Rapid Frame has chosen aluplast as its PVC-U window and door system supply partner. The Walsall trade fabricator sees the aluplast’s new Ideal 70 system as the product to further advance its Formula One branded package.

Our approach is quite simple and direct’, says Rapid Frame Managing Director Martin Corcoran. ‘We support our customers by offering a complete business partnership and branded package and we always treat our customers as we ourselves would like to be treated’.

Why aluplast? ‘We had enjoyed a good working relationship with Schüco since we started, and while we were considering offering a 70mm product to our line up it had never really entered our heads to leave them.’ explains Martin. ‘When they announced their decision to stop PVC-U supply in the UK we obviously needed to find a new partner to help us continue moving forward to achieve our business ambitions. We took a good in-depth look at the market and at the various supplier options available to us, visiting several systems houses in the process.’

aluplast commercial director Alan Fielder comments ‘Rapid Frame is a business we have admired from a distance for quite some time and we are absolutely delighted to be working with such a dynamic and progressive outfit.

‘Everyone at Rapid Frame is so positive and enthusiastic about the business and their contribution to it’, continues Alan.
