Sidey claims that timber frame and SIPs panel manufacturers can speed up the installation of windows and doors by using its Kitfix system.
“With the Sidey Kitfix System, windows and doors can be accurately fitted at the factory stage,” said Steve Hardy, MD of fenestration and offsite construction specialist, Sidey Solutions. “It’s quick too – 11 windows can be first fixed in 23 minutes. They are installed when the walls are horizontal in the factory and the innovative Kitfix brackets are twist fitted to the window or door frame. Air tightness, thermal and acoustic seals can also be included at this stage.
“This system makes transportation simple and once on site, the panels are erected as normal. This means homes are wind, watertight and secure much sooner, and makes the build much faster. It also eliminates the need for separate deliveries of windows and doors, with no site storage required either.
“The latest changes to planning laws announced on 5 March mean there is even more pressure to get the job done quicker,” added Steve. “Choosing Kitfix to install windows and doors will help builders and developers build faster.”
