Opportunities in Secured by Design contracts
» » WHEN SECURED BY DESIGN
accreditation is specified in a sliding patio
contract, PatioMaster Secure is the answer
because it provides a PatioMaster door that
meets this most demanding of standards.
Secured by Design is the official UK Police
flagship initiative that combines the principles
of ‘designing out crime’ with physical security.
Secured by Design accredited PatioMaster
doors have five enhanced security features
that mean they can meet the stringent
requirements of Secured by Design and
provide the peace of mind that’s needed.
Interlock bolts lock the sliding panel to the
fixed one and ensure the two cannot be forced
apart. A full width security head rail runs
across the top of the opening panel to prevent
it being lifted from the track. A full height
security keep rail supports the sliding door at
each corner. A PAS24 handle is designed to
withstand sustained manual attack and has an
enhanced back-plate for even greater security
levels. Finally, an anti-bump cylinder prevents
the lock cylinder being bumped.
PatioMaster is the UK’s favourite patio
door and it is value-added features such as the
Secured by Design option that demonstrate
why.

When three is better than two
» » SPECTUS WINDOW SYSTEMS HAS
stayed at the forefront of the industry with
its intelligent, market-facing approach. This
is evident in its continuous product progress
and ability to work with market trends such as
those witnessed in triple glazing.
Since the industry debated the triple glazing
benefits some three years ago there has been
an increasing traction in the concept especially
where higher levels of thermal insulation are
required which cannot always be achieved
with double glazing.
The Spectus triple glazing solution offers
customers total flexibility and product choice
without compromising on style or finish.
With three bead options, it’s possible
to offer the exact specification or WER
requirement needed and all Spectus’ beads
work with both bevelled or ovolo shaped
profiles.
Furthermore, you can even use Georgian bars
alongside triple glazing without compromising
the aesthetics as the Spectus 36mm bead is
perfectly proportioned for added period detail.
Demand for triple glazing is still growing
and customers should be able to offer it with
confidence and without compromising on
quality or style. The triple and double-glazing
options from Spectus means customers can do
just that.

of windows and doors has invested in what is
understood to be a UK industry first.

invested in a pioneering Modula lift and storage
system; and is the first UK based glass and

The Modula system installed at TWR is seven
metres high and stores hundreds of products
which can be accessed easily and efficiently by
authorised personnel.
TWR’s investment in the pioneering system
is another bold move by the Peterlee based
business and could pave the way for more
companies to follow suit.
The TWR Group is one of the UK’s leading
aluminium and PVC-u trade fabricators and
suppliers, boasting a huge selection of products
including bi-folding doors, WarmCore products,
and aluminium lantern roof windows.
