Grey trickle vents and woodgrain trend
Glazpart has extended its range of woodgrain trickle vents with the launch of silver oak which reflects an aged or weathered grey oak finish . The finish is now available on all trickle vent ranges and can be supplied mix and match especially white on silver oak . The vents include the link , standard , slim line and modular trickle vents in all current sizes . Also included is the range of flat grilles ideal for over frame , patio or bifold door applications . Also new for 2017 is a mill finish stainless steel ‘ silver ’ for use especially with aluminium or steel window systems . This highlights the potential for even more competitive metal finishes on a moulded trickle vent . Glazpart says house owners are looking for quality final touches to dress the windows that are a significant investment . Trickle
vents that blend into the window add one of those touches . This has been seen in the rise of many shades of grey such as anthracite grey ( 7016 ). Dean Bradley , sales and marketing manager said : “ The 2017 ‘ silver ’ colours extend for our customers the range of products that seamlessly blend and dress window frames and sashes . These match the increasing demand for coloured and foiled products .”

YORKSHIRE COMPANIES PIONEER DOOR DEVICE
Two Yorkshire companies have joined forces to create a device that fits door handles in less than five minutes . Sheffield-based product design consultancy AME Group helped develop the JigTech on behalf of Ossett-based Dale Hardware . Compared to traditional methods , the easy-to-use device saves contractors and fitters up to 20 minutes when installing a handle and latch to interior doors . AME Group developed the JigTech from concept through to prototyping , testing and volume manufacturing , drawing on its experience of developing tools for the DIY sector . The product incorporates an adjustable latch bore and self-centring clamp system that quickly marks out and guides the user when drilling a door . Using the jig alongside Dale ’ s door furniture , latch , and spacer system simplifies the installation process even further . Tim Stern , design manager at AME Group , said : “ JigTech has the potential to be a game
changer for the building and DIY trade .”
