SYNSEAL WILL FOCUS ON INNOVATION AT ECOBUILD 2016
Synseal will be exhibiting for a fourth year in succession at this year’s Ecobuild, which is
taking place at the ExCeL exhibition centre in London’s Docklands on 8th-10th March.
Building on the success of their focussed presence at previous Ecobuild shows, Synseal’s
stand will seek to demonstrate the sheer diversity of Synseal group window and door
product solutions with a focus on true innovation.
Stand E2006 will feature the new Celsius Solid Roof, a truly warm and quick fitting roofing
solution for new build and retrofit projects, alongside the popular WarmCore "warm
aluminium" folding sliding door which delivers low U-values of 1.4 W/m2K using 28mm
double glass or 1.0 W/m2K using 44mm triple glass.
Following a high impact launch in November 2014, WarmCore has delivered sales success
for many companies across the window industry in 2015 and Synseal’s Ecobuild stand may
indicate how this innovative “warm aluminium” technology will be extended during 2016
beyond the original quick-fitting and highly engineered bi-fold door product offering.
Celsius Solid Roof is attracting high levels of interest and visitors to Ecobuild will be able to
inspect a cut-through of the roof’s structural construction which employs timber componentry
with no aluminium skeleton and uses 100% recycled Synseal Envirotiles to provide an
impressive and modern-looking external decorative finish.
Also on display will be a Masterdor Precision “wrapped timber” residential door featuring a
tough yet aesthetically pleasing vacuum-bonded Permaskin finish for high levels of durability
and reduced maintenance, which are specification factors for both public sector housing
specifiers and new housebuilding developers.
Bruce Manning (New Build Business Development Manager) and Brian Walker (Fabricator
Development Manager) will lead Synseal’s Ecobuild exhibition team and be on hand to
provide expert guidance on commercial specification issues and connect specifiers with
capable and proven Synseal fabricator and installer partners operating nationwide.
