Higher margins claimed for flush sash
14th July 2015

Lincoln based fabricator STERNFENSTER says more and more retailers are making better margins from its StyleLine Residence 9 flush sash window because of advanced manufacturing techniques, including its seamless corner weld.

Steve Lane, Sternfenster national sales manager, explained: “The StyleLine R9 is different from both the mechanically jointed, as well as the standard welded windows although it is technically welded by machinery.”
The finish is the result of a manufacturing process that welds the frame segments on the inside. This means there is no need for grooving, and no loss of material at the corner joint.

Sternfenster is the only UK fabricator to supply the Residence 9 window in three versions: with mechanical joints, standard weld, and the all-new StyleLine finish.
Steve concluded: “There will still be many that prefer the mechanically jointed R9 windows, due to their accurate representation of a 19th century flush sash timber casement. But the StyleLine R9 is proving very easy to sell to the end-consumer, and more profitable, and we predict demand for this alternative product will soar over the next few months.”
