Tommy Trinder launches timber sales tool

Tommy Trinder has launched a suite of specialist timber features on the Framepoint app, designed to make it easier to sell wooden windows and doors.

“Timber is close to our hearts,” said CEO Chris Brunsdon. “It’s great to be able to leverage the power of Framepoint to make quoting and selling wooden products quick, easy and fun!”

Chris, a former director of The Performance Timber Products Group and founder of TimberWindows.Com, has brought his extensive knowledge of the timber market to bear in the design of the new module.

“Coming from a timber background, I know that details matter,” he said. “The challenge was to keep things fast, simple and easy to use whilst providing the ability to showcase all the features that make wooden windows and doors special. We’re so chuffed with the results!”

Tommy Trinder’s patented Framepoint Technology has been designed to allow users to free draw timber windows and doors with your finger or a mouse, just like sketching on a pad.

Frame and sash depths can be easily customised; it’s one touch to add deeper head sections, or traditionally proportioned deep bottom rails to flush casements or sash windows. And a raft of timber specific details – such as lambs tongue mouldings, raised and field panels, cill nosings, single glazing, and sash horns – can be visualised and priced in a tap.

The Framepoint app, also allows howeowners to see how their wooden windows and doors will look in a full range of colourways.

Chris said: “Nowadays white windows and doors account for less than 50% of the domestic timber replacement market, so we’ve made sure that a full range of colour and stains are available for selection; over 32 stain choices and 300 paint finishes, including all the ever-popular Farrow and Ball colour options.

“The colour of all items in the quote can be changed in one click and being able to instantly see the effect on the elevation is really powerful.”

The Framepoint app, which is said to offer photo-realistic rendering of timber products, also features a comprehensive range of timber orientated ironmongery, including an extensive offering from specialist ironmonger, Coastal – a leading supplier of classic and contemporary handles and fittings to the joinery market.

“I must say there is a real wow moment when you touch and add a Coastal peg stay to a window in Framepoint,” concluded Chris. “It’s the pièce de résistance!”
