WEST MERCIA UNVEILS NEW 95MM FOAM-FILLED LATH A new 95mm foam-filled lath - the WM95 - from West Mercia Sections is proving popular with roller door manufacturers across the UK. The WM95 is a twin skin profile roll formed from a single strip of material, with a full polyurethane foam-filled central core - giving it outstanding thermal and acoustic properties. The lath benefits from a Class 5 wind load up to 10,000mtrs and a 1.1 U Value through its central core. There are 15 anti-scratch proof colours to choose from, all made from an exclusive glittery material with a high environmental position. This is just the latest addition to an extensive range of roller door accessories manufactured by the Dudley-based firm, which is one of the UK’s largest manufacturers of cold rolled steel sections. West Mercia manufactures 1000s of products from their 2 UK manufacturing facilities. As well as roller shutter door laths of various sizes, other products include angle sections in both 3mm and 5mm, guide sections, end locks and bottom rails. “I think the quality of our products, coupled with fast turnaround times thanks to a nationwide distribution service, is very appealing to our door sector clients,” says Robert Tuckey Jnr, Sales Director at West Mercia Sections. “However, we are always looking to improve our service and, judging by the high amount of enquiries we are dealing with, this latest lath is a very useful addition to our range.” To find out more about the WM95, contact Robert Tuckey Jnr on 0121 557 9927, or email sales@westmerciasections.co.uk 71 THE door industry journal winter 2016
