Read Full ArticleColour choice, design flexibility and thermal performance are driving increased demand for PVC-U windows from housebuilders and main contractors according to Glazerite and Deceuninck.
With plans to build its profile in the commercial space forming a key part of its forward strategy, Glazerite has chosen to partner with Deceuninck, starting manufacture of its dedicated commercial window system, the Deceuninck 2500 series earlier this year.
"We saw Deceuninck as a strategic partner from the very beginning," says Darren Rhodes, MD North for Glazerite. "Their strong capabilities and dedicated commercial department, which works closely with our sales and commercial team, made them an ideal fit.
"The 2500 was recommended by Deceuninck, particularly for the commercial projects. We have traditionally used a chamfered product in that sector, so it fits very well with our strategy."
Traditional 2500
The Traditional 2500 is a technically advanced system designed for energy efficiency and security, making it ideal for commercial applications. It offers over 30 stock colour options and achieves U-Values as low as 0.86 W/m²K.
The system is compatible with standard security hardware and meets the enhanced security standard PAS24 for both windows and doors.
"The combination of the Traditional 2500's core product performance with Deceuninck’s colour options and an OTIF of 98% forms a powerful proposition in the commercial space,” says Rhodes.
“This ensures that clients benefit from high-performing, versatile products along with reliable and efficient delivery.”
Technical support
"Technically, Deceuninck are very strong," adds Rhodes. "Our team had the opportunity to visit Deceuninck's state-of-the-art plants in both Belgium and the UK. This allowed us to gain valuable insights into their manufacturing processes and quality control measures.
"Their comprehensive product training programmess for our customer care and technical teams have equipped us with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver exceptional service to our clients.
“Additionally, Deceuninck's advanced software for calculating U-values and energy ratings has been instrumental in ensuring that we can provide our customers with high-quality, energy-efficient products tailored to their specific needs."
