»»
DECEUNINCK ’ S SALES CONTINUE to surge and are 15 % up year-to-date . May ’ s sales were the highest ever recorded , a staggering 22 % up on May 2017 .
Managing Director Rob McGlennon says the company ’ s sustained growth is down to
Deceuninck ’ s lead on colour and # BestInClass products , like the award-winning Heritage Flush Sash . Deceuninck has near-perfect delivery scores too , with 99 % OTIF ( On Time In Full ) recorded for both April and May , a remarkable achievement given Deceuninck ’ s extensive colour from stock range .
Rob says : “ Sales have skyrocketed in the first six months of 2018 while many in the market have slipped back , and we ’ re confident we will continue to grow fast . It ’ s down to giving our customers the products and service to stand out and sell more . Our Heritage Flush Sash is a real star and now accounts for 22 % of our total sash sales . Remarkably , these are additional sales for Deceuninck , and it ’ s a similar story for our customers . Product is only half the story - our customers know they can rely on Deceuninck to deliver on time and in full , every time .”

ENJOY THE VIIU
»»
VIIU ( PRONOUNCED ‘ view ), the outstanding slim-line sliding door taking the market by storm , has become the first product of its type to pass the new more stringent security standard PAS24-2016 .
Viiu offers ultra-slim sightlines , secure laminated glass throughout and an ingenious , unobtrusive design . With the outer-frame entirely built into the façade , it gives the appearance of a wall of glass , strong enough to support moving glass sections of up to
750kg , and fixed glass sections up to 1200kg .
But it ’ s the product ’ s unusually slim but robust interlock section that ’ s allowed it to achieve much sought-after PAS24-2016 accreditation .
“ The PAS24-2016 process is extremely challenging ,” explains Viiu Sales Director Rod Tate . “ It was recently updated to stipulate the interlocks should not part by 50mm under 450kgs of force from both sides . As a result , most systems on the market found

themselves in trouble . They simply hadn ’ t been designed to withstand that level of force .
“ A simple look at the shape and size of the Viiu interlock shows that by design it has the strength required to pass the test . We have video evidence showing there was no gap at all between Viiu ’ s inside and outside interlock .”

Next-gen renovation window ‘ the preferred solution ’
»»
JANISOL ARTE 2.0 , THE SECONDgeneration renovation window from steel systems specialist Schueco Jansen , is proving popular with architects because of its enhanced specification , improved performance characteristics and ability to satisfy the aesthetic concerns of local authority planners and conservation officers .
Now being seen as the preferred solution for many refurbishment projects , especially those involving a listed building , elegantly ‘ retro ’ Janisol Arte 2.0 offers an enlarged range of profiles with slim sight-lines from 25 mm .
Available in all the opening types commonly encountered in both pre- and post-war industrial buildings , maximum vent weights have increased to 150 kg thanks to the introduction of state-of-the-art , 3D adjustable stainless steel hinges .
Another benefit is that simpler fabrication techniques reduce manufacturing time by up to 85 %, meaning that six and a half Janisol Arte 2.0 vents can be produced in the time it took to make a single vent in the previous system .
Clients can opt for Janisol Arte 2.0 profiles in high-grade austenitic 1.4401 stainless steel or Corten steel , completing a specification that is thought to be unmatched by any other renovation window on the market .
