New brochure brings leads for Viiu Key Dealers
A stylish new brochure
is helping customers of G
Award-nominated ultra-slim
sliding door brand Viiu
make sales and grow their
businesses.
Launched just last year,
the stunning Viiu door has
already taken the market by
storm with its floor-to-ceil-
ing aesthetics, flawless func-
tionality and PAS24-2016-ac-
credited security.
But Viiu is more than just
a door. It’s a comprehensive
package designed to help
discerning companies sell -
and the new brochure is the
latest tool in that arsenal,
as Sales Director Rod Tate
explains.
Viiu Key Dealers also
receive extensive training
and geographical exclusivity
in their area.
The Viiu door boasts
ultra-slim sightlines, secure
laminated glass through-
out and an ingenious,
unobtrusive design. Viiu’s
outer-frame is entirely built
into the façade, giving it the
appearance of an uninter-
rupted wall of glass.
A patented adjustable
interlock section allows per-
fect alignment to maximise
performance and aesthetics
- and was robust enough
to make Viiu the UK’s first
PAS24-2016-accredited ul-
tra-slim sliding door.
What’s more, a motorised
option is also available –
and its drive gear is dis-
creetly housed in the unit’s
100mm head profile, which
itself is hidden behind the
building’s façade.

HANDLES WITH A TWIST
Glutz is launching a new suite
Endless possibilities with
brand-new Tilbrook
composite door
of architect-designed handles and
associated hardware that is both
beautifully functional and function-
ally beautiful. Created by architect
and designer Stephan Hürlemann
and named after his home town, the
Glutz Appenzell collection features
sophisticated geometry with a
cleverly designed “kink” that leaves
ordinary round profile return-to-
door designs looking mundane in
comparison.
The range, manufactured by
Glutz, comprises eight different ver-
sions for solid leaf or metal frame
Astraseal, one of the UK’s
leading trade and commercial
fabricators is aiming to open new
doors for their customers with
the launch of Tilbrook, the firm’s
brand-new, high-performance
composite door solution.
Designed to comple-
ment Britain’s ever-popu-
lar 1930s housing stock,
Tilbrook allows homeown-
ers to have the tradition-
al aesthetics of timber
without compromising on
modern-day performance.
Whilst the door is com-
pression moulded to create
a high-definition panel
design with the charac-
ter of timber, the slab is
manufactured from durable
thermoset GRP.
The stiles and rails of the
Tilbrook door are manufac-
tured using water-resistant
polymer which is bonded
to the GRP skin and then
filled with an insulating
core of 100% CFC-free
polyurethane. Available
pre-hung into a REHAU
fully enforced GRP frame,
Tilbrook can be finished
in any RAL colour, in a
wide range of designs and
with a full range of high-
spec furniture and glazing
options.
“We are absolutely
delighted to unveil the
Tilbrook composite door,
a product which I’m sure
will generate a fantastic
response from both our
trade partners and their
customers,” comments
Colin Stanley, Operations
Director at Astraseal.

cape door handles, through to win-

end residential development with

able for installation in smoke and
