New partnership strengthens hardware expertise for TJN Members

BJ Waller, founder partner of The Joinery Network (TJN) and its preferred hardware and ironmongery supplier, has announced a new partnership with hardware specialist Window Ware, a major UK distributor of window and door hardware.

Andy Ball, Managing Director of The Joinery Network, commented: “We are very excited about the benefits this new partnership will bring to our members. Having the backing of one of the top hardware distributors in the fenestration industry adds a significant level of expertise and hardware products to support our fast-growing network of Lignum timber window and door manufacturers. News of this partnership couldn’t have come at a better time, especially as timber continues to increase its market share.

“It’s been a highly successful year for TJN and it’s joinery members,” added Andy. “The Timber Zone display at FIT Show featured the latest Lignum products from our UK manufacturers, offering new opportunities for window installers. We have also partnered with GGF, working together on a new Timber Window Technical Group to support the sector. More products are in development and will feature at Professional Woodworking Expo, along with some exciting hardware options.

“TJN’s fully tested and certified system Lignum is at the forefront in the fast-developing timber market, offering both manufacturers and installers a simple solution for windows and doors.”
