HARDWAREEXTRA HARDWARE SPECIALISTS TO BRING NEWLY EVOLVED PRODUCTS TO MARKET Tim Ferkin, Sales & Marketing Director » » HARDWARE SPECIALIST Caldwell UK has radically improved two of its products in a move that will see its customers benefit from better systems at no extra cost. Caldwell are now at the end of the process of improving and re- engineering its Ultra Lift (UL2) and Torso spring balances so that they are even higher performing. From August, UL2 will be replaced by the Ultra Lift 6 (UL6) and in June Torso will be replaced by the new Torso II version. Darren Murphy, Director of Operations at Caldwell, comments: “We have spent months of design and engineering time to bring these new and improved products to market. There are no extra costs incurred from this process and the new products will not impact on our customer’s current manufacturing or fitting processes. “Each product brings significant advantages to the manufacturer and end-user. For example, Torso II will be able to hold a higher weight within a 19-millimetre tube diameter as opposed to a 25-millimetre diameter.” The standard Ultralift balances can be specified for use in both tilt-in and standard sash windows. A double sprung design means they can offer the end user up to 80% increased mechanical advantage compared with standard operation. Like Ultralift balances, the Torso models are double sprung to give the end user significant levels of mechanical assistance Why not fabricate aluminium bi-folds by choosing One bi-fold hardware range for all Systems when operating the window. Torso balances, however, can cater for much heavier sash weights, supporting sashes from 3kg – 60kg. Tim Ferkin, Sales & Marketing Director, comments: “We greatly value the business relationship we have with each customer, which is why we are delighted to be launching our new and improved products. Not only do they offer significant performance benefits they can be delivered on faster lead times too – speeding up the manufacturing process.” The updated products form part of a £1 million investment programme, that will see Caldwell roll out a number of UK first’s in the coming weeks. http://www.caldwell.co.uk/ systems? • CE COMPLIANT • BAR LENGTH PROFILES & HARDWARE Various finishes in stock • INCREASE YOUR PORTFOLIO Incorporate an aluminium bi-fold at very little cost • REDUCE YOUR STOCKHOLDING Less components to fabricate your bi-fold door • REDUCE YOUR LEAD TIMES Weekly deliveries nationally • INCREASE YOUR TURNOVER & PROFIT No minimum order / stillages, with minimal outlay System features • Buy DIRECT from a manufacturing specialist • Aluminium Bar Lengths available • Thermally Broken Flush Tracks as standard • Technical Support and Hardware Catalogues Hardware features • The ONLY universal inline fully concealed bi-fold door gear, • Compatible with aluminium, glass, timber, ali-clad & PVCu • Hidden Tracks and Concealed Rollers • Inward and Outward Opening • Hidden Rollers (top hung & bottom rolling) 0845 644 6630 www.foldnslide.net [email protected] C L E A RV I E W-U K .
