Demand for coloured profile products have now overtaken those for white at Dekko, with last year’s records showing they account for 55% of orders received in the past year.

Sales Director Kurt Greatrex said: “Coloured profile has been a growing trend across the industry for a while now, especially in the post-lockdown home improvement boom.

“Homeowners have been investing more and more in their properties, and there’s certainly an uptake in people choosing colours rather than the standard white products we’re used to.

He credited suppliers such as Deceuninck for supporting the company in making the most of the trend

“As with us, colour is a priority for Deceuninck, and they’re able to offer us a quick turnaround on these products, enabling us to offer quick lead times to our customers in turn.”

The fabricator’s colour sales have received a further boost from the recent launch of 10 new colours by Residence 9.

“We were always able to offer our customers this premium range in a wide range of colours and wood effects,” he said, “but thanks to their recent expansion, we’re now able to offer exclusive colours such as Clotted Cream, Cotswold Biscuit, Eclectic Grey, and No.10 Black, to name a few, giving our customers a lot more to choose from.”
