doors&windows sponsored by Ninety Degree Option Conquers »»Synseal’s bestselling hybrid orangery, Global Summer, is now available in an extended range of building extension footprint styles thanks to a new 90 degree internal corner casting. Fashioned from sturdy cast aluminium, Global Summer’s precision-engineered corner castings complement the distinctively-shaped extruded aluminium decorative external fascia to ensure a neat fitted appearance. Launched in May 2012, Global Summer was initially available in popular Georgian, Victorian and Gable conservatory styles which cater for the vast majority of orangery market applications, but the new 90 degree internal corner casting now allows more complex T-shaped and P-shaped orangeries to be constructed. “One of the very first installations of Global Summer was a special design calling for a 90 degree internal corner casting, so we hand-crafted components in our Research & Development department using the latest 3D modelling technology,” comments Phil Parry, Synseal’s Head of R&D. “Since then we’ve had a number of similar requests for more complex orangery footprint designs, so it made sense for us to invest in creation of a cast aluminium solution.” “The new 90 degree corner casting helps us to create impressive and efficient hybrid orangery design solutions with an immaculate appearance for UK homeowners who are looking for affordable style,” continues Phil. “The devil is in the detail. Carefully-designed Global Summer components such as the additional decorative fascia joint cover castings really ‘wow’ consumers and deliver customer delight.” www.synseal.com 38 » AUG 2015 » CL E ARVI E W- UK . C O M Amazing Images Prove to be a Winner »»Truedor has announced the winners of its ‘Amazing Competition’ for the best photographs of its doors sent in by homeowners. The winning homeowners were each presented with a signed copy of Truedor’s brand ambassador George Clarke’s ‘Amazing Spaces’ book while the winning installers each received a voucher for an amazing £100 of their next purchase. Richard Kirman Sales and Marketing Manager for IG Doors Trade Division explained the thinking behind the competition. “We wanted our trade installer customers to get involved and to have an opportunity to show how proud they were of the fantastic installations they had done. Encouraging them to get the homeowners to send the photographs in with a recommendation for them was a great way to do it; creating a competition where the homeowner could win a prize and the installer too was absolutely perfect. “The response was outstanding and the most difficult thing was picking out the winners. In the end we picked ten, and the photographs are all featured on our website, we would encourage installers to keep on sending photos in for the gallery, it will certainly help when consumers visit the site. “We are grateful to George Clarke for giving us so many copies of his fabulous ‘Amazing Spaces’ book which have been really well received by the winners, and our congratulations go to the winning installers, each of whom won a £100 voucher to discount off their next Truedor. “The competition is just one of the things we are doing to engage with installers of our doors and their customers, and there will be lots more exciting initiatives to come.” Richard comments. www.truedor.co.uk
