Framexpress expands range

Framexpress has introduced a patio door and commercial door to its Ali by Framexpress range, which it says is in response to customer demand for a wider range of higher spec as standard aluminium glazing solutions.

The recently launched Ali by Framexpress range also includes bi-fold doors, plus flush and standard casement windows.

The new aluminium patio door offers anti-finger trap doors that are PAS24 certified. Available with fan lights and side screens, the new commercial door is polyester powder coated to marine quality as standard, and comes with a security grade 6 point locking system for the ultimate security protection.

Its new aluminium commercial door also offers an 83mm interlocking profile to help cater to the ‘more frame, less glass’ desire from homeowners. Document L compliant, the patio door offers U-values of 1.4 W/m²K and is available in any RAL colour, with handles available in a number of colours and finishes. Both new products are also weather tested to BS6375-1:2009, and are available for customer to quote and order now.

Jonny Green, principal product manager at Framexpress, commented: “The response we’ve had from our Ali by Framexpress range has been fantastic. We launched a smaller number of products initially to test the waters, and it wasn’t long before we had requests for new door configurations. We had the infrastructure and expertise to make it happen, so we’re glad we can now deliver those for customers too.

“Customers have also noted their ability to access everything they value about us – whether it’s our short lead times, higher specification products, or hassle-free service and  support – for various product types. To be able to access that network of support all under one roof has been really valuable to them. For us, that’s the kind of feedback we love to hear, after so much has gone into bringing this to market.”

To deliver on demand for its new product range, Framexpress has acquired a second manufacturing unit in Tweedale – a 12,000ft2 factory that sits adjacent to its 15,000ft2 dedicated fire door facility.

The team has also welcomed a dedicated assistant production manager to oversee the aluminium fabrication. This means it now operates out of a 77,000ft2 manufacturing facility, with a team of more than 140.
