Trade fabricator Fentrade Aluminium Building Products continues to offer added-value benefits to maximise market opportunities for its growing customer base. This is evident in the uptake for its high-security aluminium bifolding doors, which are fitted with upgraded hardware from VBH Q-Secure. Chris Reeks, Fentrade’s director, explained: “As a Q-Secure manufacturer, our customers have the choice to upgrade their bifold doors by fitting VBH Q-Secure hardware which forms part of the homeowner guarantee premium scheme. By upgrading to this enhanced security hardware option, the door becomes Q-Secure compliant and therefore gives our customers a further benefit to help close the sale into the domestic market.”
The VBH Q-Secure homeowner guarantee scheme is a level of homeowner protection. If entry is shown to be as a direct result of the hardware failing, VBH will pay up to £1,000 towards the cost of repair/replacing the door, up to £1,000 towards an insurance excess payment and a goodwill payment of £1,000 to the homeowner. Chris said: “This added level of protection gives homeowners complete peace of mind when it comes to home security and we have witnessed a surge in demand for this added-value option.”
The Newport-based fabricator manufactures the Aluk BSF70 bifold door, which offers an intelligent combination of form and function with open-in or open-out door options, available in a range of single or dual colours and anodised finishes. Chris said: “The growth in aluminium bifolding doors has grown exponentially since the first lockdown, as more consumers seek products to support their aspirational living. Our high-quality bifolding doors are manufactured in a range of RAL and non-RAL colour options with suited hardware for superior aesthetics. The Q-secure hardware upgrade presents a massive selling opportunity to offer the best in high-security aluminium bifold doors.”
