Carl F Groupco is highlighting sustained hardware demand for casement windows. Owen Coop, CEO of Carl F Groupco, explains: “While the industry has recently shifted its focus towards feature windows and their value-added potential, for most fabricators it is the standard casement window that remains a core product. This segment represents a significant proportion of sales and continues to experience steady growth, as reflected in the demand for casement hardware.”
Carl F Groupco stocks an extensive portfolio of lock and handle options for casement windows, encompassing everything from the reliable basics to advanced value-added options that bring greater opportunities. Remote window control systems and enhanced security add-ons help customers maximise every sales opportunity.
The company stocks 57 hardware brands including Roto, Siegenia, Fuhr, Maco and Yale. Together with window locks and handles, add-on hardware such as friction stays and vents provide a complete window hardware solution from one company.
Carl F Groupco also stocks a comprehensive selection of specialist window hardware solutions for reversible, tilt-and-turn and vertical sliding windows. Owen said: “Our window hardware portfolio is extensive and designed to meet the evolving needs of the industry. While casement window hardware remains a vital part of our offer, we understand the importance of delivering high-quality solutions for every window application, no matter the project requirements.”
In addition to the strength of its hardware offer, Carl F Groupco is also renowned for exceptional customer support. This includes bespoke hardware kit options tailored to individual customer needs, whether it is profile-specific components or mixed manufacturer parts to complete a window set.
The company holds up to £5 million in stock at any one time and has an ‘On Time In Full’ target of 98%, which it measured on orders rather than by component, a much more stringent standard. It can make daily, next-day deliveries, including to Scotland and the Scottish Highlands, helping customers keep their stock holding low, reducing risk and improving cash flow.
Owen notes: “While similar window hardware products might be available elsewhere, the strength of our service truly adds value for our customers.”
Whether casement window hardware or any other kind of window hardware, Carl F Groupco continues to be an impressive partner.
