SALES SKY ROCKET WITH COLOUR
» » INCREASED COLOUR CAPABILITY
drove a 28% jump in sales in 2017, according
to long-time Deceuninck fabricator Mr
Window.
The Essex fabricator, whose customer base
is split 38% commercial, 31% retail and 31%
trade, reported that the range and availability
of colour in stock from Deceuninck drove
sales which rocketed past general market
growth.
Deceuninck offers 26 colourways with
colour matched ancillaries and trims from
stock at its warehouse in Calne. From
stock means availability is certain on next
delivery.
Glen Cain, Managing Director of Mr
Window, says: “Colour is the future. People
don’t want white PVC-U anymore. Colours,
particularly soft greens, are growing in
popularity at an unbelievable pace simply
because end-customers want more from their
windows than the bog standard.
“We listen to them and give them what they
want; if our customers want a pink window we’ll
give it to them. That attitude plus Deceuninck’s
quick turnaround guaranteed availability – a
service no one else seems to be able to match – is
what’s setting us apart from the competition.
Our competitors offer colour, but they can’t get it
to customers as fast or as reliably as us.”
