The Vacuum Glazing Network hails being part of Joinery Network stand at MAFS

The Vacuum Glazing Network (VGN) was one of the most talked about products on show at the recent Material and Finishes Show at the NEC in Birmingham, where it shared an exhibition stand with The Joinery Network and their amazing team and affiliates.

Its vacuum glazing brand, PassivGlas, received much interest across the four days, so much so that VGN needed lots of extra hands-on deck to talk to prospective clients and customers about the product.

The heat booth caused quite a stir, with visitors to the stand saying it was a fantastic visual and tactile way to see and feel the amazing benefits vacuum glazing has in comparison to other glass options.

VGN said the connections made on the day were both valuable, and informative, and many new contacts have been made as a direct result of the exhibition.

It added that being part of The Joinery Network is something it was very proud of.

This was due to it being a group of people and businesses providing quality workmanship and customer experiences, in which the VGN’s vision completely aligns with. It said it also compliments the product VGN has brought to market in the UK.

VGN were very happy with the results from the show and it is said to be ‘looking forward to many more successful events going forward’.
