For most, its been a positive year for the building industry, with continued hopes of growth for the year ahead.

Liniar (H L Plastics) have certainly had a great year, gaining recognition within the window industry and beyond, by obtaining yet another business award.

In more news we take a look at the bold and the beautiful, the DoorColour System with a unique paint formulation designed specifically for use on GRP, ABS and PVS surfaces – read more in this issue.

We also hear from Profile Systems, who recently launched SFS Intec’s dynamic hinge range into the Irish market.

Irish fabricators often use four hinges, even on double glazed doors. However, with the additional load carrying ability of the Dynamic hinge from SFS intec, only three fixing points are required to guarantee strength and performance, even with triple glazed doors. The centre pin design provides superior strength with its vertical profile so there is no chance of the hinge dropping or sagging, saving both installation time and additional costs.

Last but not least, here’s wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

See you again in 2015!
