“When we launched our roof lanterns we created three stock sizes to suit a big proportion of installations,” says Craig Miller, Managing Director for AluFoldDirect. “Customers can have them direct from stock which massively reduces waiting time. In fact, orders placed before 10am can be delivered on the same day for many customers. It’s worked. Today, lots of installers have switched to our off the shelf sizes. Knowing they’ll get the kit quickly makes it easy because they can plan ahead and create the perfect sized gap in the roof. The Technic-AL Roof Lantern is designed for quick and easy installation too. They can be fitted out of the box in just 40 minutes using AluFoldDirect’s clever, colour-coded installation method.”
In the four-pane design there are two stock sizes – 1m x 2m and 1.5m x 2.5m, and a 2m x 3m in the multi-pane style. Each of these kits is available in four stock colours – anthracite, white, black and dual anthracite/white. “AluFoldDirect first developed its precision manufacturing in lead times for aluminium bi-fold doors,” adds Craig. “As we have extended our range of aluminium products, we make sure we consistently offer high quality, right first-time aluminium doors, windows and roof lanterns on the fastest lead times. Of course, if customers need a bespoke size or colour, we’ll manufacture it to order and deliver it in 2 weeks. But we are finding that where possible installers are choosing AluFoldDirect’s roof lantern kits available on same day and next day delivery.”
