New Brochure
Deceuninck has a new brochure that explains what makes Deceuninck different, and why
fabricators and installers who want to be more competitive and grow should think of Deceuninck.
“It’s about our differentiated products and
innovations, and our
unique support package,” says Roy Frost,
Managing Director of
Deceuninck.
“It’s also about Deceuninck’s way of doing busi-
ness. As Peter Willemse MD
of Ryburne Windows says,
‘They make us feel part of
the Deceuninck family.’
“We’ve spelled this out
in a handy brochure,” Roy
says, “because for many
years Deceuninck’s kept
a low profile, and many
fabricators and installers
who want to become more
competitive and build a
sustainable business don’t
know us, or what’s special
about Deceuninck, and
what we have that will
help them grow at decent
margins. The new brochure
summarises the Deceuninck difference. We’ve got
three systems, not two,
for example. And they’re
extruded to more stringent tolerances than the
industry standard, so they
fabricate with less waste.
Our windows are designed
to appeal. A pretty window
doesn’t happen by chance.
They’re designed to stand
out and look better in the
home.”

“The latest Palmer
report, as detailed by
Clearview, confirms
what many have known
for a while – panels
have well and truly had
their day.
It predicts that by 2017
composite doors will
account for half the total
market – although I’d say
that’s an underestimation
(but I would!). It’s certainly not unexpected: D&G
Consulting’s annual reports
have regularly recorded a
decline in panels. And a
recent poll on an industry
blog revealed that several
companies couldn’t say how
many panels they’d installed
in the last year because they
no longer did any!
The rear guard defending
panels might argue that
there are some good ones,
but that’s like saying some
video tape recorders are
good. They’ve simply been
superseded by a better
product.
When Door-Stop began
five years ago, the writing
was already on the wall. A
long history of issues had
emerged with panel doors:
problems with security,
jamming, warping, bubbling
woodgrains or discolouration had been so severe and
common in previous years
they had a poor reputation,
and this hasn’t been shaken
off. Composites are more
reliable in every way, and
