Read Full ArticleExperienced aluminium fabricator BDC Aluminium has recently taken the easy decision to add Stellar from Epwin Window Systems to its portfolio.
The quick-fit properties of the award-winning Stellar system with its patent-pending knock-in beads that leave a neat and clean gasket line, were one of the winning factors for BDC. The installation process is the same as fitting PVC-U windows which is proving popular with installers.
“Stellar is a technically ground-breaking aluminium window and door system. It has superb flush aesthetics and is quick to install. Quite simply, it’s the first aluminium system that fits like PVC-U.”
– David Green
Managing Director, BDC Aluminium
Astonishing difference to installers
“My background is in retail sales so I understand first-hand the advantages of products that are quick and easy to fit," continues BDC Aluminium's David Green. "Stellar is 30-40% quicker to install than anything else I’ve seen in aluminium and it makes an astonishing difference to installers."
Growth
BDC Aluminium has seen year-on-year growth for a comprehensive range of aluminium products with a sharp increase in demand over the last few months following lockdown. Green adds: “Feedback about Stellar has been extremely positive so far and I’m not surprised. It represents a massive opportunity for our customers.”
Investment
As well as expanding its portfolio to include Stellar, BDC Aluminium has also undertaken a programme of investment in its manufacturing operations. The company invested in the UK’s first 4-head Ever Theta frame crimping machine from FOM last year and has opened a new 11,000sq.ft manufacturing unit. The new unit will be dedicated to manufacturing Stellar for its domestic, commercial and trade customers, including Epwin Group companies.
