JUNE 2017 | 23 News Read online at www.proinstaller.co.uk DEMAND CONTINUES FOR LARGE BI-FOLDS Edgetech Super Spac- er® customer JWC Group has seen big increases in the number of large units required for bi-folding and sliding doors. Jim Churchill, manag- ing director at JWC Group explains: “The biggest trend at the moment is bi-folding doors, the perfect solution for homeowners looking to improve their living areas by merging inside and outside spaces. “By taking note of end-us- er trends, we can adapt our product range so it’s focussed on helping our installer customers meet homeowner demand. “That’s why we started using Super Spacer six years ago. With Window Energy Ratings being so widespread, we needed a product that helped us to offer A-rated, warm edge windows that stand the test of time. “Super Spacer is a high-specification product and the industry-leading guarantee is a massive bonus that we can give to customers. As well as offer- ing thermal efficiency, Super Spacer is quick to apply, so it gives us the best produc- tivity with reduced labour costs.” Another trend the Rother- ham-based IGU manufactur- er and fabricator is looking to capitalise on is coloured profile. Jim continues: “Homeown- ers don’t just want white or dark brown windows anymore, they’re looking for more varied and stylish options. That’s why we’ve also invested in a spray shop to help installers offer more PVCu colour choices for end-users. Super Spacer is the ideal product for this trend too due to the unique way the foam material reflects the frame. This sim- plifies our component stock requirements as we don’t have to carry many different colours of spacer bar.” For more information on JWC Group, visit: http://www.jwc-group. co.uk/.
