Dekko launch Residence 9
Posted on 13/05/2013
Dekko Window Systems, one of the industry’s leading PVC-u fabricators, has announced they are now offering Residence 9 (R9), the luxury 9 chambered window system from Eclectic Systems. Dekko have capacity to fabricate several hundred R9 windows and doors per week from their 28,000 sq ft factory in Cheshire, and are in the process of teaming up with like-minded installers to sell this product into the lucrative high-end heritage market.
Dekko sales director Kurt Greatrex comments: “There’s real opportunity for growth in the heritage sector and R9 is the perfect product for this market. R9 is packed with authentic features, making it look identical to a 19th Century flush sash timber window, but because it is made with a modern composite material it doesn’t have the same maintenance issues. R9 is ideally suited to cottages, town houses and period properties and because it is a luxury window, installers can gain better margins and expect to see a boost in profits.”
The product was recently displayed at the FIT Show, where R9 extruders Eclectic Systems were exhibiting. Kurt attended the show with Dekko’s managing director Gary Torr and both were delighted to see so many installers interested in R9.
Gary comments: “There was a real buzz around R9 at the FIT Show and many of the installers we spoke to thought the same as us – that the product was genuinely one of the best around and they could see it selling in the heritage market. We picked up a number of good leads from the show and we only anticipate interest in R9 to increase, particularly as we are now embarking on a big marketing campaign to raise awareness of the product.” Dan Gill, managing director of Eclectic Systems commented: “Dekko are well recognised as a quality focussed fabricator and I’m delighted they have decided to offer R9. R9 is a top end window and Dekko has the manufacturing expertise needed to produce the product in high volumes yet still retain exceptional quality. Eclectic Systems is fully behind Dekko and I look forward to supporting them as they look to increase R9 sales over the coming months.”
