Masco UK WG selects
Link-Vent from Glazpart
Banbury-based Glazpart, is a specialist injection moulding company
producing millions of mouldings each
month.
Masco UK window group Ltd has selected
the Link-Vent product range as its standard
trickle vent for future window background
ventilation. Glazpart launched this product
at the FIT SHOW 2013. Masco UK Window
Group Ltd is the first major UK fabricator to
integrate the products into its system from
Duraflex which significantly reduces the part
numbers used on its volume production.
The Link-Vent 2500 allows group fabricators to standardise on one 204mm x 13
mm rout detail and replace the traditional 2000mm2 AND 4000mm2 (free area)
products, with one 236.5 mm ventilator
delivering 2500 EQA, a similar performance
to 4000mm2 vents but with a similar length
of a 2000mm2 vents. Smaller windows for
non-habitable rooms can also now be compliant to building regulations, as 2500 EQA
can now be delivered even through the sash
of, for example, a typical downstairs toilet
window.
Roadshows
strengthen links
Staff within Jewson branches across the
south of England and Wales are now better
equipped to provide their customers with
access to the wide range of glass products
and services from Glassolutions, thanks
to a series of recent roadshow events.
The five roadshows were organised to help Jewson staff
improve their knowledge
of sister company Glassolutions, so their building
industry customers can buy
more of what they need
from within the Saint-Gobain
group.
Strengthening the links between
the two companies, more than 250
members of staff from Jewson attended the roadshows, with many
immediately identifying ways
in which they could help their
regular customers with their glass
requirements.
Stephen Huntly, regional general
manager for Glassolutions in the
South, was involved in delivering
the roadshows. He said: “By bringing Jewson and Glassolutions closer together, we have taken another
important step along the road to
making it easier for customers to
do business with Saint-Gobain.
The group is large and diverse,
so it is important that staff within
the different businesses know as
much as possible about each other
– that’s where these roadshows
have proved extremely useful.”
