Progress
on all Fronts
This week, it is anounced that the Swisspacer system has been used to achieve two A-Ratings - the first for Eurocell, with its Ultimate 70 window, and an uprated A+1 window from Lister Trade Frames. On the other side of the fence, we also hear that Promac has now sold no fewer than 11 For.El Super Spacer® lines in the UK. We also report this week on progress at Spectus: Duncan Douglas has joined Spectus as Sales and Marketing Director, while Hanley Trade Frames, the Stoke-on-Trent based fabricator and installer is now fabricating Spectus' Elite 70 range with ovolo finish.
