COMPLEMENTARY HARDWARE BROCHURE LAUNCHED
Glazerite customers will now be able to show homeowners a clearer picture of their hardware choices with the launch of a dedicated brochure for them to use in conjunction with existing VEKA marketing material.
Director Jason Thompson explained: “The VEKA literature features generic installation pictures from a number of manufacturers and installers who all use different hardware from various sources.
“Our bespoke hardware brochure shows the quality of the fittings used whilst also explaining in laymen’s terms the features and benefits to the homeowner. We have now made it easier for homeowners to clearly see the options available all in one place, which in turn helps them make a more informed decision by using this brochure alongside the VEKA material.” Trade customers are able to show consumers details such as Glazerite’s choice of offset handle, as well as locking mechanisms, door handles and of course the choices of hardware colours. The brochure also explains how the company offers a ten year guarantee on all of its hardware and how consumers can upgrade their security options and even gain the benefits of being covered by the Maco Secure Plus scheme.
