This is our final blog of 2024 so we wanted to say a huge thank you to all our customers and readers. It’s been a tough year for the construction sector, but you’ve been knocking it out of the park with your building projects.
We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to bring you exciting new products and offers. We launched our new EDGEseal Silicone, in the summer one lucky customer won a PlayStation 5, we’ve given out loads of Greggs sausage rolls, launched the deX decking and Triton cladding ranges, and introduced 20mm aluminium trims to our catalogue. Plus, we’ve welcomed more customers than ever before – it’s great to have met so many new trades across the South-East and nationally too.
We look forward to working with you and sharing more fantastic installations in 2025. But, for now, let’s catch up on the top trends, most popular products, and top installations of this past year.

Hottest Trends: Top 3 Colours of 2024
With so many interesting builds and renovations happening this year, lots of customers have installed a few different colours of window trim or roofline. However, nothing could shake these top three colours from the podium. Check out these colours in both our foiled window trims and PVC roofline ranges.
1. Anthracite Grey
Sophisticated and striking, anthracite grey has been hugely popular this year as homeowners look to modernise their properties with aluminium windows and Anthracite Grey composite doors and roofline.
2. Chartwell Green
Adding traditional charm to a property, Chartwell Green has brought a splash of colour to lots of window trims. Plus, check out our Fortex Cladding in Sage Green, perfect for coastal properties and big renovations.
3. White Ash
A classic, White Ash is used across a variety of window profiles and fits in seamlessly. White Ash can also brighten up a roofline when paired with white PVC guttering.
New for 2025!
20mm Aluminium Trims
Our aluminium trims have been so popular this year that we’ve added a new size to our range! We’re now offering aluminium trims in 20mm widths across all 3 colours: Matt Black, Anthracite Grey and Gloss White. Our aluminium trims are powder coated for improved durability and feature a ridged underside to aid adhesion. Plus, if you need a specialist colour, we can spray aluminium trims to any RAL colour.
Triton Cladding
Available in two finishes, Slatted and Shiplap, our new Triton Cladding is a versatile option for any home or building. Crafted from WPC (wood plastic composite) these boards will not warp, rot, or splinter and are highly resistance to weathering. These boards are lightweight, making them easier to install. Plus, we supply all of the necessary clips, screws and corners you will need. Available in Charcoal, Golden Teak, and Light Grey, Triton Cladding creates a sophisticated finish while still mimicking the look of timber cladding.
