When I told my friends I was off to a trade show all about windows, doors and glass they sniggered… Then replied “Scintillating”… then kept on laughing! (Imagine Emojis)
However, I loved it! It was full of ideas, new innovations and enthusiastic people.
Trade Possibilities
Throughout the day Kerry caught up with some of Perfect Choice’ suppliers to see what new innovations we can pass on to you the customer. Seeking out those potential suppliers with forward thinking.
Some of the new products that caught our eye were sliding doors of immense proportions to allow an uninterrupted view. A focus on glass and as it is 70% of the window, what qualities do you need? We’ll discuss this further soon. A door finish that will match in with an aluminium window installation but without the aluminium door price. Roof lights, roof lanterns and walk-on flat roof glass – now that was cool! (See the photos) And yet more new door designs, colours and the glass to enhance them.
The new triple-track sliding doors impressed Kerry with their vast wall of glass. There was also a new take on bi-fold doors, instead of folding out on hinges – all the doors are separate yet they slide along to sit in a similar fashion to bi-fold doors. This style is also available as a window which then opens up the whole window aperture. Fabulous.
Colourful
We listened to marketing seminars and product reviews, I took lots of photos and painted a piece of Geri the Giraffe. Who is Geri the Giraffe I hear you ask… Geri was brought along by Kolorseal to raise money with GM Fundraising. We used pens with their specially formulated paint in and then had fun painting Geri!! Just like Geri your window frames and doors can be any colour too! Just a bit on the techie side, Kolorseal uses a paint formula that doesn’t just sit on top of the frame but it merges with the surface at a molecular level. Thus giving a more resilient finish. Awesome.
Ooo and I had a beer in a Peaky Blinders themed bar set up by Chase Taylor Recruitment.
I nearly forgot to mention Smart Ready new technology, security for windows.
Ever have that nagging feeling that you left a window open? Now you can check in with Smart Ready and use Alexa or other smart devices to monitor. If your teenage son left the bathroom window wide open, you can try and find him or race back to the house yourself to shut the window. Watch this space, as the technology develops, you never know, sometime in the future you may be able to say “Alexa, close the bathroom window please”.
A show like this allows our industry the opportunity to reveal fabulous products and the strides being made in their development. By being there, Perfect Choice can stay at the forefront of technology and innovation to bring the Perfect Choice to you and your home.
