Have the Usain Bolt of aluminium lead times arrived?
Posted on 12/01/2015
A significant investment by a bi-fold specialist means it can now offer some of the fastest leads times on aluminium the industry has ever seen.
TWR Bi-fold’s purchase and build of a state-of-the-art in-house powder coating and paint spraying facility has seen the company now able to offer a six day turnaround on aluminium products such as bi-folds, wide span patio doors, vertical slider and many others in any RAL colour, excluding the Sensations Range and dual-colour, in contrast to many other suppliers that only offer this turnaround only on grey, white and black.
Managing director of TWR Bi-folds, Terry Richardson, comments: “Unfortunately many installers have become used to slow leads times on aluminium and the industry has become complacent in dealing with the issue. It is a bold statement we’ve made but with many other suppliers only offering grey, black and white we are confident it can be achieved.
“We’ve invested in this facility in order to try to solve this solution and offer faster leads times so installers can streamline their own businesses and turn around jobs faster. The in-house powder coating facility means not only can we offer quality aluminium bi-folds at Usain Bolt fast lead-times; but at competitive prices too.”
Part of the TWR Group, TWR Bifolds experienced phenomenal growth in 2014. Month on month growth in bi-fold sales culminated in a strong end to the year, and a full order book going into 2015.
TWR Bifolds is one of the longest established aluminium bi-fold manufacturers, and is known as a specialist in this field. But the company also offers aluminium wide-span patio doors and aluminium vertical sliders.
Terry comments further: “We can supply single product aluminium fabricators with extra aluminium products such as our wide-span patio doors and vertical sliders, allowing them to expand their product range without the additional manufacturing costs.
“For example we are looking to partner with companies that may just make aluminium bi-folds but want to offer other aluminium products; but don’t have the know-how or facilities to make them.”
