A natural partnership

A natural partnership

The shared ideals and values of improving standards and quality in the market, has culminated in a strategic partnership between GUTMANN and The Joinery Network to create a new GUTMANN LIGNUM wood-aluminium window and door system.

The new timber-aluclad product has been specifically designed by aluminium specialists, GUTMANN, and The Joinery Network to suit the UK’s housing stock. The system benefits from the certification and Secured By Design accreditation awarded across the comprehensive Lignum range of windows and doors.

Paul Barden, GUTMANN Director UK & Ireland, said: “The Joinery Network is a natural partner for GUTMANN as we share a vision of producing top quality, sustainable window and door systems. Working together we have utilised each other’s strengths and knowledge to develop a high-performance product, ensuring the aesthetics were right for UK homes and buildings.”

Luke Piper, Founder Partner for The Joinery Network, added: “Joinery manufacturers and installation companies have been asking us for a timber aluclad window and door range that fits in with UK houses. The new GUTMANN LIGNUM suite represents a significant addition to our fully Document Q certified offer. It’s been brilliant working with GUTMANN to develop this new range, and it will give our members more choice and opportunities to promote truly sustainable windows and doors.”
