Specialist fabricator, Mercury Glazing Supplies Ltd has confirmed its PVC-u vertical sliding window products now achieve an impressive U-value of just 1.3 W/m² and a WER of A+ as standard delivering exceptional thermal efficiency.

Chris Reeks, Mercury’s Sales and Marketing Director explains: “As a business we pride ourselves on offering our customers the best in energy efficient products and this has now been achieved throughout our PVC-u vertical slider range. Even more impressive is the fact that our new U-value of 1.3 W/m² has been achieved utilising our normal unit make up without the need for specialist gases, showing the quality of the products we manufacture. This improved U-value will become the standard across our PVC-u vertical sliding range giving our customers another added-value benefit.”

Established in 2002, Gloucester’s Mercury Glazing has a well-established reputation for being one of the industry’s most reliable specialist fabricators of PVC-u vertical sliders. Last year it improved its commercial reach even further by becoming the first fabricator to manufacture the new mechanically jointed vertical sliding window from Spectus. The new U-Value covers both their standard and mechanically jointed vertical slider range.

All vertical sliding products are manufactured by skilled and experienced operatives in Mercury’s state of the art manufacturing plant, guaranteeing a quality result every time. Customers also have the reassurance of Mercury’s commitment to a level of customer service that aims to build a long term relationship that helps make running a business easier.

Chris Reeks concludes, “We’ve built our name on supplying quality specialist products that add value to our customers’ businesses. The improved U-value achieved across our PVC-u vertical slider range is yet another example on how we continually deliver to ensure our customers have only the best.”

Solidor have just launched Cloud 2.0, which offers their trade partners a newly enhanced online experience, far beyond that of typical online ordering, to include live pricing, an online payment function for pro-forma customers and importantly, a revolutionary order tracking facility.

Taking on board typical customer experiences from the consumer sector, the new Solidor Cloud 2.0 offers far more functionality, with the ability for live costing, along with sales pricing and specification at the point of sale. Quotations can then be sent instantly to consumers, so that the process from enquiry to quotation becomes a more streamlined process, for both trade partner and consumer.

Solidor Cloud 2.0 is an online portal for all customer activity and the recent addition of order tracking is a major plus for installers looking to schedule the fitting of their composite doors, with information readily available 24/7 at the click of a mouse. Order received, in manufacture, quality control and despatched are the four different stages that are highlighted on the online portal with each order.

With OTIF levels consistently in excess of 99%, there’s also the reassurance of accurate information and the continued trust in the Solidor brand from their customer base. There are further important developments planned for Solidor Cloud 2.0 as part of their Network Development Programme, which will be implemented later in the year.

Gareth Busson, head of sales and marketing at Solidor Group commented: ‘Our new cloud functionality offers far more than just online ordering, as we’re building this into a complete information hub for customers, so they can manage all information relating to their account, orders and queries 24/7 and on any device. This is yet another compelling reason why customers choose Solidor, along with the powerful marketing campaigns and product rich features that we offer.’

Not only is Lock Lock taking the composite and entrance door market by storm, thanks to unrivalled product design, performance and longevity, but it is now the only security door handle with the coveted Sold Secure certification, that’s issued by the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA).

Sold Secure is the premier testing and certification house for security products, operated by the MLA and so the independent testing undergone on Lock Lock has been considerable. Now listed on www.soldsecure.com as the only entrance door handle to achieve this important certification, door manufacturers, installers and homeowners can be re-assured that the product has been tested to the highest standards, along with the unrivalled 200,000 cycle and 5,000+ hours salt spray testing credentials.

Lock Lock is also a TS007:2012 2 Star security handle and can be used with the impressive 3 Star Ultion cylinder with its £1,000 security guarantee and so combined, this makes for the most secure handle/cylinder combination in the door security market at present. With security still the number one driver in entrance door sales, this is an unrivalled product proposition for the trade and consumers.

Nick Dutton, CEO of Brisant Secure commented: ‘Like Ultion, Lock Lock is being adopted by many of the most prominent brands in the composite and residential door sectors in the UK and this also includes the PVCu and aluminium segments. As the only security handle with Sold Secure certification, it’s also testament that we’ve designed something that is not only beautiful thanks to its registered seamless and edgeless design but is unrivalled from a security perspective.’
