NEW WINDOW AND DOOR GUIDE
»»THE GGF HAS
launched the updated “Guide
to Good Practice in the
specification, installation and
use of replacement windows
and doors within England and
Wales”.
Launched at The FIT Show
on 14 April by Michael Sulston,
GGF Technical Officer, this
latest publication is an update
of the 2011 version and is in
response to the recent revision of
the British Standard BS 8213-4:
2016 Windows and Doors –Part

4: Code of practice for the survey
and installation of windows and
external doorsets.
The new Guide has been
re-designed and edited by a
Technical Working Party of
the GGF Window and Door
Technical Committee. As well
as complementing the British
Standard, it reflects the feedback
received from GGF members,
along with the expertise of
specialists covering all the
elements of window surveying
and installation including;

window design, glazing
components and hardware for
both windows and doorsets.
The GGF has also added
important and helpful Good
Practice Notes throughout the
guide. Due to their protocols, the
British Standards Institute (BSI)
cannot include such notes within
their publications.
The new revised Guide is now
available for free download from
the Members Area of the GGF

need it.”

LEADS SOAR THANKS TO WEBSITE
»»ONE OF NORTHERN IRELAND’S
biggest and most respected installers,
Turkington Windows, has developed an
enviable reputation for quick lead times,
quality workmanship and exceptional produc t
choice.
Last year, however, Turkington’s management
team decided they needed help with their
marketing. They’d built an incredible business
with everything going for it but they wanted
expert assistance to take things to the next level.
That’s when Turkington called Purplex, the
industry’s go-to full-service marketing agency,
staffed by forty-plus experts in everything
from video production to SEO.

Turkington’s were unhappy with their
existing website, old, generic and not
specifically focused on either of the company’s
retail or commercial arms. After consulting
Turkington about its key business objectives,
Purplex set about constructing a fully
optimised, fully responsive best-in-class
customer-focused website.
Purplex drew up a content strategy, tailored
to Turkington’s products, services and target
audience. The Purplex team of in-house
copywriters produced blogs, news stories,
advice articles, white papers, opinion pieces
and more. Then Purplex’s Google-certified
digital team worked its SEO magic.

Turkington Sales and Marketing Manager,
Cary Hindman, says, “When the new website
launched, enquiries went through the roof.
We have been hugely impressed with Purplex’s
approach and the results they have achieved.”
