Despite recent PR for ‘new thinking’ towards coloured PVC-U window supply, TruFrame says it has been offering a five-day service for foiled products since 2013.
The company says it continues to support its customers by offering these lead times on an even wider range of colours, whilst delivering ‘world class’ OTIF levels.
“Though the market demand for PVC-U profiles in an ever-increasing number of colour options has never been in doubt, the product complexity and requirement for foiled-on-white and foiled-both-sides means that most fabricators offer foiled products on extended lead times,” explains TruFrame director, Patrick Firmager.
For the past five years, TruFrame says its customers have benefitted from being able to order all foiled options for rosewood, golden oak and anthracite grey on the same lead time as white PVC-U – five days. In addition, the company’s seven-day lead time offering encompasses smooth ivory, white foil, cream foil, black foil, Chartwell green and Irish oak. Elsewhere in the Liniar range is an even wider range of colour options offered on a longer lead time, due to the profile needing to be foiled to order. As market demand shifts in line with consumer trends, TruFrame says it will again look to adopt shorter lead times on new foils as popularity increases.
Patrick concluded: “Our five-day service for both white PVC-U and high demand colour options is something that our customers value and take full advantage of, as it can be the defining factor between winning or losing a job.”
