FIT SHOW 2016 OUT-STAND-ING! Liniar scoops FIT Show award with Alumina bi-fold buzz »»New product launches, dazzling design, a classy coffee bar, sketch video, touchscreen table and enthusiastic staff all combined to earn Liniar the prestigious award for the Best Stand Over 80m² at the 2016 FIT Show – and the exhibition proved to be a great success all round. Liniar’s new aluminium bi-folding doors caused a real stir among visitors, with many taking some convincing that they weren’t PVCu. Designed by the same team of experts as the Liniar window system, the foiled and sculptured finish of the Alumina by Liniar bi-folds attracted a constant flow of interested parties. FANTASTIC REACTION Kevin Richards, Managing Director of Senator Windows, couldn’t contain his excitement: “Wow! The Liniar team have done it once again with the Al umina bi-folding door outstanding strength, security and thermal efficiency in one aluminium bi-fold. The fact that it’s the first of its kind to be 58 M AY 2 01 6 sculptured and foiled makes it an industry first. Our customers are going to love it!” QUALITY PRODUCTS Also on show were Liniar’s ModLok™ bi-folding doors, which although dwarfed by Alumina, still raised eyebrows with their patented aluminium reinforcement and locking mechanism and the smooth operation of each door. Installers who had traditionally shied away from PVCu bifolds were convinced by the ModLok’s strength, and this was further corroborated with Liniar being presented with PAS24 and Secured By Design status on the stand itself. With demonstration and full-size models of the Liniar conservatory roof kit and the soon-to-be-launched fascia and soffit range, together with flush sash windows making an appearance at their second FIT Show, Liniar certainly had enough on display to prove its status as one of the most innovative systems companies.
