INSTALLERS QUOTE OVER £34MILLION ON FRAMEPOINT® IN JANUARY

Tommy Trinder, pioneers of Framepoint® technology, are seeing record levels of activity on their Framepoint® ap; £34.2million of work was quoted via the platform in January alone.

“Quoting on Framepoint® is fast; it saves installers time,” says founder Chris Brunsdon. “In an effort to claw back valuable hours our existing subscribers are quoting more and more of their work through the platform. This, together with activity from new subscribers that are coming on board every day, is really causing the numbers to surge.” Launched just over a year ago, the Tommy Trinder story is certainly one of rapid growth. In January 2020 a total of 800 quotes were prepared by installers on the platform, compared to over 6300 in January 2021. The firm boasts that in the last year more than 19,000 homeowners have received a quote generated by Framepoint®. High average quote values are also a feature of the activity; the average quote prepared for a homeowner on Framepoint® is over £5,300 and rising. Explains Chris: “Framepoint® allows installers to show off premium features such as foils, dual colours, dummy vents, mechanical joints, flush casements and surface mounted bars really easily. It’s no surprise that this helps installers upsell.” Installers can find out more about Framepoint® and book a free demo at www.tommytrinder.com.

LIGNUM, BY THE JOINERY NETWORK, IS YOUR GOLDEN TICKET FOR MORE PROFIT IN 2021

To combat lead time issues on PVCu, there’s never been a better time for installers to look at adding timber to their range, and The Joinery Network’s new Lignum suite of timber windows & doors could be the golden ticket for more profit in 2021.

The Joinery Network, the co-operative set up to support joinery manufacturers and improve quality in the timber industry through genuine certification, has launched Lignum - the UK’s first timber window and door system that fully complies with Building Regulations. The Lignum range by The Joinery Network is the first complete UK timber window & door system with full PAS 24:2016, Document Q, BS 6375: 1, Document L1B, and Document M certification, available exclusively to joinery manufacturers. “Timber windows and doors have become one of the fastest growing home improvement and construction products post-lockdown,” says Owen Dare, one of the Founder Directors of The Joinery Network. “Windows are no longer a distress purchase – instead, homeowners choose to improve their homes with new windows that add style and character and meet demands for more sustainable products. Timber is the ideal choice for this, and we believe Lignum by The Joinery Network is the golden ticket for glazing installers.” Fully accredited and designed for UK homes, the Lignum range includes flush casement, box sash and spring balance vertical sliding windows, along with French, single, entrance and bifold doors. Owen adds: “The Joinery Network was formed to deliver safe and legal PAS 24:2016 certification for timber windows and doors, creating more opportunities for joinery manufacturers.”

Window & door manufacturers can choose the products they need, get licences for each product against each test result, and cascade the data to use as their own.
