Listers has announced that it will be exhibiting at the FIT Show in May this year.

Among the products to be showcased on stand U27 in hall 9 will be an exclusive new aluminium entrance door and an internal glass panel door, which according to Listers will help customers upsell to their existing customers.

“We have one of the most exciting product ranges in the window and door industry,” said managing director, Roy Frost. “Not only are we the home of the Sheerline aluminium range of windows, doors and lanterns, but we have a wide choice of PVC-U windows and doors, including Residence Collection, Veka and Eurocell.

“Importantly, they are all Part-L ready and are available on the same lead times in a wide range of colours, which is what our customers demand to stay one step ahead of the competition.

“With our new aluminium entrance door and internal panel door, we are creating new opportunities – we are completing our aluminium offer, and giving our customers access to the inside of the properties with products that allow light to flood the interior while demarcating space – by separating out an office area, for example.

“Both products give our customers access to budgets that could have gone elsewhere, which will be more profitable because the fitting teams are already on site.”

The exclusive new aluminium entrance door with be available in the same range of colours as the Sheerline range, and will come with matching frames.

Roy adds that Listers is also taking a sustainable approach to its presence at this year’s FIT Show, by using second-hand flooring (which will also go on to be used elsewhere after the show) and rehoming all stand material in new or existing showrooms. Nothing on the 8m x 4m stand will be specified that will be thrown away at the end of day three.

Listers’ FIT Show appearance will come just a month after its own series of open days at its showroom in Stoke, which promise talks, demonstrations, workshops and factory tours.

Many of the industry’s leading brands will also be represented, presenting talks on the latest industry issues, and will be free to discuss pressing concerns over lunch or a coffee. These include: Kubu Smart; GripCore (DoorCo); Glazpart; Ultion; Quickslide; Lasco PR and Marketing; Full Circle Marketing; and Business Pilot.

These will be alongside representatives from Residence Collection, Veka Halo, Sheerline, Reynaers and Eurocell, who will be available to talk about specific product development and regulation compliance.
