FIT Show: A visitor view from Bedfordshire Windows

Gary Walker and Tom Pitts, Joint Managing Directors of Kempston-based fabricator, Bedfordshire Windows, visited FIT Show on Wednesday 24 May to see the new products and catch up with the latest innovations and industry information.

“The first stand we visited was Cortizo to see their newest addition, the bifold door,” says Gary. “It has slimmer sightlines and U-values as low as 1.2 W/m²K with double glazing and 0.8 W/m²K with triple glazing, which is what we need with the new regulations.

It was great to see on display the COR Vision patio sliding door with the incredibly slim interlocking sightlines of just 20mm.  This is a product we currently supply to our trade customers and it's not often I get to see such a large door installed, and with vast glass coverage it looks extremely impressive.

“Nearby we caught up with Sheerline Aluminium. They are introducing loads of exciting new products, which we’re looking at manufacturing in the future. We can’t wait to start producing the latest version of the S1 roof lantern with a new opening vent, which gives a sleek and stylish finish.

“We also fabricate Liniar uPVC products, and find them, along with Cortizo and Sheerline, a real pleasure to work with while manufacturing their products.

“We spent the rest of the day catching up with people we know in the industry and getting a bit of an insight into their products.

“After checking out products, we visited the PiGS Pavilion where Tom and I picked up the Best Goody Bag in the world and caught up with Sarah Ball and the team at Balls2 Marketing for a pint.

“It was interesting to see products at FIT Show and we’re looking forward to bringing in these new products to Bedfordshire Windows in the next few months.”
