Visio fast-tracked with Rio

New fabrication company, Visio, says it has ‘fast tracked’ its launch with the introduction of Rehau’s Rio flush fit range.

The Uxbridge-based business, which is headed by father and son team, Steven and Matthew Rule, was founded in 2022. With average housing prices in the West London town exceeding £600,000, the company delivers to a high-end market and is said to have needed a premium supplier to match.

Steven, who had previously worked with the Rehau profile 20 years ago, wanted to return to a system he trusted and knew well.

The choice to partner with Rehau enabled Visio to offer a high-quality, timber alternative product into the market, with an ‘A’ Window Energy Rating (WER) and compatibility with the Total70 system.

Steven and Matthew were also able to save the expense of PAS24 testing, as this accreditation had already been achieved in the range’s hardware design.

Matthew Rule said: “We’ve been waiting for something exciting to happen in the market and when we saw the Rio flush fit window, we knew that this was it. There aren’t many organisations in the country offering mechanical joints, let alone the double mechanical joints we can offer, so it really does pave the way for us in the market.

“Working with Rehau has really streamlined our operation as they offer great technical support, providing instant backup when and if we need them.

“It’s refreshing to see the introduction of a product like this to the market and we’ve found that once, one project is out the door, we are getting two more coming in – we can’t produce them fast enough”.

Luke Boban, area sales manager at Rehau, commented: “Steven is a familiar face at Rehau from his work with us 20 years ago. It’s been a real pleasure to help him set up this new business with his son. Being able to onboard them with the holistic Rio flush fit range has been seamless and it’s positive to see our product launch help them grow quickly.”
