Hardware specialist VBH has added new products to its Lifestyle range, the company’s umbrella term for hardware solutions for patio doors. Having introduced the Greenteq Clearspan for bi-fold doors eight years ago, VBH reports that it has enjoyed great success with the product and that it is now one of the company’s most popular ranges.
Until recently, Clearspan has been available for two aluminium profile systems. But a flurry of new product development has seen the introduction this year of solutions to suit five more leading systems, including Exlabesa and Reynaers.
Gary Gleeson, VBH’s marketing manager, said: “We get nothing but great feedback from customers who already use Clearspan. We’re very excited about making the product available to many more fabricators with the introduction of solutions for more aluminium profile systems.”
Although the Lifestyle range also encompasses Clearlift hardware for aluminium lift/slide doors, and Aspire handles to suit, VBH has pointed out that PVC-U fabricators will also find products under the Lifestyle umbrella. As an example, VBH has recently launched the Greenteq Clearslide stainless steel hook lock, for PVC-U inline sliding doors.
Gary added: “Because of the success we’ve had with bi-fold and lift/slide hardware, we’re seen by many as the industry’s patio door hardware specialist. Clearslide has come about in response to requests from fabricators for VBH to develop an eight-hook locking system within the Greenteq brand.
“It suits the leading PVC-U sliding door systems, and our customers can now fit a Clearslide lock, Orion three-star cylinder and their choice of standard Alpha or Coastline stainless steel handles for a true Greenteq sliding door solution.” To find out more about VBH’s range, visit www.vbhgb.com, email sales@vbhgb.com or call 01634 263 263.
