Are you ready to deliver for homeowners and grow your business in 2024?

Streamlining what you do, playing to your strengths in selling and fitting, and choosing Everglade Windows to deliver your hassle-free fabrication, is the move you need to make.

Why fabrication is hard in 2024 

The state of the market is tough, particularly on the domestic side, due to the current cost of living.  

For small retail fabricators it isn’t easy and there are a lot of issues to face. To start, even the vast amounts of SKUs required to meet the homeowner demands of today cause a problem. From uPVC to aluminium and the huge amount of colour options, it’s hard to stock and store it all.  For one job, you’ve got upfront costs, and then you’re left with profiles which will end up sitting in your unit taking up valuable space.  

Adding to the headache, is then machinery. Not just the high price tag, but the difficulty to keep on top of the technological advances and automation, which if it isn’t embedded properly, you are most likely needing to do timely, manual jobs on.  

Across the next 12 months, there will also be the onerous task of staying on top of testing. As refurbishment requirements marry up with regulations for new builds, certification for Secured by Design and testing to meet new requirements set out in Document Q which will make PAS24:2016 the benchmark standard, will be paramount.  

But all of this is nothing to do with how good you are for your local base of customers, that you excel at selling and fitting for. 2024 could hold many opportunities for window and door retailers. The global focus on energy saving is still driving homeowners to seek products that meet the highest energy efficiency standards and, although cautious, homeowners are starting to think about spending again empowered by cheaper mortgages and lower borrowing rates.  

But the question is, are you ready to take the opportunities in the market?
