The ever-popular competition saw six teams of experienced installers battle it out to fit windows, residential and bifold doors and a roof lantern, all under the of professional GQA assessors and show-goers. Tthe competitors were faced with an extra challenge – the window and residential door had to be fitted with Edgetech’s TruFit insulation tape, a product most of them had never used before. But as Edgetech’s head of marketing Charlotte Davies explains. “To start with, the competitors were a bit sceptical about TruFit, which was understandable – they’d never used it before, they were under a lot of pressure, and were facing the prospect of having to quickly get used to and effectively apply an unfamiliar product while being scrutinised by experts in the field. “Though, it didn’t take them long to realise that TruFit has been designed with ease of use in mind. Where silicone can be messy and inconsistent, TruFit tape is easy to apply and provides weather-tightness, air-tightness, and thermal and acoustic.” www.trufit-it.com New Integrated email marketing platform, STEM » » ASTRASEAL, MANUFACTURER AND supplier of uPVC and aluminium has become the first fabricator to use STEM, the, integrated email marketing platform for Salestracker from Insight Data.
