Fastener supplier, Rapierstar, is supporting a Scottish window and door manufacturer and installer to realise its growth ambitions by helping it to keep its product quality and factory productivity on track.

Lanarkshire based Precision Windows is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. It is now one of Scotland’s largest window and door manufacturers – producing both PVC-U and aluminium products.

It remains a family owned and managed business, currently employing 100 people. It puts its long term success and recent strong growth down to a focus on quality and product performance, rather than aiming to sell at the lowest possible price.

The strategy requires the right infrastructure, skills and supply chain partners. The company now regularly between produces between 1,200 and 1,300 windows and doors a week, serving a mix of domestic, trade and commercial customers across Scotland

The company uses the Veka FS70 fully sculptured and M70 bevelled systems, in combination with hardware products from ERA, with a suite of Rapierstar fasteners which optimises finished product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

Ewan Hunter, the retail manager at Precision Windows says: “Our focus on quality has been one of the most important factors in our long-term success because customers rightly want to know what benefits their investment in new windows and doors will bring – not just how little it will cost. Being able to offer a portfolio that we know is at the forefront of the market in Scotland in terms of long-term functionality and performance has helped us to gain an important competitive advantage. These products are all underpinned by the right components and systems.

“Everything matters in the window or door’s assembly, including the screws, which is why we only use Rapierstar products. Their technical support helps us to ensure the correct fasteners are used throughout the numerous product types we offer and achieve a high level of consistency that meets our quality assurance regime.”
