Updates Within the arched frame market, it can typically take days to get an informed quote or order acknowledgement, delaying processes and often resulting in frustrated customers. But with the new pricing and online ordering platform from arched and angled frame manufacturer Premier Arches, fabricators can now get their quotes within seconds, 24 hours a day, allowing them to swiftly get on with the job at hand. Managing Director Sean Greenall commented: “We are the only arched frame supplier in the UK to offer a platform like this, allowing fabricators to price and order even the most complex arched and angled frames in a wide range of profile systems, including glass, accessories and hardware, in a matter of seconds. They can also securely save their quotes and view their orders through a unique login portal on our website, taking full control of the ordering process and getting ahead of the competition.” www.premierarches.co.uk For further windows updates visit www.total-installer.co.uk A STREAMLINED PRICING AND ORDERING PLATFORM MAKING SURE YOU'RE READY FOR NEW PART L REGS Changes to Part L of Building Regulations coming into force on 15 June 2022 mean big changes for the thermal efficiency requirements of buildings. But Epwin Window Systems is already ahead of the curve to help its customers achieve the lower U-Value targets as its multiple systems already meet or exceed the new requirements. Phil Parry, Business Development Director at Epwin Window Systems, said that all Epwin Window Systems products across all its ranges already comply with the new regulations. The ranges include the Stellar Window & Door Aluminium System, Optima Window & Door System, Spectus Window & Door System, PatioMaster Sliding Door System, Flush Casement Window System, Flush Tilt & Turn Window System, Vertical Sliding Sash Window System and the Fully Reversible Window PVC-U System. www.epwinwindowsystems.co.uk LEAD TIMES SHRINK AS DEMAND GROWS Quickslide’s designated supply partner of foiled profile has expanded and increased capacity, reducing lead times for stock woodgrain VS windows to less than two weeks. At a time when many other fabricators are experiencing significant challenges in fulfilling the demand for woodgrain profile, Quickslide is living up to its name by catering for the increasing demand for coloured and foiled products, fast. Quickslide’s Legacy range of vertical sliders replicate traditional timber frames to give all the appearance of wood with the enhanced benefits of PVC-U, earning Quickslide ‘Vertical Sliding Window Company of the Year’ at the most recent National Fenestration Awards. www.quickslide.co.uk SUPER SLIM THINKING WITH NEW GLAZING SYSTEM While open plan spaces have been an aspirational aspect of contemporary living and work spaces in modern times, Covid-19 has made it necessary to rethink how we use large interior areas. The need to create safe, practical segmentation without compromising on natural daylight or style has seen a rapid growth in the popularity of glazed room dividers. Perfect for both commercial and residential projects, a unique new system from Super Slim Glazing meets this demand with a full suite of fixed glazing and a range of door options that utilise one of the slimmest profiles on the market. Providing the largest possible area of glass without compromising on durability, the Super Slim Glazing system has been designed by a company that truly understands glazing, comprising of a high-strength, rigid aluminium frame into which the glass unit is fitted. www.superslimglazing.co.uk 30 T I APRIL 2022 PRACTICAL CONTENT FOR THE GLAZING INSTALLER & HOME IMPROVEMENT SPECIALIST
