Safestyle UK in conjunction with Edgetech is delighted to announce that 2011 will see the retail giant start to manufacture windows incorporating Super Spacer warm edge technology. Selling over &pound100 million of replacement windows and doors in the last year alone, Safestyle is launching its Safestyle Eco-Diamond suite of A rated products incorporating what it is says is the industry’s ‘best’ WER Super Spacer.
Mark Scaife, Safestyle’s Manufacturing Operations Director explains the company’s latest move: “For us, Super Spacer is ‘the’ quality warm edge technology on the market, so in many respects, the decision to work with Edgetech was an easy one. However as you’d expect, we did extensive research, trials and benchmarking across all the potential suppliers and Edgetech came out on top in all areas. When you are manufacturing the high volumes that we do, productivity savings are critical and using Super Spacer means we can eliminate the need to cut / corner key offline or use slow bending equipment. In addition, the fact that Edgetech manufactures in the UK and Europe played a part in the decision in terms of securing the supply chain.

“However, our decision was mainly driven through the significant thermal efficiency improvements. Ultimately, Super Spacer has given us a cost effective solution to producing a truly superb A rated window which we can offer to customers at a really affordable price. Energy efficiency is one of the fastest growing industries in Europe, and in the UK, WER’s are proving an increasingly vital tool – in fact, I’d go as far as to say they have been a catalyst for Safestyle’s own evolution enabling us to play our full role in helping UK homeowners tackle the very serious issue of climate change and increasing domestic energy bills. Working closely with Edgetech, we look forward to continuing to do just this.”
Andy Jones, Edgetech MD adds: “We’re absolutely delighted to partner with such a high profile and proactive consumer brand as Safestyle, and this development is a major step forward in helping Super Spacer further penetrate the UK retail sector.”
