Deceuninck brings PVC-U service and support to aluminium supply

Deceuninck has committed to shake-up aluminium window and door supply, creating a single point of service, technical support and contact for delivery for its aluminium and PVC-U businesses.

The move, which brings Decalu by Deceuninck Aluminium into the fold of its Wiltshire-based PVC-U operation with immediate effect, gives fabricators a single point of contact for Deceuninck’s PVC-U systems offer – and Decalu, its ultra-energy efficient aluminium system.

The operational restructure also puts stock on the ground in the UK.

Darren Woodcock, General Manager, Deceuninck, who will head up both operations, said that the strategic restructuring of the business, would deliver a step change in service in the aluminium sector, benchmarking service against KPIs normally associated with PVC-U systems supply.

“As a PVC-U business we cemented our reputation for service, support and flexibility, during the pandemic, with an industry leading OTIF”, Darren said.

“Still consistently above 98%, we continue to deliver an outstanding service, combined with exceptional marketing support.

“We’re now extending that in-depth resource, the flexibility and the personal touch that we bring to PVC-U systems supply, to Deceuninck Aluminium, to redefine expectations of service and support in aluminium.”

Decalu was launched in 2020 offering u-values as low as 0.67W/m2k, in aluminium windows and doors.

This includes the Decalu88 Bi-fold, the Decalu163 Lift-and-Slide, and a complete range of casement, including the Decalu88 Flush; tilt-and-turn; fully reversible; and steel-type heritage windows; an aluminium entrance door; and steel heritage style internal door and partitioning system.

One of Decalu’s many USPs, is that it offers manufacturing efficiencies and time savings of 30-40% over other premium aluminium systems. This includes in addition to the single inner frame and mid-section, integrated insulation and pre-inserted, flush to the bead, co-extruded gaskets.

Darren continued: “Decalu also comes with a PVC-U Eurogroove, which means that it accepts standard hardware. The point being that if you’re running a PVC-U line, you don’t have to buy in, and stock separate aluminium hardware alongside it.

“That increases your competitivity, creating opportunities for Deceuninck fabricators across PVC-U and aluminium, including commercial applications and hybrid PVC-U aluminium installations.”

Decalu is supplied in a marine grade finish as standard and dual colour at no extra cost.

“Decalu by Deceuninck Aluminium is a standout aluminium offer on its own right, delivering outstanding thermal performance, while maximising fabrication and installation efficiencies”, Darren added.

“With our experience of delivering an industry-leading OTIF in PVC-U, stock on the ground in the UK, and expert technical, sales and marketing support, the wins for Deceuninck fabricator are even bigger.”
