Keeping Ahead: How Glazerite is Shaping the 2024 Install Landscape
In the rapidly evolving glazing market, staying competitive requires more than just offering “standard” products. Installers today face a dual challenge: meeting the technical demands of tightening building regulations while satisfying homeowner cravings for high-end aesthetics.
At Glazerite, we aren’t just reacting to these trends, we are anticipating them. Through strategic site expansions and elite supplier partnerships, we are equipping our partners with the portfolio they need to win more business in 2024.
Elevating the uPVC Standard: The Deceuninck Expansion
Last year, we introduced the Deceuninck 2500 bevelled system to bridge a gap in the commercial and modern-residential markets. The response was so significant that we have now opened our dedicated Barnsley site to streamline the manufacture of both the 2500 and 2800 systems.
For installers, this means better lead times on a profile that offers:
- Clean, Sharp Aesthetics: Ideal for contemporary new-builds.
- Thermal Excellence: Achieving U-values as low as 0.86 W/m²K.
- Installer-First Design: A 70mm multi-chambered system that is straightforward to glaze and fit.
The Aluminium Revolution: EdgeGLIDE+® and AluK
Aluminium continues to dominate the “aspirational” home improvement sector. To ensure our installers are the first choice for homeowners looking for that sleek, minimalist look, we have bolstered our 2024 offering with AluK casement and tilt-and-turn windows, alongside the premium EdgeGLIDE+® sliding door.
These aren’t just products; they are solutions for the “indoor-outdoor” living trend that shows no signs of slowing down.
Strategic Partnerships: Adding Value Beyond the Frame
We believe the best installations are completed with the best accessories. Our 2024 partnerships are designed to help you upsell and differentiate:
- Morley Glass & Uni-Blinds®: By integrating high-end blinds within the glass unit, you offer homeowners a maintenance-free, sleek solution that standard curtains can’t match.
- The Future of VEKA: We are working closely with VEKA on their upcoming revolutionary system, ensuring Glazerite installers are the first to access the next generation of uPVC technology.
