The integration of door panels within Hurst Live will further simplify the process of ordering door panels and enable installers to secure more sales. Demand has also risen for door panel designs that mimic composite doors. Hurst has also upped production rates of its Modern Collection of contemporary, European-styled designs. With fresh, distinctive panels, every design is enhanced with stainless steel to cater for the more cosmopolitan end-user. As homeowner tastes evolve, Hurst is anticipating an increased demand for panels in rich, fashionable shades such as Anthracite Grey. Hurst’s comprehensive range of coloured door panels now includes five woodgrains, plus around 12 foiled finishes as standard. The company also offers a totally unique digital glass printing service which enables installers to design bespoke glazing for customers. www.hurst-plastics.co.uk de e na tio nw id FR EE liv er y »»SUSTAINED GROWTH AT HURST Plastics has prompted the company to further strengthen its installer business package. Mark Atkinson, sales and marketing director Hurst Plastics, explains: “The door panel may be a mature product, but Hurst continues to buck the trend and is maintaining a steady growth in this sector. “Last year was a good year for us in panels and we are projecting growth of around 3% next year, which surpasses industry-wide predictions for this product. In an era where many companies have abandoned the panels market, we are delighted to be investing and growing our brand to maintain our lead in the market. “Our installer package equips Hurst customers with the tools they need to promote themselves and sell to the homeowner. The next stage in the development of this package has been to fully integrate door panels into our ‘Hurst Live’ trade package. Customers will be able to access technical data, track and trace orders and configure order and price door panels.” Increase your profits with Vertical Sliders ‘A’ RATED AS STANDARD WIDE RANGE OF COLOURS Standard or Runthrough Sash Horns Lifetime guarantee on balances Arched frames available Top Quality Products and Service Call today for more details Quotes faxed back within the hour Tel: 0114 240 2049 or fax: 0114 245 2923 Email: [email protected] Visit: www.tradesashwindows.co.uk 82 » M AY 2016 » CL EARVI E W- UK .
