Winter Revenue Toolkit: Essential Product Focus and Installation Strategies for Trade Professionals
With winter upon us and the cost of living rising along with energy price caps, this is the perfect opportunity to sell high quality, thermally efficient upgrades to your customers.
Homeowners are actively seeking solutions that offer measurable return on investment through energy savings.
Therefore, this guide will cover the technical details and best practices needed to quote, specify and install these lucrative winter projects successfully with Glazerite.
Windows – The High Performance Glazing Upsell
When it comes to windows, specifications hold a lot of power. U-values and building regulation compliance is extremely important.
Here at Glazerite, our systems such as VEKA, Halo, The Residence Collection and more all meet or exceed current standards.
Some of our windows are also available with triple glazing upgrades or premium low emissivity glass which brings measurable energy savings for your customers.
At Glazerite, we only supply the highest quality uPVC window products to our trade professionals. So, when fitted, their proper sealing and insulation around the frame perimeter prevents thermal bridging.
Doors – Mastering Airtightness & Security
When it comes to doors, the technical components play an important role in preventing draughts.
High quality components such as multi chamber profiles, advanced gasketing/weather seals and the correct specification of a weather bar or low threshold create the anatomy of an airtight door.
When the hinges and keeps are adjusted correctly, this ensures the multi point locking mechanism achieves maximum compression on the seals, which is crucial for winter performance and keeping your customers warm in their homes.
Not only are high quality components important, but the quality of the door hardware is essential, not just for security but for maintaining the door’s long term thermal integrity.
At Glazerite, we offer one of the widest ranges of doors made from both uPVC and aluminium. They are all supplied with the Ultion Cylinder and Sweet Furniture as well as come with a 20 year guarantee for both yours and your customer’s peace of mind.
Conservatories – High Margin Structural Refurbishment
A conservatory roof replacement holds significant revenue potential. Converting to a Guardian Warm Roof is favoured by installers as its solid, high performing and thermally efficient features make it perfect for retro fit or new build projects.
This insulated roof system will help your customer’s homes become better ventilated and prevent common winter issues that lead to call backs.
However, we recommend that you assess the existing structure and foundation for thermal stability of your customer’s home before recommending a heavy roof conversion.
