CentreFolds At Centre Of Relationship

CentreFold greenteQ handle

Nordic Aluminium, a trade manufacturer of bespoke aluminium windows and doors in Leeds, has now been a ‘Q-secure approved’ manufacturer for a year.

The company first became approved to pass on the benefits of VBH’s multi-brand security guarantee to its customers in March 2019. 

Nordic has been a VBH customer for three years (at March 2020). Graham Howatson, Nordic’s operations director, says: “We’ve formed a great, mutually beneficial relationship with VBH, which I put down to quality products, backed up with excellent service and support.

"We particularly like the greenteQ CentreFold locking shoot bolt handle with its folding integral key. With other handles, leaving the key in the lock risks damaging the door or losing the key but with CentreFold there’s no risk of that happening.

"VBH also offers colour coded hardware so we can match the colour to the door, a nice feature which helps our sales."

 

PAS24 testing

Howatson continues: “Back in 2019, Rob Norman of VBH assisted us with going through PAS24 testing which is now mandatory on new build houses so it’s important we complied. Working together we turned this around in four days and had our bi-fold door, complete with VBH’s greenteQ Clearspan hardware and the Yale door lock (also from VBH) tested at BSI. It passed first time.”

 

Colour

Nordic’s relationship with VBH continues to grow. The trade fabricator has now started using VBH’s greenteQ Aspire lift and slide handles too because of the improved choice in colour and better quality.

 

 “VBH is an excellent company to work with and always responds quickly if we need help.”
