NUMBER OF ALUMINIUM INSTALLERS CONTINUES TO RISE
»»
THE NUMBER OF INSTALLERS offering aluminium products has grown by 41 % over the past five years and this number is expected to continue to increase . This is according to a recent report by the Council for Aluminium Building ( CAB ).
Once seen as a strictly commercial material , aluminium has achieved great success in the residential market as more homeowners become aware of the benefits of aluminium windows and doors such as slim sightlines , high performance and a wide range of colour finishes .
Aluminium is now considered superior or at least equal to PVCu in terms of energy efficiency , which has seen the material appeal to energy conscious consumers .
Spurred on also in part by aspirational home improvement shows such as Grand Designs which showcase the aesthetic qualities of the material , there has been a surge of premium aluminium products hitting the market .
Mike says reduced lead times on aluminium and more flexibility on colours and configurations means more installers are turning to offering aluminium to help boost sales .
However , he warns that it ’ s important for installers to choose a supplier who can offer the expertise and support they need .

THE ‘ MULTI ’ CHOICE FOR COMMERCIAL ALUMINIUM DOORS
»»
FABRICATORS OF THE Jack Door , from commercial systems supplier Jack Aluminium , can now use the same PAS 24-certified , multipoint locking system – whichever type of commercial door they are making .
The Iseo Multiblindo system comes in three styles – Classic , Easy Exit and Easy Exit eMotion – that can be configured for entrance doors , emergency exits and for remote access . The Multiblindo lock and F6 Extra S cylinder have been tested to PAS 24 on a Jack Door to prove their performance .
“ With PAS 24 now a standard specification for most commercial doors , it ’ s important to have hardware that fits the bill . Multiblindo is ideal as a multipoint device for a standard entrance door , but it ’ s also easy to upgrade the hardware to suit different door types ,” says Jeff
Pearson , Sales Director at Jack Aluminium .
“ We ’ re always looking for ways of strengthening Jack Aluminium ’ s service to customers , so Multiblindo has been tested with the Jack Door to PAS 24 . That means customers can use the same lock and cylinder , and then add suitable door furniture that ’ s right for each installation .
