Better working together
Nordic Aluminium has become a ‘Q-secure approved’ manufacturer, which means the company can now pass on the benefits of VBH’s multi-brand security guarantee to its customers.
Graham Howatson, Nordic’s operations director, said: “We’ve formed a great, mutually beneficial relationship with VBH, which I put down to quality products, backed up with excellent service and support. We particularly like the greenteQ CentreFold locking shoot bolt handle with its folding integral key. With other handles, leaving the key in the lock risks damaging the door or losing the key, but with CentreFold there’s no risk of that happening. VBH also offers colour coded hardware so we can match the colour to the door, a nice feature which helps our sales.
“More recently, Rob Norman of VBH has assisted with PAS24 testing. PAS24 is now mandatory on new build houses so it’s important we comply. Working together we turned this around in three to four days, and had our bifold door, complete with VBH’s greenteQ Clearspan hardware and the Yale door lock (also from VBH), tested at BSI. It passed first time.”
Nordic has now started using VBH’s greenteQ Aspire lift and slide handles too because of the improved choice in colour and better quality.
