Sunbell, Italy’s leading
designer and manufacturer
of integral blinds has introduced a new 20mm cavity
solution for glazed units
designed exclusively for the
UK market.
Insight Data, the market research and data specialists,
have revealed the UK’s Top
30 PVCu fabricators with a
combined turnover of almost
£1billion.
Insight Data Managing Director,
Andrew Scott, said; “This really
shows the scale and dynamics
of our industry, when just 30 of
the industry’s 15,000 companies
have a combined turnover of £971
million.”
The Top 30 Fabricators increased
turnover by a whopping £55million in 2014 compared to the
previous year, even after a £47m
reduction in turnover by Everest
following internal restructure and
realignment.
Entry level to the Billionaires
Club was £10.9m turnover in 2013.
In 2014 it rose to £12.3m, an increase of 12%.
“Some companies have made
the Insight Billionaire Club for
the first time, such as Conserv-
atory Outlet, while others have
seen spectacular growth in the
last year. It is worth noting that a
number of high growth fabricators
are sitting just outside the Top 30
ready to challenge in 2015,” added
Andrew.
According to Insight Data, the
Top 30 list reflects a significant
financial improvement in the
fenestration industry and points to
continued growth in this sector.

The new 20mm spacer bar
available in natural silver or black
allows blinds to be successfully
installed into traditional 28mm
glazed units.

moisture, integral blinds offer

in the winter.

solution, easily installed with no
hardwiring, rechargeable by a
mains connection with optional
external solar panel and controllable by remote activation.
Blinds are available to order
