PRODUCT PAGES Doctor’s orders Fabricators using Dr Hahn door hinges feared the worst when their UK distributor suddenly ceased supply earlier this year. However, the German manufacturer took immediate steps to ensure continuity of supply by contacting VBH (GB) with regard to the hardware distributor taking Dr Hahn hinges into its range. The two companies have a long history of cooperation in many countries so VBH (GB) was already aware of the quality of the product. Supply was maintained to all of Dr Hahn’s existing customers initially by Clicking good Just a month after its relaunch, Rehau’s consumer website at www.rehauhome.com has seen a 20% increase in the number of visitors. The website is being promoted extensively via Rehau’s consumer advertising in both Ideal Home and Homes and Gardens magazines and a new Google Adwords campaign started at the beginning of April. The increase is good news for the 300+ Rehau authorised partners who are listed on the dealer locator section of the website, particularly since the number of visitors using the dealer locator has also increased by 58% and for Rehau and for our authorised the number clicking through from this to view partners’ own websites has partners and we’re very pleased that the recent improvements are paying off. increased by 89%. “At the beginning of March we Sheila Normington, the authorised partner coordinator at Rehau, said: relaunched the website with enhanced search engine optimisation and this is “The website is continually being leading directly to more visits and more improved to make it work harder both enquiries.” ❐ Tel: 01989 762600 direct deliveries from the German factory, but all hinges, including the KT- EV and KT-SV flags, are now supplied from VBH Gillingham. VBH marketing manager Gary Gleeson says:“Many fabricators fit these hinges to their PAS24/SBD spec doors so it was vital that Dr Hahn quickly found a reliable partner in Britain. We were delighted to fill that role whilst adding yet another quality product to our range.” ❐ Tel: 01634 263263 “ManufacturingVS windows in small numbers quickly can be disruptive and costly for mainstream fabricators.” So says Synseal chief David Leng as the company launched its latest range of coloured vertical sliding frames, which are designed to compete head to head with timber in terms of performance but particularly in the key areas of appropriate styling and finish. “Our increased range ofVS frames are designed to prove acceptable in sensitive locations and properties by offering a finish that is indistinguishable from high quality timber but which offer market leading energy rated performance,” said Leng.“The fittings and especially the balances are of the highest quality and will outlast anything else available,whatever the frame material, whilst being competitively priced and easy to install and set up. “If a fabricator manufacturing frames to this quality in low numbers analyses his costs, he is almost guaranteed to be losing money on every frame he produces. He must be honest with himself and consider the inconvenience of switching production from other,usually more profitable products, the downtime in setting up for small runs, high scrap levels, poor optimisation of foiled profiles, the cost of large stockholdings of seldom used profiles, multiple glass options and expensive hardware.The list goes on. “We began the manufacture ofVS frames as a support service simply because we were aware of the difficulties of making this style in low volumes.We produce these frames with a five day lead time to allow our fabricator customers to compete in what can be a very lucrative market.” ❐ www.synseal.co.uk The Fabricator 2011 35
