The Joinery Network stand at the Materials and Finishes Show 2024

The Joinery Network’s Timber Zone comes to FIT Show 2025

The Joinery Network’s Timber Zone comes to FIT Show 2025

The Joinery Network returns to FIT Show 2025 at the NEC in Birmingham, with its Timber Zone designed for visitors to get to grips with timber windows and doors and find out the profit opportunities for manufacturers and installers.

At the Timber Zone, visitors can watch daily live demos of how to make a timber window, see a selection of the most popular products within the Lignum range, and talk to experts from The Joinery Network, its supply chain and affiliates.

Come and see the Lignum Range

Andy Ball, Director at The Joinery Network says: “Against a tough market, the last 12 months have seen a huge increase in interest for timber windows. We will show how manufacturing and installation companies can tap into this profitable, growing market.

“Products come first. Over the last six years we have developed Lignum, The Joinery Network’s independent and fully tested range of timber windows and doors. In fact, all products in the Lignum range are Doc Q, PAS 24 and SBD accredited.

“Lignum is also designed for the UK housing stock, so visitors to the stand will find products that will appeal to their customers with both traditional and modern window and door styles. Also on show will be the stunning Gutmann Lignum wood-aluminium window and door system.

“Lignum insulated timber entrance doors will take centre stage on the stand, with 57 striking designs and lots of glass options by decorative glass leaders RegaLead.  

“To make it easy for installation companies to add the Lignum range, we are excited to launch our new trade supply service through our Lignum manufacturing network.

“Following the success at the Materials and Finishes Show last year, we now have more manufacturing capacity. And that means at FIT Show we have more to offer fabricators and installers, there will be more products and experts on the stand.

“So visitors can find out how they can add timber windows and doors into their product mix, to make more profit in 2025 and beyond.”

Andy adds: “The FIT Show organisers have added strength to their commitment to timber this year, by having celebrity joiner and carpenter Robin Clevett, as an ambassador to the show. Which is why we believe it’s time for timber.”
