SupaLite raises the bar at FIT Show! 

As FIT Show celebrates its tenth 

year, one company which has 

continuously supported the event 

is tiled roof specialist, SupaLite. 

Without fail, the SupaLite team has 

attended every FIT Show since it launched 

back in 2013 – and the company says it 

is all set to make this year’s outing bigger 

and better than any before! 

Wes Clarkson, Sales Director at SupaLite, 

said: “As a longstanding supporter of 

the FIT Show, we’ve been there since 

the beginning. We’re extremely proud 

to be back once again, especially as 

the exhibition marks such an impressive 

milestone in the industry. We’ve been 

working incredibly hard in the background 

planning and preparing for this year’s 

show to give visitors the ultimate SupaLite 

experience and we can’t wait to showcase 

our plans.” 

The team says it will be displaying some 

of its most popular products at this year’s 

event, creating the perfect opportunity for 

visitors to learn more about the full range 

of high-quality solid roof solutions. 

As well as offering visitors the chance to 

see existing SupaLite products, surprises 

in store across the three-day exhibition 

include the launch of a brand new product. 

“At SupaLite, we’re continuously evolving 

our product range to guarantee we’re 

manufacturing high-quality products that 

are easy to install and help to save time 

on site. This new product is no exception, 

and we can’t wait to offi cially launch it,” 

Wes added. 

“Following an extensive period of research 

and testing, we’re confi dent that this new 

product will give installers more choice so 

that they can widen their own offering.” 

In addition, anyone who pays a visit to 

the SupaLite stand will be given the 

opportunity to take a trip to the SupaLite 

bar and enjoy a refreshing beer specially 

brewed by the team. Supa-Lite and Supa- 

Strong (pictured) are limited edition drinks 

that have been designed especially for FIT 

Show visitors. 

Another big focus for the company this 

year is reviewing and updating its existing 

Registered Installer Scheme. 

“We’re looking to support our installers 

more than ever throughout the year, so 

we’re reviewing our existing Registered 

Installer Scheme to help generate more 

leads, achieve incredible results and grow 

their business,” Wes continued. 

“We’ve really missed getting out on the 

road and meeting with our customers 

face-to-face so we’re looking forward to 

attending the FIT Show and meeting with 

thousands of people in just a few days. 

“It’ll be a great way to get some feedback 

on our existing scheme and to see what 

we can change to make it even better for 

our members. 

“Our plans for this year’s FIT Show are 

bigger and better than before and we 

can’t wait for everything to fi nally be out 

in the open”, Wes concluded.

I’d like to say a very warm welcome to 

FIT Show 2023! It may feel like just two 

minutes since we were last together 

for FIT Show 2022, but so much has 

changed over the last 12 months. 

FIT Show 2023 marks a full decade since 

our launch, and we’ve certainly got a lot 

to celebrate. 

I’m delighted that you are here to help us 

mark this special milestone and would like 

to thank each and every one of you for 

your continued support. 

We’ve pulled out all the stops to 

make sure that FIT Show returns with 

a bang and hope that you will fi nd 

the information, tools, contacts and 

connections that will help you to do better 

business both now and in the future. 

Make sure you pick up a copy of our 

‘Pocket Guide’ which contains a fl oorplan 

to help guide you around the show. This 

includes all of the information you will 

need about the exclusive show offers that 

are running, live demonstrations on the 

brand new Installer Hub, as well as our 

CPD approved learning programme. 

You will be able to watch a live stream of 

the show and key highlights via the FIT 

Show TV section of the homepage of our 

website. The website also includes our 

‘what’s on’ guide to help visitors navigate 

the show and our key features across the 

three days. 

Don’t forget, we’re open until 8pm for our 

late night party on Wednesday (24th May) 

and our exhibitors are hosting some great 

events on their stands, including the PiGs 

party! 

And after the show, you’ll have two years 

to recover, nurture the leads and contacts 

you’ve made and apply the knowledge 

you’ve learnt before we return with FIT 

Show 2025. We’ll be back at the NEC 

from 29th April - 1st May, 2025. 

But for now, it’s time to focus on FIT 

Show 2023. On behalf of the whole FIT 

Show team I would like to thank you

Brett Martin set to shine 

Daylight systems manufacturer, 

Brett Martin, is set to showcase 

new product developments and a 

growing portfolio of glass rooflight 

products when the company makes its first 

appearance at the FIT Show 2023. 

Visitors to the Brett Martin stand can 

see the latest additions to its range 

of flat glass, circular, continuous and 

lantern rooflight products, all designed 

and manufactured in the UK for installers 

engaged in the local housing market and 

commercial applications. 

Brett Martin has established a reputation 

for rapid delivery of glass rooflights, with a 

significant part of the range now available 

in just 3-5 days. Tony Isaac, Commercial 

Sales Director, explained: “We are 100% 

focused on delivering the best service to 

installers for products that are both easy 

to order and easy to install. We understand 

that time is money for the trade, so our aim 

is to help them get the products they need 

quickly, to help them get on and off sites 

quicker. Our aim is simply to be the most 

user-friendly option for the installer.” 

Brett Martin’s display will highlight another 

of its standout features: delivering 

enhanced safety for homeowners through 

the use of laminated inner panes on all 

glass rooflight products, giving users peace 

of mind when living under overhead glazing. 

Tony added: “Our policy of only selling 

products with laminated inner panes 

means that our standard option is 

a higher specification but we have 

engineered the products to ensure that 

the user is not paying a premium for such 

an essential feature.” 

In addition to its range of glass rooflights, 

from the affordable Flat Glass option to the 

elegant modular Glass Link system, Brett 

Martin is also exhibiting its latest canopy 

roofing systems and complementary 

products, including rainwater systems.

A genuine (FIT) show 

stopper from Apeer 

If you are looking for something 

genuinely new and exciting amongst 

residential entrance doors at this 

year’s FIT Show, then how does a 

120mm front-to-back format, with 78mm 

quadruple sealed glass units as standard 

offering industry-leading insulation and 

security performance, grab you? 

The only way to really grasp – literally 

– the specification and quality of The 

Residence Door Collection by Apeer is 

to go to Stand R81 and see, touch and 

try the doors for yourself. The range has 

been developed through a partnership 

between two of the window and door 

industry’s most respected brands: The 

Residence Collection – responsible for the 

groundbreaking R9 flush timber alternative 

window – and Apeer, one of the UK and 

Ireland’s leading door manufacturers. 

The result is a range of highperformance, 

premium entrance 

doors that offers the most advanced 

specification of any residential door 

range currently available. Thermal 

performance, once testing has been 

completed, will be significantly better 

than A++, achieving ‘passivhaus’ 

thermal performance standards. This 

is provided by a construction of GRP 

skins around a high-density PU core, 

reinforced with aluminium anti-cut 

through security mesh embedded within 

the core. 

Every door, including skins and glass 

units, will be manufactured by Apeer 

at its 120,000 ft 2 state-of-the-art 

Ballymena factory. 

Specification from the outset will be 

comprehensive to include nine standard 

colours at launch (seven grained and 

two smooth), with the availability of full 

sidelights and top lights now, with half 

lights and others to follow. Weather 

deflectors, and Stormguard or full frame 

thresholds are standard. High quality 

hardware and furniture will be used 

throughout, whilst extra touches such as 

Ultion KeyTag-equipped, ‘Apple Find My’ 

trackable keys will also help to form the 

comprehensive standard specification. 

A total of 20 designs have been chosen, 

including a distinctive concept door that 

is designed to include everything that 

The Residence Door Collection by Apeer 

embodies, including the key elements 

of design and performance with a range 

that includes traditional, contemporary 

and stable door designs.

FIT SHOW 


A ‘real game changer’: Connect with Selecta 

One of the UK’s leading and longstanding PVC-U 

window and door systems companies, Selecta 

Systems, is heading to FIT Show 2023 with a 

fabricator and installer support package that it 

claims is a real game changer! 

The independent, family-owned systems company says 

it has always been proud of its fl exible and personal 

service and support package – and sees the FIT Show 

as the perfect platform to show off its latest innovations. 

The recent update to Selecta’s Connect customer 

portal aims to take the company’s marketing and sales 

support package to the next level, with a suite of support 

mechanisms designed to help fabricators and installers 

win new business, as Marketing Manager Mark Walker 

explained: “We have launched a homeowners’ website 

with two fabulous new features. The fi rst being a ‘Find a 

Fabricator/ Installer’ feature, where all of our approved 

fabricators and installers are available within a simplistic 

search engine. 

“The second is the option to design your own windows 

and doors with our fantastic Window and Door Designer! 

The designer has all of the Selecta range of products, 

from casement, fl ush sash and tilt and turn windows 

through to residential, French, patio and EASi-FOLD 

doors. We’ve also added in a range of composite doors, 

so that the homeowner has a good range of products, 

styles and confi gurations to choose from and improve 

their home. 

“We have kept the design and enquiry process simple. 

The homeowner can select a number of window and 

door confi gurations and styles, the internal and external 

colour, hardware colour and other glazing options like 

Georgian bar or leaded glass. The real beauty of this 

is that they can also take a photo of their property 

and drop the windows and doors on to their home to 

visualise how they would look! 

“They can then submit their design as a professional PDF 

enquiry for quoting, which we send direct to their local 

fabricator and/or installer’s admin area of their Connect 

portal for access and follow up. 

“As a fabricator or installer, we are also able to offer 

you a branded version of the window and door designer 

for you to have embedded upon your own website! As a 

fabricator and/or installer you are then able to generate 

your own sales leads and have them land within your own 

admin area of your own version of Connect. 

“You can have your own logo and contact details 

contained within the package and also emblazoned on 

all the relevant paperwork. What’s also being added, is 

the ability to add prices and provide a professional quote 

and order system. It really is a fantastic marketing and 

sales management platform! 

“Make your way over to stand M31 to see it all in action 

and take up the opportunity to #bepartofthefamily.”

FIT SHOW 


Focusing on 

the high end 

Listers is offering window installers 

new high-value products to sell 

to homeowners, as well as new 

opportunities to maximise margin 

at this year’s FIT Show. 

Among the products being unveiled will 

be an exclusive new aluminium entrance 

door and an internal glass panel 

door, both of which will help Listers’ 

customers upsell to their existing 

customers. 

“We have one of the most exciting 

product ranges in the window and door 

industry,” Managing Director Roy Frost 

(pictured) said. 

“Not only are we the home of the Sheerline 

aluminium range of windows, doors and 

lanterns, but we have a wide choice of 

PVC-U windows and doors, including 

Residence Collection, Veka and Eurocell. 

“Importantly, they are all Part-L ready 

and are available on the same lead 

times in a wide range of colours, which 

is what our customers demand to stay 

one step ahead of the competition. 

“With our new aluminium entrance door 

and internal panel door, we are creating 

new opportunities – we are completing 

our aluminium offer, and giving our 

customers access to the inside of the 

properties with products that allow light 

to fl ood the interior while demarcating 

space – by separating out an offi ce 

area, for example. 

“Both products give our customers 

access to budgets that could have gone 

elsewhere, which will be more profi table 

because the fi tting teams are already on 

site.”

Electric focus for 

Combilift at FIT Show 

Irish materials handling specialist Combilift 

offers customised products which guarantee 

the safe, space saving and productive 

handling and storage of long and bulky 

loads, pallets and oversized materials. 

Its range includes multidirectional forklifts, 

pedestrian stacker trucks, 4-way and 

2-way sideloaders and the Aisle Master 

articulated narrow aisle forklifts. The 

company’s experts will be on-hand on to 

fi nd out which Combilift solution best fi ts 

your requirements. 

In line with growing demand for greener 

operation, the focus at this year’s event 

is on Combilift’s electric models such 

as the Combi-CBE – the world’s fi rst 

counterbalance design, multidirectional 

forklift with electric drive on all of its 

three wheels. Its internationally patented 

traction enables independent control of 

each of the wheels and guarantees 100% 

traction control, negating the need for 

differential lock when operating on wet or 

slippery surfaces. This model can handle 

a mix of both long products and palletised 

loads, and is therefore an extremely 

versatile piece of equipment that works 

both inside and out, in production 

facilities, storage areas and for loading 

and offl oading delivery vehicles. 

Combilift continues to expand its range of 

walk-behind trucks which are designed with 

operator vision, overall safety and effi ciency 

in mind. Two of these are on the stand: the 

Combi-WR reach stacker and the Combi-CS 

counterbalance design model. Both benefi t 

from compact dimensions which enable 

them to manoeuvre easily around machinery 

without hampering production schedules. 

Both feature Combilift’s patented unique 

multi-position tiller arm which enables pushbutton 

rotation of the rear wheel, allowing 

the operator to remain at the side of the 

unit – the safest possible position – when 

working in narrow aisles. 

Stand Q1 

Gerda’s back with plenty more for FIT! 

GERDA says it has taken the lessons learned from its spectacular debut at FIT 

Show and distilled that information into its offer for visitors to its stand at this 

year’s event! The past year has been used to develop classic four panel, glazed 

and unglazed styles, in addition to the contemporary designs that have become 

so popular with buyers of aluminium windows in Britain and Ireland in recent years. 

Gerda doors are specifi ed throughout mainland Europe for their attention to security, 

with all doors enjoying multi point locks, three bolt main locks, anti-burglary vertical 

bolts, anti-theft pins and optional auxiliary locks for added security. New Fuhr hardware 

will be available on some models for 2023. Pioneer Gerda is launching a fi re door, 

whilst a new door confi gurator will link homeowners, installers and the factory to allow 

homeowners to design their own door whilst keeping lead times competitive with other 

premium door suppliers.

FIT SHOW 


Made for Trade ready 

for “number one event” 

As the UK’s number one event 

dedicated to the window, door, 

hardware and flat glass industry, 

Made for Trade (MFT) says the 

key difference of the FIT Show has always 

been the networking and community 

within the industry. 

When it comes to promotion and 

engagement with a trade audience, MFT 

says nothing comes close to the faceto-face 

focus of FIT Show, enjoyed by 

Made for Trade since 2016 alongside the 

hands-on displays and demonstrations 

that have been paramount to the success 

of its Korniche products. 

MFT will be presenting the Korniche Roof 

Lantern build and the Korniche Bi-folding 

Door SpeedBead, which has become a 

huge hit with installers, on the FIT Show 

Installer HUB each day. 

Made for Trade will also have Mark Millar 

joining the team on Wednesday 24th both 

on their stand and in the installer HUB. 

Mark, who is best known from DIY SOS 

and the Channel 5 Series ‘Build Your 

Dream Home’, is supporting the team as 

brand ambassador for the multi-award 

winning Korniche products. 

This year the Made for Trade stand will be 

a developed version of the stand it uses 

at consumer exhibitions and events. 

Variations and configurations of the 

company’s bi-folds and lantern will be on 

show, plus the team will be on-hand to 

highlight the lengths the business goes 

to for its trade customers in support 

of marketing the Korniche brand to the 

homeowner audience, ensuring brand 

recognition and developing leads for its 

trade partners nationally. 

Visitors will also be able to see a 

demonstration of KwikQuote, the MFT 

dedicated online pricing and configuration 

tool which delivers immediate access 

for Korniche quotations to trade account 

customers. 

With unrivalled ordering, customer 

service, delivery and accessories, 

alongside market-leading engineering and 

unbeatable prices, there has never been 

a better time to speak to the Made for 

Trade team at FIT Show 2023.

Exclusive daily deals 

on Emmegi’s stand! 

Fabricators who want to get 

even more value from their visit 

to FIT should head over to the 

Emmegi (UK) stand, where there are 

show-only deals on machinery spares, 

consumables and tools, and free 

advice on everything from software and 

training to cleaning and maintenance. 

Pick up a copy of the Emmegi (UK) 

2023 spares and consumables 

catalogue on the stand and you’ll get a 

10% off voucher for all catalogue items 

purchased from the opening day, up 

until the end of June 2023. 

There are also specially negotiated 

discounts available on the Emmegi (UK) 

range of hand tools and ancillaries, but 

only for items purchased at the show. 

“It’s also part of our mission to 

persuade customers to only use good 

quality authentic spares, and quality 

tools and consumables to keep on 

getting the best performance from their 

machines year after year. 

“I’ll also be on the stand throughout the 

show manning our own Emmegi (UK) 

help desk and answering questions 

from customers on any aspect of their 

machinery set up, training or service 

routine.” 

Emmegi (UK) is one of the few 

exhibitors to have been at every FIT 

Show since 2013, and has become 

known for its trademark Italian-style 

hospitality. 

Wayne Hunter, Emmegi (UK)’s 

Operations Manager, said: “For us, the 

FIT Show is as much about saying thank 

you to existing customers as it is about 

winning new business, so this is one 

way of doing that. 

There’s a specially zoned area of the 

stand (P40) reserved for customers 

where they can relax, catch up and 

enjoy a drink and a snack with the 

team.

Lots to see and hear about 

on the GGF stand 

In a bid to be more open, transparent and accessible, the GGF and its associate 

bodies, FENSA, BFRC (Window and Door Energy Ratings), Installsure (specialist 

insurance) and RISA (inspections), are pleased to invite FIT Show visitors to fi nd out 

more about the enormous number of initiatives and support services now on offer. 

The GGF alone has launched a number of new initiatives in recent months including 

the Skilled Pathways Training scheme, Window of Opportunity research and the glass 

recycling scheme, as Tom Butler, Head of Sales & Marketing explained: “The GGF 

Group continually researches, develops and launches initiatives designed to provide 

members and non-members with valuable and tangible support. 

every day. Meeting people face-to-face allows both parties to understand each other 

better so we want visitors to ‘come and press the fl esh’ to fi nd out more about each of 

the organisations in the group, and how they work.” 

Stand T41 

“The GGF and its sister organisations have also been responsible for launching Pulse 

Testing to assess trickle vent requirements on a property, which has been a huge help 

to installation businesses previously worried about the change in Building Regulations. 

“The new glass recycling scheme is also a welcome addition to the already successful 

recycling programmes for PVC-U and aluminium frames. 

“We invite visitors to the FIT Show to come and fi nd out what we are about! We 

welcome the opportunity to actually meet the people we serve who are at the coalface

New product debuts & sweet 

prizes from Morley Glass! 

A Quick look at what 

the future holds... 

Head straight to stand R31 to 

discover what the future holds for 

Quickslide windows and doors 

– including an exclusive look at a new 

feature for Legacy vertical sliders, which 

is being revealed for the fi rst time. 

With two completely new 

products to launch and a 

host of new colours for its 

Venetian Uni-Blinds integral 

blinds, Morley Glass will be making a 

big impact at the 2023 FIT Show. 

This year’s show is particularly special 

for the company as it provides a unique 

opportunity for a dual celebration – the 

10th year of the FIT Show coinciding with 

the 25th anniversary of Morley Glass. 

On display at the Morley Glass stand will 

be a new pleated integral blind for fl at 

glass roofl ights. This modern blackout 

blind is compatible with any fl at glass 

roofl ight to provide total shading inside 

the room as and when required, with the 

added benefi t of featuring solar control 

glass, heat soaked, to ensure optimum 

long-term performance. 

A second new product making its 

debut is a new switchable smart glass, 

which uses electricity to provide instant 

privacy at the fl ick of a switch. As 

the current passes through a thin fi lm 

applied to high quality laminated glass, 

the glass changes from its opaque 

state when the power is off, to be 

transparent when switched on. The

Contemporary products with 

‘good old-fashioned service’ 

If you want to get a taste of what it’s like having 

Whitesales as your rooflights partner, head on over 

to Stand E31, where there’s an exclusive space to 

relax and unwind, and enjoy some good old-fashioned 

service amidst the contemporary products. 

The Whitesales team are at FIT to show fabricators how 

their package of service and support takes away all the 

hassle that normally comes from outsourcing lanterns and 

rooflights, and makes it easy for customers to make money 

in one of the fastest growing sectors of the market. 

Products on display include a new, easy-to-fit em.glaze 

SkyVu lantern, the stylish and contemporary em.glaze 

flat glass rooflight, and a mix of polycarbonate domes 

and sky tubes. There are also demos of the RUFUS 

online rooflight configurator, and a chance to find out the 

real commercial benefits that come from partnering with 

a supplier that has expert teams available to advise on 

specification and standards, always has large volumes 

of stock available for delivery next day and believes in 

putting customers first. Whitesales has been a big name 

in the rooflights and daylighting market for more than 

30 years and only manufactures and supplies rooflights 

for the trade and commercial sectors. That doesn’t just 

mean it’s an expert in these products, but also means it 

doesn’t compete with its customers in the retail market 

or on windows and doors. 

Marketing Director Sioned Yates explained: “Just in case 

anyone has any doubts about the quality of the service 

they can expect from Whitesales, we’ve themed parts 

of the stand around a traditional members’ club. We’re 

emphasising value as well though and showing how easy 

is to maintain strong margins on our products which are 

simple to order and fast to fit. We’ve even got regular 

demos of our em.glaze SkyVu and flat glass rooflight 

happening in the FIT Show installer hub.” 

Stand E31 

WE GO ABOVE 

Fabricators, we can help you 

focus on what you do best 

by supplying a huge range of 

rooflights quickly and hassle-free. 

From flat to lantern, walk-on to fully 

bespoke, we can work with you to help 

your customers let more daylight into 

their lives. 

And, with our highly dedicated and 

knowledgeable customer service 

team, online configuration and 

ordering, fast delivery and great 

value, here at Whitesales, we always 

go above.

FIT SHOW 


The Next-Gen roof lantern 

from Garnalex is here 

Sheerline’s award-winning S1 

Roof Lantern just got even 

better! The UK’s most secure, 

sustainable, and stylish roof 

lantern now offers a 3 Way Option. 

This allows you to install bigger lantern 

confi gurations without needing jack 

rafters. With S1 now offering 13 

different roof styles to choose from, 

including pyramids. 

No matter the size, every S1 Roof 

Lantern offers the same benefi ts and 

features you’ve become accustomed 

to; super slim sightlines for a sleek, 

modern aesthetic, in-built security with 

an optional Secured by Design (SBD) 

upgrade, and market leading thermal 

performance thanks to Sheerline’s 

Thermlock multi-chamber technology, 

which offers an alternative to outdated 

polyamide thermal breaks. 

Aside from the new 3 Way Option, 

another feature being showcased for the 

S1 Roof Lanterns is the new SheerVent – 

set to redefi ne customers’ expectations 

of roof vents. Homeowners with roof 

lanterns often wish there was a way to 

open one of the panels during the hot 

summer months, and now they can. 

All without compromising on S1’s unique 

low line modern aesthetics. 

SheerVent is an intelligent, stylish 

ventilation option. Designed to sit 

perfectly fl ush with the S1’s rafter 

bars. It removes the need for ‘leak 

prone’ muntin bars meaning it’s more 

weathertight than its competitors. 

Using powered actuators that can be 

intelligently automated, SheerVent 

brings roof vents into the 21st century 

at last. 

Stand Q31 

Installer Hub will see 

products “come to life”

Fenestration training providers, GQA

day of demonstrations on the Installer 

Hub with two thirty minute sessions at 

10.30am, covering hints and tips about 

the surveying of windows and doors 

for installers, followed by advice on 

surveyor training. 

Nickie West, FIT Show Event Director, 

said: “This new feature will create an 

extra touchpoint for installers, allowing 

them to speak directly to manufacturers 

and distributors of the latest windows, 

doors, lanterns, roofi ng, hardware and 

software solutions, as well as receiving 

practical advice and support to help 

them install and sell these products to 

end users.” 

The GGF will also demonstrate its brand 

new pulse testing system on Tuesday
