The Icing on the Cake for
ReplacementWindows
»»TOPSILL IS THE INNOVATIVE
window sill cladding product offering a solution
to a common problem for installers when it
comes to replacement windows… The window
board! Removing and replacing the window
board is notoriously difficult to do without
causing damage to plaster work and decor and
the associated work to then make good.
That’s why, when Decora previewed its new
Topsill window sill cladding product at the
FIT Show earlier this year, it was met with
a resounding response from installers that
it would prove useful for the replacement
window market and looked stunning.
Clearview spoke to Decora’s Sales Manager,
Anthony Jenner, to find out more…

this in itself was a problem, particularly when
trying colour match the board to the frames.
The authentic tile effect of Topsill, in its variety
of colours, complement any window frame,
thus removing the need to colour match and
the end result looks stunning. It also eliminates
the need for unsightly plastic clips, end caps
and quadrants,” Anthony continues.
“What Topsill does is offers a finishing touch
that acts as an enhancement to the window
rather than looking like an afterthought. The
analogy that some of my installer customers
use is that of the options on a car.You can
have cloth upholstery or you can have leather
interior.Visitors to our stand at the FIT Show
agreed that Topsill looks stunning and would be
a useable addition to their portfolio.

A DECADE OF SUCCESS
“The launch of Topsill backs up DecSTONE,
our full replacement window board solution
and skirting product, which is already flying. In
fact, we celebrated its 10th anniversary this
month on the 4th July and current figures
show that it is being installed in around 40 new
build conservatories or orangeries every week.
But we realised we were missing out on a huge
chunk of the market, the replacement window
and conservatory market,”
