Xpert Advice FENESTRATION'S STILL OUR FORTE In this month’s column for Total Installer, Richard Bryant, Window Ware’s Commercial Director, explains why despite being up against it over the last couple of years, installers can still count on the company’s range of just-the-job hand tools and consumables. We understand that specialist glazing jobs require specialist equipment. There’s nothing more frustrating than having to make do and ‘bend’ general purpose tools to work for skilled glazing tasks; the job invariably takes longer, and you’ll have to work harder to achieve the professional results you’re after. The Xpert brand is totally tailored to the needs of the fenestration professional. It was created by a team of experienced ex-fitters who have been in your shoes, felt your frustration and ultimately took it upon themselves almost 12 years ago to fill the gap in the market with a much-needed range of cleverly designed tools and equipment that was purpose-built for the door and window industry. Today, Xpert products not only help installers, but fabricators too, achieve the best results in less time. And because they’ve been designed with insider knowledge of how they are really used on site or in the factory, they are always up to the task and eliminate many of the irritations associated with employing general-purpose tools. Our Xpert 32mm chisel knife, with its strong, precision-manufactured blade, is THE tool for deglazing windows. Our Xpert Glass Gauge makes measuring the thickness of fitted glass units quick and easy, without having to dismantle the door or window first! Likewise, our mitre shears make cutting gasket and trims so much easier, slicing effortlessly through plastic, rubber, or wood up to 15mm thick at angles up to 45 degrees. Richard Bryant Even our Xpert PVCu saw isn’t just your average saw! Its fine-toothed blade has been specially designed to cut quickly and cleanly through plastic building products like fascia and trim. Every single item in the Xpert range has been developed to alleviate common complaints, perfect results and streamline an installer’s most frequent, yet most essential tasks. A fitter’s favourite and a trusted trade counter fixture Our range of glazing tools and finishing essentials has won over trade professionals across the country with its winning formula of practical design, intelligent features and hard-working dependability. In fact, in the last five years alone, Xpert sales have grown significantly, and our products are now sold in over 300 stockists nationwide. With a steadily growing fan base and quality hand tools currently in greater demand than ever, Xpert has pulled out all the stops to ensure its stockists have a ready, reliable, and responsive “There’s nothing more frustrating than having to make do and ‘bend’ general purpose tools to work for skilled glazing tasks” supply of all their top-sellers and fast-moving product lines.
