Upturn in demand

BDC Aluminium reported a sharp increase in demand after it started fabricating Stellar from Epwin Window Systems I September 2020.

David Green, managing director of, said: “From the start, we knew that Stellar offered the industry something ground-breaking due to the superb flush aesthetics and speed of installation. And it would seem our customers agree. We have seen a huge upturn in demand for Stellar as our trade customers appreciate what the products deliver.”

David continued: “My background is in retail sales, so I understand the advantages that quick and easy-to-fit products deliver. Stellar fits like PVCU so for installers looking to add aluminium products into their portfolio, the transition is very straightforward.”

Paul Fear, regional manager of BDC Aluminium customer the Windowstore, said: “Stellar is proving popular with our trade fitters and we have seen a sharp surge in sales for the bifolding door. Stellar is 30%-40% quicker to install and once installers discover this, they seldom return to other aluminium products.

“The service we receive from BDC Aluminium is excellent. Aluminium products have a reputation of being on long lead times compared to PVCU products, but Stellar from BDC is manufactured and delivered quickly, which helps with our own order schedule.”
