Sophisticated opening

The shift to internal glass partitioning has led to an increase in demand for sliding door hardware. We talk to Bohle’s Dave Broxton to find out more.

While the German design and build is winning loyal customers, Bohle has seen homeowners and installers turn away from the far east for their hardware. The shift in consumer behaviour towards the quality end of the market is one reason for this. The other is surety of supply.

“Sourcing product from China is problematic as evidenced during the pandemic and Suez Canal blocking,” Dave continues. “Bohle’s model, on the other hand, has stood up to the pressures of the last two years: quality goods, fully tested, made in Germany, and ready for when you need them.

“By confidently supplying high quality, well-tested, German-made hardware, margin is built-in throughout the supply chain. Furthermore, if consumers are offered something that is demonstrably high value, then they are often prepared to pay a bit for the reassurance that comes with that high quality.

“Coupled with the flexible design options and ease of installation that come with the MasterTrack BT systems, everyone goes away happy.”
