The team from Listers has revealed what visitors to its Fit Show stand can expect this year. At Stand U27 in Hall 9, the national fabricator is set to offer window installers new, high-value products to sell to homeowners, as well as new opportunities to maximise margin. Among the products to be unveiled is an exclusive new aluminium entrance door and an internal glass panel door, both of which are set to help Listers’ customers upsell to existing customers.
“We have one of the most exciting product ranges in the window and door industry,” said Roy Frost, Listers’ managing director. “Not only are we the home of the Sheerline aluminium range of windows, doors and lanterns but we have a wide choice of PVC-U windows and doors, including Residence Collection, Veka and Eurocell. Importantly, they are all Part-L ready and are available on the same lead times in a wide range of colours, which is what our customers demand to stay one step ahead of the competition.
“With our new aluminium entrance door and internal panel door, we are creating new opportunities – we are completing our aluminium offer and giving our customers access to the inside of the properties with products that allow light to flood the interior while demarcating space – by separating out an office area, for example. Both products give our customers access to budgets that could have gone elsewhere, which will be more profitable because the fitting teams are already on site.”
The exclusive new aluminium entrance door with be available in the same range of colours as the Sheerline range, and are set to come with matching frames. Listers is also taking a sustainable approach to its presence at the 2023 Fit Show, by using second-hand flooring (this is also set to be used elsewhere after the show) and rehoming all of the stand’s material in new or existing showrooms. Nothing specified for the firm’s 8m x 4m stand will be thrown away at the end of day three, Listers’ representatives have said.
“We’ve got so much to share with our customers,” Roy added. “We can hardly wait to meet everyone at the NEC in Birmingham in May to unveil all our developments.”
Listers’ Fit Show exhibit arrives a month after its own series of open days at its showroom in Stoke. For its open days, the firm has promised talks, demonstrations, workshops and factory tours. Many of the industry’s leading brands are also also be represented at the open days, including Kubu Smart, Glazpart and Business Pilot.
