Premier Conservatory Supplies’ Guardian Warm Roof Roadshow is Most Successful Ever

Manchester’s first-ever Guardian Warm Roof Roadshow has been confirmed as the most successful ever. It was hosted by Bolton-based Premier Conservatory Supplies Ltd. (www.premier-supplies.co.uk). More than 100 North West-based conservatory installers attended the event at the Novotel in Worsley last month. 17 installers signed up on the spot.

Timberweld® cornering the market, literally!

Sales for masterframe sash windows have been given a boost this year as we’d seen six new licenses granted to casement manufactures wishing to make welded, butt joint windows and find a sash window to match. Every fabricator knows welding mitred joints being fully produce, being fully automated, mechanical joints however, are slow, time consuming and labour intensive. However homeowners who invest in expensive, highly detailed products much prefer the wooden appearance that butt joints have on timber windows and doors. A new method of construction is needed, one that means the edges could be sealed (as welded joints) yet still […]
