Rosewood has experienced such a dramatic increase in demand and popularity over the last few months that some window companies are thinking about replacing mahogany with Rosewood as their standard foiled product, according to Profoil managing director Colin Deans. This richer, more wood like colour was introduced to the industry about four years ago and was positioned alongside Golden Oak as an alternative to the popular mahogany. However, its growth over the years has been about 25 per cent, while mahogany has declined.

'You can physically see the growth in our foil store room,' said Colin Deans. 'Rosewood now takes up double the amount of shelf space that the other colours occupy. Anyone who is not offering rosewood today is losing out on a very lucrative market place.'

Profoil offers an extensive range of colours and finishes from woodgrains, to reds, greens and blues.
