  WERBAR | WINDOW ENERGY REINFORCEMENT BAR - UPDATE
28 / 04 / 2010
  dividerbar
 

Following clarification on several matters from BFRC, Window Widgets now have a number of fabricators who have achieved an A-Rating with official BFRC simulations.

Window Widgets is pleased to report that Werbar sales have gone from strength to strength and a new record was set in April. The affect of the negative press from some in the Industry has only served to benefit us because fabricators call and are reassured by our comprehensive and well thought through technical arguments. We now have our own BBA Air and Water test reports which serves to reassure fabricators as it is an independent test with no commercial angle.

Numerous customers have tried just a few hundred metres and are now ordering half and full stillages. Some customers are taking pallets of pre-cut Werbar lengths for use in door frames and cills.

Werbar is in stock and available and can assist in improving your energy ratings. When used responsibly, it can offer numerous commercial, environmental and technical advantages over conventional reinforcement materials.

Consider using Werbar for other non WER applications e.g. a weldable reinforcement for cills? Stronger welds? Door Midrails?

  WE'VE MOVED!

Window Widgets are pleased to announce that they have moved to a new state of the art Head Office and Warehousing facility.

Extending to over 21,000 Sq, the site is around a year old and just off J12 M5 Quedgeley West Gloucester. The site will bring together the company’s Injection Moulding facility with the distribution warehouse. While the site isn’t hugely larger than the previous facility, Window Widgets has invested in motor driven cantilever racking to maximise the use of the high eaves and to improve space efficiency. The warehouse has around 800A of power which will enable the company to increase the capacity of its low carbon injection moulding facility with brand new low energy machines.

The new facility has extensive office accommodation which has been converted to provide a clean room R+D workshop, rapid prototyping, CNC production cells, showroom, a training school and sales offices. There is a disabled lift, canteen facility and all rooms are networked and have overhead projection facilities.

We extend an invitation to our customers at any time to visit and we hope to hold an open day in the summer when we hope to have a press day and a commemorative event.

Please note our new address: Window Widgets Unit C Quedgeley Trading Estate West, Bristol Road, Gloucester, Gloucestershire GL2 4PA

  WINDOWWIDGETS LAUNCHES PINK PACKERS
09 / 01 / 2009
  dividerbar
 

Window Widgets is now manufacturing its own range of cost effective glazing packers. Delivered in buckets of mixed sizes 1-6mm thick, these packers are manufactured on our new energy efficient machines and so are cost-effective. If you want to save money then give us a call.

The design is new in that the packers are all manufactured in the same colour, but have the number stamped out representing their thickness. WW believes that the cost savings of this manufacture process together with its simple numbering system will win over the traditional colour coding system where you need to run 6 tools simultaneously in order to get the 6 different colours. Numbers were invented for a reason! What could be easier? By the way, what colour was a 2mm packer? No one we asked seemed to know.

The product is delivered in buckets with tamper proof lids. They stack, they are sturdy and installers recycle the bucket for all sorts of jobs on site. The packaging has advantages through the supply chain from the trade counter (they stack for point of sale displays), the fabricator (they are easy to pick and stack well). The major advantage is for the installer who gets a really useful bucket! Available through Window Widgets Now and online at www.pinkpackers.co.uk - call for a free sample and competitive pricing.

  WINDOWWIDGETS INVESTS IN NEW INJECTION MOULDING MACHINES
28 / 11 / 2008
  dividerbar
 

New Injection Moulding Machines. In November, Window Widgets took delivery of 3 new Enaiviv Energy Saving Injection Moulding Machines. 2 Technicians from Taiwan spent a week on site commissioning the 60 Tonne, 120 Tonne and 200 Tonne Machines, complete with dryers, hopper loaders and conveyors. The machines utilise up to 78% less energy than conventional machines, which obviously has commercial and green advantages. They are the first of these types of machines to enter the Uk and represent a significant investment by WW. Window Widgets is keen to win moulding business and is now well placed to do so. The first new product to run in the 200 Tonne machine is a range of cost effective Glazing Packers.
