There can be a considerable amount of ‘noise’ in the glazing
market as manufacturers compete for the attention of architects and specifiers.
To cut through some of that noise, we’ve created a list of 10 reasons why it

remarkable, with experts from every field contributing to our successful,
customer-focused approach.
2. Outstanding specification support
We take pride in understanding the challenges faced by the
commercial sector and have created an outstanding support system. Our
Specification Manager’s support will be available throughout. Typically, our input
can involve site surveys, advice on specifications and current Building

approval, budgeting advice, residents’ meetings or site visits.

We have an in-depth knowledge of the construction industry
and a thorough understanding of contracts and Building Regulations.

production facilities, our standards are high. We aim to deliver best practice in
everything we do.
