SWANSEA COMPANY GOES FROM
STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
» » AB GLASS, THE SWANSEA-BASED
company that specialises in the manufacture
and installation of aluminium windows, doors
and curtain walling, has reported a record-
breaking financial year for 2016.
AB Glass’ turnover has risen by 10 percent
for the 2016 financial year period. The
company’s margin has increased by over 112
percent, which has been attributed to more
efficiency in operations and management
systems.
These latest annual results are evidence
that AB Glass has gone from strength to
strength over the past two financial accounting
periods.
Showing its commitment to training and
welfare, AB Glass has spent over £3 million on
staff and associated costs during the past 12
months. This has included support provided
to apprentices and training for employees in
general.
Alan Brayley, Managing Director of AB
Glass, commented: “We are very pleased with
the annual results and continuing our strategy
of well managed and planned growth, whilst
building a resilient and robust business geared
around quality of product and staff. I am
confident that we will further build on AB
Glass’ success in the year ahead.”
Sales Still Soaring for Heritage Six Months On
» » THE HERITAGE WINDOW
Collection was set to be the most talked
about brand in 2017 and just six months
after launch, sales are continuing to climb as
more people discover the benefits of this true
timber alternative.
“We’re not surprised by the success of the
Heritage Window Collection because we
work hard to design and deliver products
the market wants,” says Deceuninck’s Rob
McGlennon, “but our customers tell us
they’ve been particularly impressed with the
whole package of innovative products and all-
encompassing marketing support. They tell us
their installer customers have been impressed
too. As soon as people see it - whether
fabricator, installer or homeowner – they
want it, which is why demand is showing no
signs of slowing down.
“True innovation doesn’t come along
that often, especially innovation that
offers fabricators and installers a real sales
opportunity, but that’s exactly what the
new Heritage Window Collection by
Deceuninck has done. It meets the market
demand perfectly and as a result is helping to
drive new business. That’s why the Slider24
sliding door from the Collection has recently
reported a production rate of 1000 doors per
month.”

IN WINDOW INTEGRITY
» » THE BAYPOLE JACK FROM
Window Widgets stops windows
moving and bricks cracking, so
installers know their windows
will be safe and structurally
secure for the long term. Window
Widgets is the leading supplier
of ancillaries that make installing
windows and doors easier and
safer.
Window Widgets’ jack is CE
marked and BBA accredited. It
is certified by itself, and tested
and certified to be used with the
Window Widgets baypole.
Managing Director Martin
Dickie says: “There wasn’t a
BBA accreditation for jacks,
so we worked with the BBA to
create one. Our baypole and
jack have been tested separately
and together. Testing them
together means we know they
join correctly and can hold the
weight they need to without
breaking.
