PROUD SPONSOR OF DOORS & WINDOWS

Faster lead times announced
by Barnsley fabricator
Leading REHAU trade fabricator Euroglaze has announced
that lead times on its standard frames are now just
three working days for customers who order online.
» » THIS APPLIES TO ALL THE
standard REHAU products
which Euroglaze manufactures,
including casement windows,
doors, French doors, sliding
patios and PVCu bi-folds.
In practice, what the impressive
offer means is that customers who
have deliveries on Thursdays, for
example, can order up until 3pm
on Monday of that week, while for
customers who have deliveries on
Mondays, order cut off is 3pm on
the Wednesday of the week before.
The Barnsley-based company
is renowned for its advanced
lean production processes based
on Japanese manufacturing
philosophies, and Managing
Director Martin Nettleton says
the fast turnaround times are the
natural outcome of its efficient,
organised factory.
One customer who has been
impressed with the service and
lead times at Euroglaze is Rob
Stevenson, a director at Concept
Windows, based in Boroughbridge,
Yorkshire, which supplies PVCu
products to trade and retail
customers alongside manufacturing
its own aluminium frames. He
commented: “We have been paper
ordering anywhere between 20
and 70 REHAU frames a week
from Euroglaze since last year, and
we know that when we order on
Monday, our delivery will be with
us on time and in full on Friday.
“That’s impressive enough but,
if we switch to online ordering,
we can extend the order cut off
time to 3pm on Tuesday and give
our customers an extra 24 hours
at the start of the week to send in
any last-minute orders.
“We supply direct to installers
and local builders who rely on us
for fast turnaround and absolute
peace of mind that every order
will be complete. It costs them
money if a delivery is late or
they must wait for any part of
an order that is missing but,
with Euroglaze, that just doesn’t
happen.
“Euroglaze made lots of
promises about the quality and
service we could expect when we
started working with them last
year, and I can definitely say that
they’ve lived up to all of those.”

New run-through sash horns
» » A NEW RUN-THROUGH SASH
Horns design option is now available for
ECOSlide, the UK’s best-selling PVCu vertical
sliding sash windows.
This new design employs Victorian Sliders
expertise in design and manufacturing to
deliver an authentic top sash frame solution
with precise detailing and elegant aesthetic
appeal.
True to the design of original timber box
sash windows, the Run-Through Sash Horns
option looks quite unlike the standard mitre-
jointed PVCu sash frame construction and
provides the smooth and unbroken vertical
lines of mechanical-jointed details at the
top sash bottom rail frame intersections,
along with beautifully shaped and contoured
decorative sash horns.
These well-designed new Run-Through Sash
Horns were previewed at the FIT Show 2017
and received a highly positive response from
the hundreds of customers old and new who
visited Victorian Sliders’ eye-catching stand in
Birmingham’s NEC Hall 8.

century PVCu sash windows for conservation
area “heritage” projects.

commercial strategy to offer the very best
product solutions in terms of manufactured
