Regal makes a stylish statement at FIT Show

Window Ware’s premium heritage hardware range, Regal Hardware, featured on the stands of several key partners and customers at the FIT Show, most notably The Residence Collection.

Window Ware’s product manager, Rob Vaughan, and commercial director, Richard Bryant, joined the Residence team to engage with visitors and provide expert insights into the Regal Hardware range.

Richard commented: “It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces. The Fit Show remains a crucial platform for the industry to come together, catch up, and collaborate.”

Reflecting on the three days, Rob said. “It’s always good to talk to people who are using our products,” he said. “The consistent feedback was that they really like the design and appreciate the quality, with many commending the reliable performance they’ve experienced and have now come to expect from Regal Hardware.”

Regal’s latest addition, the Knurled range, is said to have garnered particular enthusiasm from visitors and was prominently featured on The Residence Collection’s stand.

“People were really impressed,” explained Rob, “You could tell from what they were saying. We heard comments like: ‘They look great,’ ‘Yeah, we could definitely use those handles,’ and ‘We need some of these in our showroom!’”

FIT Show 2025 underscored the growing trend towards elevated PVC-U systems that use modern welding technics or mechanical joints, flush sash designs, more realistic woodgrain foils and heritage-inspired hardware to emulate timber windows.

Significantly, on The Residence Collection stand, some visitors are said to have been surprised to discover that the heritage doors on display were indeed crafted from PVC not timber. In fact, heritage-style doors were a prominent theme throughout the show, featuring a diverse range of handle styles on display, with the Knurled design proving particularly popular.
