32 AUGUST 2014 PRO INSTALLER PRO NEWS www.proinstaller.co.uk Meet your Approved Installer Team Lucky for Some! Polyframe opens 13th trade centre in Hull Halifax-based trade window and door fabricator, Polyframe, recently opened a new Trade Centre in Hull to enhance further the service levels offered to East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. Polyframe Hull began trading in June and is the latest addition to the Polyframe Trade Centre Group which has branches throughout the UK and Southern Ireland. Peter Dyson, Polyframe Sales Director states, “The ethos behind the Trade Centres is to offer the window installer a complete product package and a true local point of contact. Additionally, it enables Polyframe to supply our extensive product portfolio to smaller installers who in the past we have not been able to supply due to transport logistics. We now supply the Hull branch three times a week with fully-loaded articulated vehicles, with products then delivered throughout the area on smaller, more cost-effective vans. This enables us to be more cost-effective and also adds to our green credentials”. The opening of Polyframe Hull will enable the business to expand its operation in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire but also guarantee the same high levels of service experienced by all customers. All the services currently offered to Polyframe customers will be available from Polyframe Hull, such as the Clearly Greener Recycling scheme which saves money on skip costs and stops post consumer PVCu frames being deposited in land fill sites. Additionally Polyframe Hull will be able to offer up to 11 colour options on a 5/6 day turnaround, including the Polyframe ‘Express Range’ of White Woodgrain, Cream, Irish Oak and Black on White. With four profiles available in the Halo and Rehau systems, two decorative and two chamfered, Polyframe can give customers the choice that they require. Polyframe Hull can also supply either glazed or unglazed product. Other products available include the Solis Modular Conservatory range, Aluminium products and sprayed PVCu in any RAL colour, and the life saving Fire Escape Ladder. The Solis range is a unique modular pre designed conservatory system that is available in five styles, four sizes in each and five colour options. All frames are supplied fully glazed which enables the conservatory to be complete in one day. All Solis Conservatories are supplied with glazed frames with two openers, French doors, 150mm cill, roof with polycarbonate or glass, guttering and rainwater pipes, all wall fixings, silicones and screws. A full set of working drawings including flashing details is also included which enables the flashing details to be cut before the conservatory is erected. Polyframe are innovators in the industry and as new products are launched these will also be readily available through Polyframe Hull. The VEKA UK Group doesn’t do anything by halves, so when the industry-leading system supplier recently established its Approved Installer scheme for VEKA and Halo customers, significant investment was made in promoting the initiative and making sure it offered installers real benefits. ‘The VEKA UK Group doesn’t do anything by halves’ Four brand new, full-time positions solely dedicated to Approved Installers have been made.
