Allumette Group will make its return
to the FIT Show in May. Stand E21 will
feature products from group companies,
IKON Aluminium Systems, a manufacturer
of architectural aluminium building
products, and powder coating specialist,
Vertik-Al.
As the company celebrates its twentieth year,
IKON Aluminium Systems will be showcasing
its proven louvre range. Under the theme
‘Ventilating the Nation’, visitors to stand E21
will learn how products such as the continuous,
demountable and barrier louvres, alongside
louvre doors, can facilitate air flow demands.
With five standard outer frames and
numerous custom modifications available,
the IKON range offers over 60 variants.
Information relating to technical data and
independent product testing, including Impact
Resistance and Wind Resistance, provide
assurance on performance and quality.
Vertik-Al, meanwhile, will be proving that
functional doesn’t have to mean dull and
boring. Grey product will not feature on the
stand! Each IKON product will be powder
coated by Vertik-Al to showcase the group’s
coating capability and standard of finish.
Both businesses have benefited from
significant investment in recent years,
including new equipment, like the Cube
Grande, a vertical powder coating booth
and the first booth of its kind to be installed
in the UK; alongside giving staff access to
continuing professional development.
Fabricators, installers and systems houses
are encouraged to visit stand E21 where the
Vertik-Al and IKON teams will be available
to answer questions and give advice on
products and services, not least on how to
maximise their market potential.

‘ALWAYS OPEN’ FOR SOLAR CALIBRE DOORS
Solar Calibre Doors will be making its debut
appearance at FIT Show 2022, supported by
its new ‘Always Open’ marketing campaign and
showcasing its extensive range of GRP and
Timber composite doors, under the well-known
brands Benchmark and Craftsman.
Solar Calibre is looking ahead, exploring new
technologies and glimpsing the future of door
specification. Visitors to the stand will be able to
take a look at some options and give their thoughts
to the Solar Calibre team, which is always open to
observations and feedback from customers.
Excellent customer service and attention to detail
are both critical USPs for the business, as explained
by Gareth Jones, Managing Director of Solar Calibre
Doors:“Not surprisingly, one of the reasons our
customers come back to us again and again is
because of our service – we listen, we learn and
we deliver. So, we’ve wrapped Solar Calibre in
our ‘Always Open’ marketing theme because it
represents everything the business is about – we’re
always here whether that’s literally, to drop in and
see us, or to handle technical queries, answer
product questions or ensure smooth delivery to
site. And now, we’re really pleased to announce the
Extrudaseal is exhibiting its entire product
range on Stand G6 at FIT Show 2022, including
PremaSeal and its range of Se-Lon foam seals.
“We are excited about the return of FIT Show,
and we can’t wait to see so many industry faces
in one place again,” says Chris Byers, Managing
Director at Extrudaseal.
“The event provides fabricators and installers
with a fantastic opportunity to meet other people
in the industry, learn about the latest technology
and how it may be able to benefit their business.
The 2019 event was very successful for us, we
spoke direct to fabricators and installers about
the benefits of working with Extrudaseal, as well
as showing off our wide range of products, and
we’re looking forward to showing visitors our new
PremaSeal range at this year’s event.
“PremaSeal is our premium range of seals and
launch of our new online portal to streamline the
ordering process – customers can place orders in
their own time, day or night. We know this will be
a real benefit for them so we’re looking forward to
receiving their feedback.”
As well as having its stand presence at FIT Show,
Solar Calibre will also be represented on stage
when Gareth Jones joins a panel on 10th May,
1.10-1.40, discussing ‘Facing up to the skills
shortage’ with industry colleagues.
