Phil Warren , Sales Director at Listers Central says : “ Combining bifold and patio doors , as well as windows and garage doors , Räum is perfectly placed to help our customers tackle the changing market , capitalising on the demand for aluminium but also for premium home improvements .”
The star of the Räum collection is the luxury patio door system , which delivers an expert balance of strength and performance with ultra-slim aesthetics to create a fully uncompromised aperture to connect the home with an outside space . With openings of six metres available , the Räum patio system is a highly-desirable , contemporary solution for both renovations and new-build projects .

To be expected from Listers , we will also provide full support including showroom literature and samples as well as a complete premium marketing package .”

RUN THROUGH SASH HORNS ADDEDTO HERITAGE PORTFOLIO
»»
NOTTINGHAMSHIRE ’ S NOVA Trade Frames is now offering its trade customers the most authentic heritage-style PVC-U windows on the market , with the introduction of Run Through Sash Horns for its Heritage and TOTAL70 profiles .
Nova Trade Frames is an Authorised REHAU partner and fabricator of high quality windows , doors and conservatories . The family business supplies trade and retail customers nationwide and recently invested £ 10,000 in a new end miller machine to create the run through horns for its bestselling REHAU profiles .
Run Through Sash Horns were an original feature on wooden sash windows to stop them from opening too far . Thanks to the modern engineering of PVC-U windows , the horns aren ’ t required from a functional point of view anymore , but for a truly authentic finish on a vertical slider , they are a must .
Nova Trade Frames has been offering the integral Run Through Sash Horns on its profiles since the new manufacturing equipment was installed in February , and the company now sells very few Heritage windows without them included in the spec .
Alex Hunt , Managing Director of Nova Trade Frames said : “ In the past we had bought in the Run Through Sash Horns from a competitor as a specialist item for customers requesting it , but with the numbers we were doing on the Heritage windows side of our business , it just made more sense to invest
in the equipment to create the Run Through Sash Horns ourselves .”
Rick Cole , Area Sales Manager from REHAU said : “ Innovation in the glazing industry doesn ’ t always mean looking forward , it can also mean creating the most traditional period windows to suit the needs of olderstyle properties . By investing in machinery to deliver seamless Run Through Sash Horns , Nova Trade Frames has taken the authenticity of our Heritage frames a step further , and we wish them every success with their new venture as their bespoke offer will certainly set them apart from the crowd .”
Nova Trade Frames has been making PVC-U windows since 1983 and has been a REHAU Authorised Partner for almost a decade . Its Heritage windows are available in the full range of REHAU laminate foil colours , providing endless possibilities for period properties .
