comfort are also incredibly important . If a user feels comfortable in their workwear , they are more likely to wear it – protective eyewear and other safety equipment should never hinder a job , it is there to protect the worker and at times those around them . With Pyramex we can offer both style and substance – that ’ s a combination we believe will sell .”
