AT Precision opens state-of-the-art extrusion plant
Posted on 06/03/2024
Leading hardware supplier AT Precision has opened a brand new extrusion plant, situated at their Durham headquarters.
This cutting-edge facility marks a significant leap forward in sustainability, housing an integrated recycling plant that repurposes post-consumer and industrial uPVC waste to manufacture recycled thermal reinforcement (RTR) bars, reducing the reliance on virgin resources.
Made from 100% recycled uPVC, the RTR bars add strength and increased thermal performance to windows, are quick and easy to install, and boast a minimum lifespan of 35 years.
The new extrusion plant has also allowed AT Precision to expand into the roofing market with a new range of roof laths and joists.
The EcoLath range is also made from 100% recycled uPVC thanks to the new in-house recycling scheme, and offers several advantages over traditional timber alternatives – they are more affordable, knot-free, resistant to rotting, warping, and bending – all qualities that make them ideal for any roofing project.
Sales Director Michael Hewitt comments: "Our new extrusion plant represents a pivotal moment for AT Precision. By combining cutting-edge technology with a deep commitment to sustainability, we empower fabricators to offer superior solutions while minimising their environmental impact. Together, the production of RTR bars and the extrusion of our EcoLath range of roof laths and joists set a new standard for performance and responsibility within the industry."
Working from a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, AT Precision supplies the Everglide range of bi-fold hardware, the Everseal range of gaskets, as well as security hardware and plastic ancillaries.
All products are compatible with all major systems, and because they’re made in-house, come at a more affordable price compared to other suppliers.
