G09 Regional exhibitionSHOWGUIDE

Welcome to Wembley for the second G09 Regional exhibition.

When I was organising the first G09 Regional exhibition at Telford International Exhibition Centre, it became increasingly apparent that I had tapped into an unfulfilled need – people wanted exhibitions, but existing shows weren’t meeting their requirements.

While there are exhibitions out there that companies in the glass, glazing and fenestration industries attend, most of them were compromises.

Companies were either exhibiting at specialists shows, such as those tailored for the environment or social housing, or were too general in scope and expensive.

What was needed was honestly priced show, without bells and whistles, that came to the visitor – over-priced centralised exhibitions

are becoming increasingly outdated. Modest regional shows were the answer.

I speak to a variety of companies in the course of a typical week, and despite excuses made by the big exhibition organisers, business people relish the one-to-one contact provided by trade shows.

There you go – I’ve put my neck on the line!

By attending the show this week, you have demonstrated that an easy-to-reach low key exhibition is what you want. If this show is a success, and the exhibitors get what they want from it, then the G09 Regional exhibition will become a permanent (if geographically shifting) feature on the industry’s calendar.

Enjoy yourself, and any feedback is gratefully received.

The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) will take advantage of the large numbers expected at the G09 Regional event taking place at Wembley Stadium from 30th September-1st October 2009, to make delegates at the GGF Annual Forum aware of two key issues soon to face the glass and glazing industries.

Two events due to take effect in 2010 – The Revised Building Regulations and the Consumer White Paper recently published – are the subjects being covered by expert speakers at the GGF Conference on 1st October, which is free to attend for all visitors to the Wembley G09 Regional.

Changes to the Building Regulations – which will be presented by GGF Technical Director Giles Willson – will, for example, include a proposal that the exemption for conservatories be removed from Approved Document L, but that work on conservatories be included in the list of building work that is not notifiable to Building Control (Schedule 2B); while replacement windows and doors will be affected by increased minimum performance standards: window, roof window or rooflight – WER, band C; and doors with more than 50% of the internal face

glazed are likely to require a U-value of 1.8 W/m2K.

However, it is the proposals offered in the White Paper published recently, called ‘A Better Deal for Consumers – Delivering Real Help Now and for the Future’, that hold perhaps the biggest changes for home improvement companies for at least a decade.

Designed among other things to drive out rogue traders there are clauses suggested that may trip up the unwary glazing installer who has not learned the new rules, when they become statutory next year. The two-year pilot covering compensation for breach of consumer law will start in autumn 2010 or spring 2011 and will be extensively evaluated before the national rollout.

The government plans to appoint a ‘Consumer Advocate’ to educate consumers and assist those who have suffered at the hands of unscrupulous businesses and there will also be stronger penalties for ‘rogue traders’ and banning orders to prevent repeat offences. The OFT will develop a new online complaints system which it hopes will go live in 2010 and it will provide a high profile single complaints register for citizens encountering

breaches of consumer law. The presentation at the GGF

Conference, delivered by Paul Ramsden, Deputy Chief Executive of Trading Standards, is intended to offer a guide to the new regulations and prevent bona fide traders from falling foul of the new laws.

Ian Chisholm, Deputy Chief Executive of the GGF believes that the new rules will ultimately be very positive for the glazing industry but may well catch out otherwise well-meaning companies that do not familiarise themselves with them.

“Rogue traders continue to be a curse on our industry although thankfully they are far less prevalent than they used to be,” Ian said. “What we fear is that if retail installers do not make themselves familiar with the new rules – which we believe will be strictly enforced – some may fall foul of them and be penalised.

“Our Forum 2009 sessions on the subject of the Building Regulations and Consumer rules are designed to offer guidance on the key issues. All are welcome – and attendance is free of charge.”

Distinction Doors will be showcasing an exciting selection of new products.

Distinction is launching its Gold Oak and Rose Wood colours to match Renolit foils on outerframes at the exhibition, demonstrating to fabricators the colours that will help them stand out from the crowd and increase sales in the rapidly expanding composite door market.

Also on display will be the new 7L low cassette in a fully glazed 6 panel door. This has been available for the last few months and has already proved a real winner for Distinction’s customers.

MD Drew Wright is looking

forward to the exhibition and believes it is an ideal opportunity for fabricators to see the new products first hand and to find out more about the company.

“The G09 exhibition is one of the most important calendar dates and is an ideal opportunity to demonstrate our new innovations to some of the industry’s leading figures. Our team will be on hand to discuss any technical information and we are looking forward to meeting up with new and existing customers.”

Bohle is taking full advantage of the G09 Regional exhibition at Wembley Stadium, with a host of new products – and even a couple of palm greasers – to draw the crowds around the company’s stand.

Continuing Bohle’s reputation for always having something new and exceptional to show at exhibitions, the company’s new Bevellights deserve physical inspection to reveal their real appeal, as they offer a new realm to professional, discreet display lighting for glass cabinets.

Bohle’s brand new Verigauge epitomises the company’s uncanny knack of producing practical and efficient solutions

to everyday problems. This handy tool is designed to measure both the thickness of the glass and the depth of insulated glass units whilst still fitted in situ. It will also measure the thickness of glass panes simply by placing the device against the glass and reading the thickness off the reflected scale.

Extending Bohle’s reputation for producing high quality, edgy designs for glass hardware the company’s Hawa door fixings really take some beating for extraordinary aesthetics as well as impressive durability.

And of course, Bohle staples will be on show in case anyone needs reminding about why the company is the UK market leader fo glass tools and consumables: Bohle Veribor and Woods lifters, Bohle’s acclaimed UV bonding technology and Bohle’s full force of cutting tools and wheels will all be on display at Wembley this autumn.

Oh, and not forgetting the little incentives, all visitors to the stand will receive a free bottle of Bohle glass cleaner, while one lucky person each day will have their name drawn from the pot to win a Bohle Glaziers Tool Kit, worth more than £300!

Window Widgets will be launching further new sections of its window energy reinforcement bar at the G09 Exhibition and will be offering free system sample packs to visitors on the stand along with a conclusive test report.

Werbar is a revolutionary reinforcing bar that has been designed to fit many of the industry’s leading systems including: Deceuninck, Eurocell, KBE, Kömmerling, Rehau, Selecta, Synseal, VEKA and WHS Halo. It’s also proving popular with a number of leading composite door suppliers.

The thermal conductivity of the fully recycled material is nearly 300 times

better than steel and 940 times better than aluminium. It’s also made from 100% recycled material and therefore carries significant green credentials. The shape of each section has also been carefully designed to enhance strength.

Dan Gill, managing director comments: “Werbar is a hugely exciting product and our research has shown that when a frame is fully reinforced with Werbar rather than steel, it will enable companies to make on average a nine-point improvement in terms of the WERs. For companies with a ‘B’ rated window it’s the cheapest way of achieving an ‘A’.”

Visitors to the show are encouraged to collect their free system specific pack. Anyone else can get theirs from Window Widgets direct on 01452 300912 or e-mail [email protected].

What a Widget!

Profile 22 Systems will launch its ground-breaking trade sales initiative at G09. The programme explores the opportunities for sales growth in today’s price-driven industry. Participants will learn how to overcome the growth-barriers faced by fabricators and installers and discover the tools they

need to sell the existing opportunities effectively.

The scheme follows the success of one of the UK’s fastest-growing commercial initiatives – the Profile 22 Approved Commercial Manufacturer scheme – which offers fabricators a unique opportunity to benefit from association with

a systems company that has made its name in the commercial arena.

Visitors to the exhibition will be able to talk to Profile 22 about the benefits of both initiatives, as well as having the opportunity to view its unique product range. Engineered for simple fabrication and installation,

the four main profile systems offer a choice of 60mm or 70mm as well as chamfered, bevelled and sculptured solutions.

With its unique patented integral shutter system, the Vectis Plus handle range ensures excellent weather sealing and has been designed and tested to meet the requirements of PAS 023 – air, wind and water tests.

Visitors to the G09 Regional exhibition at Wembley can learn more about warm edge without tears or fears.

Leading warm edge manufacturer Swisspacer has signed up to exhibit at the show. Swisspacer will be showcasing products to potential customers as it opens up the market with its revolutionary, no-investment- needed warm edge solution.

A report by IFT Rosenheim, on behalf of the Bundesverband Flachglas (BF, the German Federal Flat Glass Association), shows Swisspacer V has the best PSI thermal value when used in PVC-U, timber, timber-aluminium composites and aluminium windows

compared to other warm edge spacers. While Swisspacer V outperforms

other warm edge spacers, it exactly matches the shape and external dimensions of aluminium spacers. So sealed unit manufacturers can use their existing machinery (a big saving in today’s market) to make sealed units that allow WERS A ratings to be achieved.

Swisspacer’s Marketing and Sales Manager for the UK and Ireland Kathryn Dagleish says: “We’re delighted to confirm Swisspacer’s presence at Wembley. As well as providing an opportunity to show potential customers how Swisspacer

can work for them, it is a platform for industry leaders to come together and discuss how we can open up market opportunities for more fabricators and installers.”

Door-Stop International will use the Wembley G09 exhibition as the platform for its latest launch: free composite door websites. Nick Dutton, Managing Director explained: “We’ve been offering subsidised websites to customers for some time now, and they’ve proven so popular that we wanted to extend the initiative.

“Visitors to the Door-Stop stand will learn how they can get a professionally designed 70 page tailored site under their own company domain name. As well as looking fantastic, thanks to the latest technology, the website includes a unique door configurator and an

optional Visualiser which allows homeowners to design their own door and superimpose it on the front of their property so they can see how it will look.

“Professionally designed interactive sites can be expensive and we appreciate times are tough for many businesses at the moment. So what better way of helping installers sell more doors than to give them the option of their own consumer website absolutely free.”

Avocet Hardware will be exhibiting at the Wembley G09 Regional exhibition. The event provides the hardware supplier with an opportunity to show visitors the innovative products which have helped its customers’, and its own, sales grow.

products and services that will help to win them new business. Our own products, such as the Affinity Suite, have been hugely successful and have helped us grow by boosting our customers’ sales. We’re committed to innovation and we will be showing some of the new products we’ll be launching in the very near future, including a new rapid fit and install 3D hinge and PAS-024 door cylinder which requires no security handles or cylinder

guards.”Avocet is also a principal sponsor of

the G09 awards. Kevin added: “We’re delighted to be associated with such a prestigious event.

The GO9 Exhibition at Wembley Stadium will serve as the ‘kick-off’ for new and exciting developments for Ritec’s ClearShield ‘non-stick’ durable glass surface protection.

The new developments will focus on improved durability for ClearShield plus these ‘firsts’:

• Anti-microbial – the first transparent, re-treatable glass surface treatment resisting the adhesion and growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi

– and meeting requirements for direct food contact.

• Energy Savings – the first technology reducing by 50% on average the energy requirements, operating costs and carbon footprints for routine glass cleaning.

• Light Transmission – the first technology maintaining the original light transmission of architectural glass and solar energy panels.

These new developments will

increase even further the high added value that ClearShield has developed in market sectors of the flat glass industry over the past 27 years.

They will take ClearShield into market sectors with requirements that only ClearShield can meet.

As a result, glass and glazing companies throughout the world will benefit from opportunities for higher sales turnover and improved profits.

The new portable lead strip machine launched by UAP at Wembley is capable of producing 400 rolls of high quality silver lead per day.

A completely new concept for the decorative glass market, the Glassmaster Silver Lead Machine is expected to see keen interest from visitors, as for the first time users have the opportunity to make lead strip for themselves, rather than buying it in.

Measuring only 2m x 750mm and sturdily constructed from quality components the machine is capable

(with the appropriate heads) of making lead strip in 3mm, 4.5mm, 6mm, 9mm, and 12mm widths.

Advanced features ensure that the lead strip is perfectly sized and the equal in quality to any other quality lead strip on the market, as the source materials (ie the lead and the adhesive tape) come from the same suppliers.

A key feature for small glass shops is that the machine does not need to be permanently manned as it automatically shuts itself off at each 50 metres.

If making 6mm lead the machine

will make 8 rolls every 8 minutes. It will make more of the smaller sizes, and pro rata less of the 9mm. The machine is fully portable on collapsible wheels, and comes with a freestanding turntable for the lead coil. The machine works off a single standard plug socket, so can be located anywhere, and moved in and out of position as required.

vThe machines also come backed up by a full technical file and CE marking.
