Non-bonded gains
28th August 2018

HWL TRADE FRAMES has announced that all of its pre-existing Residence 9 accounts have now switched to buying in non-glass bonded frames.

Director Graham Howatson said “It’s not that we’ve abandoned glass bonding or aren’t offering it anymore. It’s there if any of our customers want it and the choice is completely there’s.

“What is unequivocal is that once they buy and then fit a non-glass bonded frame they don’t look back because it saves them time, makes their lives far easier and can save them anywhere upwards of £500 per install.”

 “What you get far beyond the ‘standard’ is the 90° butt weld inside and out, so that it looks exactly the same as a mechanical joint but with no requirement to glass bond for strength because it’s already there.

“That delivers a series of benefits to installers. Handling is easier, fitting is exactly the same as  a standard PVC-U window, you can buy your glass from your usual supplier and remedial work is much more straight forward. It’s a win all round and every single one of our pre-existing customers has switched onto it without exception.”

The trade fabricator sparked a controversy when it led the development of an R9 frame-only offer, using Timberweld sash-welding technology. Read Story
