WARWICK NORTH WEST RENEWS SBD LICENCE

Leading trade fabricator

Warwick North West has sealed its commitment to customer security by renewing its SBD licence.

Having SBD accreditation means the Bootle-based company’s range of uPVC windows and doors are manufactured to offer the highest quality security –because they are endorsed by SBD, they can be trusted to afford maximum protection.

Director Greg Johnson comments: “We’ve been in this business for 25 years and we know how important security is for our customers.

This is why we’re pleased and proud to have renewed our SBD licence – having it means we can demonstrate our commitment to security in a clear and practical way.

“At Warwick North West we only use premium materials as well as hardware and locking systems when manufacturing our uPVC windows and doors. This ensures that our products achieve maximum security levels and are endorsed by Secured by Design.”

The company supplies a wide range of uPVC windows and doors, including Modus, a seven-chambered casement window that can achieve a U-value of 0.8.

Security elements are built into Warwick’s glazing products –for example, casement windows are designed to offer increased strength and security thanks to espagnolette and shootbolt locking, which give the end user ultimate peace of mind.

Secured by Design is owned by the UK Police Service and works to improve the security of buildings and their immediate surroundings, with the specific aim to reduce crime and help people live more safely. SBD is the only way for companies to obtain police recognition for securityrelated products in the UK.

Greg concludes: “Secured By Design gives homeowners, installers and developers the added peace of mind of knowing any accredited product has undergone a high level of stringent testing. Security is now becoming a top priority for homeowners, and at Warwick North West, we’re proud to successfully meet this increased demand.”

Leading aluminium bi-fold hardware supplier AT Precision has been confirmed as a finalist in this year’s National Fenestration Awards.

The Durham-based company is a specialist in aluminium bi-fold hardware, gaskets, security hardware and aluminium profile, and has been shortlisted in the ‘Door Component of the Year’ category.

Sales Director Michael Hewitt comments: “We’re delighted to have been shortlisted for this award, and would like to thank everyone who nominated us.

“Our team is dedicated to supplying the very best in aluminium bi-fold hardware, and this nomination is a testament to our hard work, as well as to the support of our valued customers.”

Working from a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, AT Precision supplies the Everglide range of bi-fold hardware, the Everseal range of gaskets, as well as security hardware, plastic ancillaries, and aluminium profile.

All products are compatible with all major systems, and because they’re made inhouse, come at a more affordable price compared to other suppliers.

The company also recently introduced a new Recycled Thermal Reinforcement (RTR) system to its production line – the new recycling scheme sees them picking up unused uPVC materials from customers, and processing this for the manufacturing of screw retention profile bars.

Michael concludes: “At AT Precision, we pride ourselves on supplying fabricators across the UK with affordable hardware, with no compromise on quality. Continual investment over the years has seen us improve our services, and we’re proud to have this recognised. We’re delighted to have been shortlisted in the NFA’s, and I’d like to take this opportunity to wish our fellow finalists the very best of luck.”
