WORKING SMARTER – WHEN SIZE REALLY DOES MATTER !
Designed by one of its customers , Kyle Gamble , a young contractor from St Albans , Super Rod has announced ‘ Duoxim Arbor ’. The new product is designed to make the installation of new fire rated downlights easier when it comes to having to widen a hole for them to fit .
This is a problem Kyle has encountered first hand , when he was faced with an install of over 200 downlights , all with the same issue , coupled with a customer who did not want to redecorate . With this in mind Kyle came up with a solution and set about thinking of how he could bring his idea to market .
Six months later , after contacting and working with Super Rod , the finished product is now about to hit the stores in the UK and will be demonstrated at all of this year ’ s Elex trade shows starting from 1st February 2017 .
