FIT SHOW 2017 COMPREHENSIVE SPECIFICATION GUIDE » » To mark the 10th anniversary of the sale of the very first length of its profile, Liniar launched its brand new Specification Guide at the FIT Show – providing architects and fabricators with comprehensive information on the entire range. The stylish, 234-page full colour book contains all of the information that anyone could possibly need to know when it comes to specifying the innovative company’s windows, doors, conservatory roofs, building supplies and outdoor range. “It’s been a huge task to collate all of this information in one attractive, easy to understand document, but the finished article looks outstanding,” said Chris Armes, Liniar’s Design & Development manager. “We launched our first Specification Guide in April 2015, which covered our window and door range in 96 pages. “Since then we’ve launched the Alumina bi-fold as well as the EnergyPlus 90 system and building supplies, while also adding our roof range along with the outdoor products we produce – decking kits, fencing and plastic piling. “The fact that the size of the guide has increased so dramatically just goes to show the scope of how big the Liniar range is now.” View online at www.liniar. co.uk/specification-guide or order a free hard copy at www. liniarspecguide.co.uk/liniarweb Nikki Dunbar, Liniar’s Design & Marketing Co-ordinator, with the new Specification Guide A CHANCE TO SEE CAPABILITES FIRST-HAND » » High quality visits from decision makers, the launch of System 700 – Roto/PN’s new fully reversible hardware, freshly baked cookies and SmartSecure developments showcased on the stand combined to make this year’s FIT Show extremely successful for Carl F Groupco. The show marked the first anniversary of SmartSecure since its launch at last year’s ‘FIT’. As part of the anniversary achievements, Carl F Groupco has achieved its goal of providing a smart hardware hub based on its electronic locking and smart access solutions. Commenting, Carl F Groupco’s Managing Director, John Crittenden said: “We are very much about personalised service and support. The FIT Show is therefore the ideal opportunity for us to meet up with our existing clients and showcase our range to potential customers. The exhibition also offers the chance for people to try our products and technology – this is particularly helpful for SmartSecure: once people have seen first-hand how simple and effective our smart solutions are, it is much easier to convey its capabilities.” Carl F Groupco had expanded its stand to 96 sq metres. The company has also secured a place for the 2019 show. www.carlfgroupco.co.uk, www.smartsecure.co.uk INUNDATED WITH MEMBERSHIP ENQUIRIES » » The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) was delighted to be part of the FIT Show held at Birmingham’s NEC from 23rd - 25th May.
