Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk New Universal Reinforcing Profile for Roller Garage Doors Leading UK supplier of Alutech roller shutter components and sectional garage doors, JD (UK) Ltd, is pleased to announce the introduction a new universal reinforcing profile. This new profile is an advanced alternative to the previous end slat and is designed for roller doors made from roll-formed profiles. Advantages of the new product: • Additional bottom slats can be added to the curtain to give extra rigidity to the curtain and protect it from deformation (from accidental vehicle collision, pressure). • Installing the new profile in the upper part of the curtain reduces the loading impact on the side locks of roll- formed profiles, which can appear when covering wide openings. • A wide range of colours are available, to mirror those currently available and including the increasingly popular graphite colour. • Compatible with existing components – the new reinforcing slat can be used with SP/77E side locks, IS1/77 and IS15 rubber inserts. There is no need to order additional components. General Manager, Paul Hargreaves, commented: “JD (UK) and Alutech Group share the same values of always going the extra mile for their customers. Alutech Group meets the demands of its clients by creating new, modern products and improving existing ones. And we, at JD (UK), provide UK-based stock holding and responsive delivery, with friendly customer service and expert technical support. The new universal reinforcing profile will be rolled out once existing stock is depleted.” For more information, call: 01924 472924, email: sales@jdukltd.co.uk or visit www.alutechgaragedoors.co.uk .
