HiTech Blinds has said levels of interest in its new aluminium TRL90 rooflight, which features an automatic integrated blind as standard, at this year’s FIT Show far exceeded its expectations.
Suitable for new build installation or retro-fit across residential and commercial markets, the slimline HiTech aluminium TRL90 rooflight, is supplied with a white pleated and fully retractable, remote-controlled integrated blind, as standard – a unique offer in the UK.
Officially launching the HiTech TRL90 at this year’s expo, Ian Woolley, sales director at HiTech Blinds, said the response from installers and fabricators interested in becoming supply partners had been ‘immense’.
He said: “We’d received a lot of interest in the TRL90 in the run up to the show. The market for rooflights is growing anyway but the demand that we have seen for the TRL90 rooflight as a product with a definitive USP within that sector, has been immense.
“We had a very simple message: ‘if you’re selling an aluminium rooflight and can buy one with an automated blind – as standard – from your supplier and win more business or extract more margin from the sale, why wouldn’t you?’
“That seemed to have sunk-in, people got the concept. Seeing the product up close and personal, how quiet and easy to operate it is, how simple it is to install – that really reinforced their understanding of it and more importantly its’ market potential.
“We saw exceptional demand for the TRL90 but also our core integrated blinds offer. Again, this was because those installers who visited us, really got the potential that integral blinds delivered as a tool to not only win business but build higher margin by selling an added value product,” Ian added.
