FIT Show - Made For Trade Stand Q11

Made for Trade is the company behind the Korniche brand of aluminium bi-fold doors and roof lanterns that has been promoted so well that it is requested by name by homeowners.

Homeowners have been made aware of the products’ design innovations and engineering principles of precision, simplicity and beauty.

Ultimately the aim is to ensure installation is as straightforward as possible, saving the fitter time and thus money, whilst delighting customers.

Made For Trade recently gained the ISO9001 certification based on continually improving and optimising all stages of how the company operates which allows it to remain at the forefront of manufacturing and efficiency in the fenestration industry.

 

Lantern fitted in minutes

Made For Trade says its Korniche lantern can be fitted in minutes and glazed in seconds. It has no visible fixings on show and all joints are seamless to maintain clean sightlines.

The invisible fasteners have been optimised for security and rigidity compared with typical self-tapping screw fixings, whilst intricate details such as ridge bosses use anti-crush tubes for spot on installation torque to provide a more precise fit than traditional glazing fittings such as flat plate.

Installation of a Korniche roof lantern involves a system that bolts together as a unitary structure rather than box sections and plates that flex or distort to the detriment of security, structural integrity and weatherproofing. This is not achieved through simplification of construction with speed in mind but clever engineering from the outset that creates a strong and secure glazed product, which is also convenient and time-saving for the installer.

 

One drop delivery

Improving efficiency still further for the installer is the ‘one-drop delivery’ service now offered by Made for Trade. Having invested in excess of £400,000 over the last 18 months in its fleet of delivery vehicles, MFT now not only offers crane offloading for ease and safety on site the product and glazing together on the same truck.
