Paul Miller, Bohle’s national sales manager, shares six ways installers can stay ahead of the curve and make the most of the year ahead.
As we move into 2026, customers’ expectations are higher than ever. They want beautiful, durable, and functional spaces – whether that’s in homes, offices, or hospitality environments.
For installers, the opportunity lies in combining precision with creativity: offering flexible solutions that make every project smoother, faster, and more profitable.
Below are six considerations to ensure that your business continues to maximise opportunities in 2026:
- Flexibility is key
The modern installer needs products that adapt to any environment. Bohle’s systems are designed with versatility at their core. Their modular design, adaptable fittings, and multiple configuration options allow the same high-quality hardware to be used across everything from partitions to doors to balustrades.
That flexibility simplifies ordering and training while helping installers deliver a consistent finish across projects of all sizes.
- Colour adds value
The trend for colour isn’t slowing down. Matte black, brushed brass, and stainless-steel finishes are transforming what clients expect from glass hardware. Colour allows installers to create cohesive, design-led results that complement surrounding décor – and stand out from the competition.
It gives customers choice and personality, while keeping the installation straightforward.
- Keep installation simple: On site, time matters. Hardware that’s quick and intuitive to fit can save hours per job. Across Bohle’s ranges, thoughtful design features like single-tool installation, front-mounted fittings, and concealed fixings mean less downtime and fewer complications.
Behind this is Bohle’s in-house R&D team, which continuously refines products based on installer feedback – ensuring every hinge, track, and clamp performs reliably, every time.
- Build accuracy into every job: Precision is the hallmark of a professional finish. Bohle’s Solaflex digital measuring system makes achieving that precision effortless. Using laser technology and Bluetooth connectivity, Solaflex captures exact dimensions instantly and sends them straight to a mobile device.
It reduces errors, streamlines communication with production teams, and eliminates the need for repeat site visits.
- Think ahead for accessibility and future use: An increasing number of customers are looking for installations that will stand the test of time. Sliding systems such as MasterTrack make it easier to create barrier-free spaces that combine style with inclusivity.
For installers, offering adaptable, future-ready designs not only broadens their customer base but positions them as forward-thinking professionals able to meet evolving building needs.
- Work with partners who support you: Behind every successful installation is a trusted partner. Bohle’s combination of global manufacturing expertise and dedicated UK support ensures installers receive personal, reliable service every step of the way.
From initial product advice to aftersales assistance, Bohle’s commitment to installers is clear: to make every project faster, simpler, and more rewarding.
The takeaway: In 2026, success will belong to installers who embrace flexibility, precision, and style.
With adaptable, easy-to-fit products, Bohle gives professionals the tools to create exceptional results – whatever the space, scale, or style.
