Industry News GARNALEX: NEW ALU WINDOWS Q1 2020 Garner Aluminium Extrusions (Garnalex) is a new aluminium systems company that says it’s reinventing the way aluminium windows and doors are fabricated, installed and sold. The company says it aims to transform every aspect of the customer experience. “Aluminium is a great material,” explained Roger Hartshorn, an industry expert and CEO of Garnalax, “but residential window systems haven’t always lived up to the material. So, we’re on a journey to transform fabricators’ and installers’ experience of buying aluminium systems and aluminium windows, and making it easier and better to fabricate, install and sell. And it will be a beautiful window.” Roger Hartshorn, continued: “Some of the best brains in the industry are joining me on this aluminium journey. We are investing in the best machinery, the best people and facilities. Fabricators and installers will be glad to know that we also intend our service to be ‘PVC outstanding’ in performance. That’s not perhaps what they’re used to in the aluminium market. With the new state-ofthe-art aluminium extrusion press installed, Garnalex aims to be supplying the trade extrusion market in October, and be launching two truly innovative, residential aluminium window systems at the end of Q1 2020. “Fabricators and installers who want to see what they’ll be making and selling in 2020 can reserve their place on a Garnalex Ambassador Workshop which we’re running over the summer and autumn. They’ll have the opportunity to learn about the new systems and beautiful windows and be among the first to sell them at the end of Q1 next year.” Ambassador Workshop – T: 01332 883 980 RECYCLING HELP FOR SCOTTISH INSTALLERS When buying their new products from CMS Trade, window and door installers in Scotland can now take advantage of a free recycling service for their old, post-use windows and doors, which are removed as part of replacement projects. The company is the new trade window and door division of CMS Window Systems, who says it has been at the forefront of ‘closed-loop’ recycling in the window industry since its inception in 2006. By setting itself up from the outset with a complete in-house waste collection, separation and recycling operation, CMS is perfectly placed to take post-use windows and doors from CMS Trade customers, whether these are timber, aluminium or PVCu frames, helping them to save hundreds of pounds every year on waste disposal costs.The Scottish Landfill Tax (SLfT) standard rate is currently £91.35 per tonne, which is why INSTALLER SUPPORT THROUGH GUARANTEE Polyframe has been busy following up enquiries for its homeowner guarantee following a successful launch at the FIT Show. Backed by leading household brand Yale, the ‘Polyframe Protection Promise’ offers up to £6,500 of cover in the event of a break-in. Giving homeowners complete confidence that their Polyframe windows and doors have been designed and manufactured to provide both PAS24:2016 & Secured by Design accredited protection, the new guarantee has been welcomed by PVCu installers as they approach the peak summer season for selling and installing. Richard Lee, PVCu Category Director at Polyframe, said: “The launch of this guarantee – the most comprehensive the industry has ever seen – is a really important milestone for PVCu installers who wanted a complete homeowner-led package that CMS Trade offers a free recycling service for post-use windows & doors. local authorities are required to charge commercial customers, and this can amount to a significant cost to installers over the course of a year. But, in addition to boosting the bottom line for installers, CMS Trade’s recycling service is an important selling point for homeowners and commercial customers, who are increasingly seeking assurances that recycling is being undertaken. Colin Torley, General Manager at CMS Trade said: “Recycling has become routine in our daily lives and, with the award winning facilities and processes we have in-house, there is no reason why post-use windows and doors shouldn’t be put to good use rather than being dumped in landfill. For any installer seeking to reduce their costs, this service has enormous value, but don’t forget the appeal to end-customers too as the demand for suppliers to be more sustainable grows ever stronger.” stands above everything else out there, and we’ve been impressed with the level of interest it has generated. “Combining five PVCu profiles, first rate hardware and the industry’s best guarantee, this valueadded solution gives installers the edge within a very competitive marketplace. This development not only underlines just how confident we are in our products but it also offers peace of mind to homeowners when they have Polyframe windows and doors installed.” 8 TIJULY/AUG <strong>2019</strong> PRACTICAL CONTENT FOR THE GLAZING INSTALLER & HOME IMPROVEMENT SPECIALIST
