The volume of aluminium quoted by installers on Tommy Trinder’s award-winning Framepoint app continues to surge, the business has reported. September saw £11m of aluminium products quoted to homeowners via the platform.
“Our numbers suggest that around two thirds of installers now include aluminium products in their portfolio,” said Chris Brunsdon, Tommy Trinder’s founder and CEO. “To keep with the demands of our users, the challenge has been to ensure Framepoint can cope with the complexity and options that aluminium provides whilst, as ever, keeping the app super simple and fast to use.”
The latest in a run of aluminium-orientated features launched by the firm is the ability to touch, show and price a wide range of interlocks on patio doors. On this, Chris added: “Demand for stylish aluminium sliding doors has soared in recent years, largely because they let homeowners flood their properties with natural light. Interlocks have become slimmer and slimmer as a result. Our latest release allows users to show clients the effect of a slim interlock in one touch – both up close and on the house.
“Seeing is believing when it comes to convincing homeowners to invest in premium products. We’re confident that being able to quickly and simply model the dramatic effect of these expansive glass areas will help installers win orders.”
A range of up to 5 interlocks can be configured in Framepoint, in sizes ranging from an ultra-slim 20mm up to 100mm. Sliders can be finished in any RAL colour in a tap, they say, and it’s one click to add finishing touches such as stainless-style ironmongery and flush thresholds.
“Customers love to try before they buy, and it’s a wow moment when you are able to bring all the design elements together in a few clicks and have them render in full photo-realistic detail,” said Chris.
