• Soul Mates - Aluminium & PVC-U Fit Together

As demand for aluminium continues to surge in popularity, Framexpress says its Ali by Framexpress range enhances its customers offering, alongside its extensive PVC-U fabrication.

“With homeowner trends developing and architectural preferences seeing aluminium becoming a popular choice, installers need to be equipped with products that keep them competitive. It’s especially important as market challenges continue. We’re confident that Ali by Framexpress achieves that,” says Jonny Green, the company’s principal product manager.

King with social housing

With a surge in focus on aluminium, Green reflects on the shift in the industry, saying: “It may seem as though aluminium has saturated the market, yet PVC-U is still very much the mainstay. While aluminium is serving the high-end, design-led projects, PVC-U plays a vital role in high-volume residential applications, whether it’s social housing, council-led retrofits, new build housing developments or the landlord and rented market.

“Whether driven by cost, familiarity or ease of maintenance, PVC-U offers a reliable performance, without compromising on energy efficiency or security. Plus, with such rapid evolution, modern PVC-U offers so much more design versatility now than it did years ago. With foiled finishes, flush sashes, heritage options and sleek hardware, our PVC-U products mean customers can satisfy their design-conscious buyers, while ticking the boxes for price and performance.”

Doors too

With Ali by Framexpress now a firm extension of the trade fabricators’ catalogue, along with its newly-launched composite door range, it now has a complete range of products. This means no matter what the project, specification or design requirements, its installer customers have all the products they need under one roof.

Green says: “Aluminium and PVBC-U are not an either/or material choice – it’s really about our customers having the right products for the right projects in this ever-evolving industry. Plus, with high specification products and the support and service to match, we’re a fabricator that is here to help our customers cater to these evolutions, not turn away from them.”

Picture: Aluminium isn’t taking over PVC-U, it’s enhancing it, says Framexpress.
