Strong growth
‘flat’ market
Many have described the market this
year as ‘flat’, but Residence Collection,
the systems company that’s credited
with pioneering flush sash windows,
announced first half sales are up
a storming 20% year-on-year. And,
although people are describing it as
‘flat’, it’s estimated that in the first half
of 2017 the overall market was 3-5%
down on the same period last year.

growth for Residence
fabricators’ and installers’
has been with R9, the only
system designed specifically
to meet the demands of
planners for conservation
areas, listed buildings, heritage
and period properties, and
self-build. However, we are
also starting fabricators up on
just R7, which has just had
its marketing launch. R7 is
beautifully flush inside and
out, and suitable for properties
ranging from modern new
builds and city apartments to
country cottages and semi-
detached houses.
Residence Collection MD
Martin Dickie says: “Installer
and fabricator demand for R9
and now R7 is outstanding. It’s
supported by heavy investment
in the most powerful consumer
marketing lead generation
in the market, and stunning
marketing point of sale to help
installers sell to homeowners.
All this investment is focused on
driving sales opportunities and
improved margins.”

Epwin launches
Frontier range of
composite door leaves
» » OCTOBER 2017 WILL SEE
the launch of Frontier, Epwin
Window Systems’ new range of
composite door leaves. Gerald
Allen, Epwin Window Systems’
Marketing Manager, comments:
“The composite door market is
growing and Frontier will help
our customers make the most of
the opportunities available.”
As you would expect from
an Epwin product, the Frontier
composite door range delivers
excellence at every level.
The three ranges, classical,
contemporary and cottage, and
25 different designs mean there
is a style to suit every house
style while a wide range of
glazing options help consumers
to personalise their choice even
further.
A Frontier door has a beautiful
and unique thermoplastic
woodgrain finish to replicate
timber and give a more realistic
effect. The range is available
in a capsule collection of 10
popular colours, all with superior
scratch and abrasion resistance,
helping to keeping doors in
great condition for years to
come. COOLSKIN technology
minimises the amount of solar
heat absorption in order to
reduce the surface temperature
fluctuation throughout the day.
In addition to their excellent
weather stability the facings are
also highly durable with high
impact performance during
extremes of temperature.
Frontier doors are available in
slabbed or pre-prepped options
so Epwin Window Systems’
customers can choose which
works best for their business.
They are suitable for standard
or low-threshold doors, making
them suitable for all project types.
Prepped doors are supplied fully
edge banded for a sleek finish.
Suitable locks and door furniture
can be supplied through our
Safeware hardware division too.
Available in 44mm and 48mm
options, Frontier solid timber
core composite door leaves are
manufactured in the UK and
are designed to fit perfectly
into Epwin Windows’ profile
systems to enable its customers
to offer a complete composite
door solution. Frontier leaves
are compatible with Profile 22
(universal composite door outer
frame) CD70, Profile 22 Optima
chamfered and sculptured systems
plus Spectus Elite 70 bevelled and
ovolo systems.
The range also comes with
all the support that is needed
including full technical details
and marketing collateral
to enable Epwin Window
Systems’ customers to capitalise
on homeowners’ interest in
composite doors.
