AluK has just announced a first-of-a-kind partnership with IGU specialists Clayton Glass.
The partnership, full details of which were revealed at AluK’s Exploration Day, will bring a whole raft of benefits to AluK customers, designed to make buying and fitting glass easier and more cost effective.
This includes preferential glass pricing deals for AluK fabricators and installers, free onsite training and technical support via Clayton Glass’s dedicated SASSY Sales and service support vehicle and access to Clayton Glass’ innovative EcoCycle glass recycling scheme.
Russell Yates, AluK’s Managing Director, commented: “It’s significant that this is the first time that Clayton Glass has joined forces with any aluminium systems company and shows just how determined AluK is to add real value to our customer offering.
“This partnership on IGUs sits alongside all the other elements of our customer support package – from specialist marketing and technical support to in-house testing facilities and free training at the AluK Academy, and gives fabricators yet another reason to upgrade their system to AluK.”
Clayton Glass Director Ryan Green added: “We’re really excited to be joining forces with AluK and further strengthening our position in the ali sector alongside such a dynamic player in the marketplace.
“We already supply lots of AluK customers, but this brings another dimension to that and lets them access special pricing deals and some of the aspects of our service that we define as The Clayton Difference.”
The SASSY vehicle, which was a big attraction at the Exploration Day, can now be booked for free training and technical support at any AluK fabricator’s premises. The Clayton Glass team will arrive on site and showcase everything from solar and acoustic options to vacuum sealed units and 28mm triple glazing. They can deliver dedicated 30-45 minute training sessions to help AluK customers make the optimum glass choice for every application and use glass most effectively to reach U-Value targets.
AluK customers also now have access to Clayton Glass’ EcoCycle scheme alongside the CAB’s Closed Look Recycling Scheme that AluK has signed up to. EcoCycle is a recycling service dedicated to post-consumer glass waste and takes advantage of the fact that glass, like aluminium, is one of the most recyclable materials on the planet. It is part of Clayton’s response to the UK target of using 50% recycled glass in all new production by 2030.
AluK customers can book in a free EcoCycle collection of glazed frames and loose glass to coincide with their delivery from Clayton Glass and save on waste management and skip costs. They can improve the sustainability of their operations and, at the same time, be part of the EcoCycle mission which channels the profits from the initiative into grants for local good causes.
Ryan Green added: “We’ll be inviting AluK customers to nominate projects in their local areas so we can share the benefits directly with them.”
