Bring in the light with beautiful new bi-folds
Made for Trade has expanded its Korniche range of roof lanterns to include doors, for the perfect pairing
Korniche is famed within the glazing industry as an awardwinning range of roof lanterns. Now the makers of the industry-leading rooflight, Made for Trade, is expanding its expertise by launching bi-fold doors that are every bit as impressive.
Combining the same flair for engineering and design innovation, the Korniche bi-folds complement the aluminium lanterns on an extension project, drawing light from outside and above into the added space.
This expansion of Made for Trade’s offering has been described by business manager Chris Wann as an ‘incredible opportunity’ for the glazing trades to deliver them as a package for the benefit of home renovators.
‘If we can provide what we believe to be the best bi-folding door on the market at the best prices, our customers can add real value to their installations and benefit from less time on site and more money in their pockets.’
Korniche bi-folds’ many advanced features make them a superior product in the glazing market. These include enhanced security standards, with a Yale 3 star locking barrel and Fuhr main door lock, to reassure homeowners of their safety. Further security is offered in an ergonomic shootbolt handle, which can’t be back driven from the outside if the doors are left unlocked.
The doors glide smoothly open and closed thanks to a unique roller bogey with floating axle across the two stainless steel tracks, and the load is spread to reduce wear from regular use.
There is also a pin-sharp approach to the finish. Bradley Gaunt, Made for Trade’s managing director, says, ‘I don’t think consumers appreciate spending money on a product that only works great – they expect it to look great, too. What can let it down is overspray on the thermal breaks visible when looking at the sashes end on. It detracts from the quality feel. You wouldn’t expect your car tyres to have overspray from your wheels and this isn’t any different.’ To stop this, any profile seen in this way will have each half of the profile painted first and rolled together with the thermal break second for a clean look The traffic door handles have been bespoke designed to match the shootbolt handles for seamless style Made For Trade’s reputation for service and reliability in providing roof lanterns to customers will continue with the new bi-fold doors. They all come in protective packaging with an easy-to-follow installation guide, and have a 10-year warranty as standard.
This attention to detail is driven by the hope that Korniche bi-fold doors will become synonymous with quality, and the one homeowners ask for by name when ordering new doors.
