This latest video takes the viewer through the installation of a 6-pane set of Alutech BF73 bi-folding doors with a moving corner post, while also highlighting the benefits of the system. You can watch the video that shows the installation process step-by-step by scanning the QR code or at https://qrco.de/bclPEA. The video is intended to offer support to experienced installers who may be unfamiliar with the Alutech BF73 system, as well as acting as a training guide for those new to the trade. The Company is also actively encouraging its network of approved fabricators to include the videos on their websites to act as an effective selling tool to the end-user. The video also demonstrates the ease of installation and highlights some of the benefits of the BF73 system that often go overlooked but make a huge difference to its performance and quality, such as the single inline roller carriage. As it relies on fewer wheels, it creates less friction when in operation and is, therefore, smoother running. What’s more, it is easier to locate onto one track as opposed to two tracks. The wheels are also larger to accommodate 120kg sash weight and the weight of the sash is distributed over one point instead of two points meaning no ‘tipping action’ occurs when the doors are stacked out together. The hinge element is also slimline to help it blend into the gasket lines for great aesthetics. Managing Director, Steve Hudson, commented, “We’ve been overwhelmed with how well our series of fabrication and installation videos have been received and have got some great feedback from our customers about them. We have plans in the pipeline to produce many more videos over the coming year and are also encouraging our clients to include our videos on their websites so that their customers can see how great our products are.” Find out why Alutech Systems is the UK’s fastest-growing aluminium systems supplier by subscribing to their channel at https://qrco.de/bccCFL .
