37 PRO INSTALLER JUNE 2015 PRO NEWS @proinstaller1 A BRIGHT NEW LOOK New-look pro tapes for Synseal’s popular Shield and SynerJy PVCu profiles are being introduced during 2015. An online survey was conducted to test installer perceptions of a number of different pro tape options including a plain white design, a multi-lingual design featuring the six most popular languages used by tradesmen working on British construction projects (English, Welsh, Gaelic, Polish, Punjabi and Gujarati) and an eco-friendly ‘remove and recycle’ design. “The research gave us an undisputed winner” says Mark Schlotel, Synseal’s Head of Marketing. “The dual-colour design with ‘remove and recycle’ messaging was clearly the favourite and there’s no doubt that these new pro tapes, featuring our distinctive Shield and SynerJy logos, will be a big improvement to replace the existing mono-colour designs. Pro tape is an important element in our offering, protecting the extruded PVCu profiles through the ‘a big improvement to replace the existing mono-colour designs’ processes of despatch, fabrication, delivery to site and installation where it is viewed by the homeowners and only removed as a final fit operation.” Printed with the messages ‘Lead-free PVCu profile / Remove this protective foil immediately after installation / This protective foil is recyclable’ these eye-catching new pro tapes will be introduced in phased fashion during the year as existing stocks of the old Shield and SynerJy pro tapes are exhausted. www.synseal.co.uk Google Partnership Status Purplex Marketing, the window industry PR, digital and creative agency, has gained another accolade from Google.
