29 PRO INSTALLER SEPTEMBER 2013 PRO NEWS @proinstaller1 Any colour you want 7 day turnaround! Colour4you has just completed its record trading month painting frames, fascia and soffits, and window and door ancillaries. This may in part be down to the start of an upturn in the economy; the best summer weather in recent years has certainly helped, as people have taken stock of their homes whilst spending more time outside; but the primary reason according to Colour4You Managing Director John Wood, is a realisation in the trade that painting frames is still the only way to give customers the true flexibility they demand: “We all know that the PVCu extrusion market has had a real push in the last couple of years to offer a wider range of foiled options, smaller pack quantities, and on shorter lead times; that is a positive thing as far as we are concerned because more people are thinking about colour in general. We all know however that if you want a one stop shop, and real flexibility to meet your customers needs then the painted option remains by some way the best choice. “We can guarantee to provide any colour on a 7 day turnaround, grained finish or smooth, and to supply all the ancillaries including fascias and soffits from stock. “Our experience over many years has helped us to develop a second to none offering, and we know that as consumers become more discerning and want individual colours to suit their own tastes then our services will become even more important to the market. The opportunities for fabricators and installers to gain more business can be increased considerably by working with us; there is no need to say ‘no’ to a customer ever, and with Colour4You no job is beyond you.” Tel: 0800 678 5515, www.colour4you.net BEST USE OF GLASS AWARD – CALL FOR ENTIRES As members of the National Home Improvement Council (NHIC), the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) is sponsoring a new award called “Best Use of Glass in the Home” at the NHIC Awards 2013 and is inviting entries from UK companies.
