Aluplast says that it will showcase its expanded product range, including a series of new innovations developed specifically for the UK, at Fensterbau Frontale 2020. The systems house adds that it will have one of the largest presences at the event, which is held in Nuremberg, Germany 18-21 March.
Innovations on display will include the latest colour options such as Aluplast’s newly launched premium jet black foil finish; Woodec, its ‘ultra-realistic’ premium woodgrain option; Ideal 70 and Ideal 4000, each now available in a grey core to compliment new foil options; the Aluplast flush casement; Aluskin, its aluminium external cladding system; and the German system house’s ultra-energy-efficient modular lift-and-slide door.
It will also unveil a brand-new range of aluminium-effect foils, designed to give installers the opportunity to accurately match aluminium systems in an energy efficient PVC-U product.
“Fensterbau is a truly global event and we’d encourage fabricators and installers to be part of it, come to the Aluplast stand and see first-hand how industry-leading product innovation is delivering new opportunity and already supporting our customers’ growth at home in the UK,” said Ian Cocken, director of sales and marketing, Aluplast.
“Right now, our scale is more important than ever because it means that we can continue to invest – and for the long-term – regardless of what is happening in specific local markets. That gives us incredible stability but also gives our customers access to leading-edge innovation in PVC-U building technologies.”
Aluplast unveiled its new jet-black, ‘true black’ finish last month. This follows the launch last year of Woodec, Aluplast’s next generation foil, which replicates the natural appearance of timber while combining it with the through-life advantages of PVC-U. These are available across Aluplast’s Ideal 70, Ideal 4000 and Lift-and-Slide ranges, with Lift-and-Slide and the contemporary SquareLine Ideal 4000, also available in Aluskin.
According to Aluplast, it has one of Europe’s most sophisticated and advanced extrusion operations, which exploits Ecotech extrusion technologies, isolating recycled content in the inner web of the profile leaving a virgin profile wall and ‘pristine’ surface finish.
Cocken continued: “We’re looking at the sustainability of our products, in life and at end of life. How we make them, how we recover material and use it effectively in a new generation of products – because it supports sales.
“We’re also constantly refining manufacturing process and introducing new installation efficiencies to give more margin back to fabricators and installers, while also helping them to win new business through innovation in product offer and aesthetics.
“It’s a 2020 approach to sustainability, making business sustainable and making product, sustainably – and it’s on show at Fensterbau this coming March.”
