Glazerite Gains Another First With Veka Bi-Fold Debut Glazerite Windows Ltd is once again at the forefront of product innovation and is delighted to offer its installers the new VEKA Imagine bi-fold door. The trade fabricator showcased this new product to the industry on its stand at the FIT Show. The Imagine bi-fold is being launched in response to industry forecasts that PVC-U bi-folds will account for over a quarter of the patio/sliding doors market – and over a half by value – by 2016. It is also hailed as the first product to come out under the VEKA UK Group banner and will be backed by an extensive marketing programme from the system supplier. Glazerite Director, Jason Thompson said: “We were already fully aware of the growth and further potential for bi-folds so when we saw the VEKA product, we knew it was a winner. This is a completely bespoke new system, with every profile made specifically for this product and in our view it is the best available today. It has already achieved Secured By Design status and Glazerite is currently one of only three UK fabricators to hold this much sought-after accreditation on bi-folding doors. Imagine is available in fully sculptured or bevelled, with up to seven sashes on a maximum 14 configurations, opening inside or out. It is also the only bi-folding door system to offer all three threshold variations: standard, Part M (wheelchair) compliant or ultra low as in internal room divider. It was also developed in association with lock manufacturer ERA and comes with a five-star security guarantee including 24/7 help, up to £1,000 excess back-up on home insurance, up to £1,0
