Aluminium academy

Jack Aluminium System’s JCW Curtain Walling has been used to create AluFoldDirect’s new aluminium glazing installation academy at its Blackburn HQ.
Offering free courses to installers, the new academy includes the option to learn best-practice fitting of Jack Aluminium products.
Run by AluFoldDirect’s in-house installation expert Paul, the academy gives customers the chance to learn how to fit Jack Aluminium’s TD68 thermal, commercial door and JCW curtain walling systems in a full-sized rig. Training courses are bespoke to individual company requirements.
Craig Miller, managing director at AluFoldDirect, said: “Customers are invited to come and get free installation training on everything aluminium, including our commercial glazing range. Customers learn how commercial doors are manufactured and installed and see how curtain walling is built, what brackets are needed and learn how to fix them in full-size rigs.”
Ash Pearson, sales manager at Jack Aluminium, said: “AluFoldDirect is a very forward-thinking company and this new academy will help to resolve the massive skills gap that we have in the glazing industry.”
