Trade contractors looking for quick deliveries, short-lead times and a reliable powder coating service are increasingly turning to Senior Architectural Systems, with the leading fenestration systems manufacturer reporting a significant rise in the number of trade customers asking for its recently launched Ali range of aluminium doors and windows.

Following a number of new product developments, Senior has strengthened its domestic offering to include the Ali VU window and Ali FOLD door range and has gone on to secure both new trade accounts and new domestic contracts.  With a strong heritage in the commercial construction sector, Senior’s commitment to delivering unrivalled customer service has seen the company make a number of key investments in its in-house facilities, ranging from upgrading its delivery fleet to improving the efficiency of its state of the art powder-coating line.

In response to demand, Senior has recently expanded its storage capacity for its Ali aluminium patio and bi-folding door profiles. The new 10,000 sq ft facility enables Senior to hold a greater amount of stock and offer some of the shortest lead times in the industry, with delivery of stocked single and dual colour profiles (anthracite grey and hipca white) available within just three days. Short lead times for non-standard colour powder coated profiles can also be guaranteed as rather than outsourcing, all powder-coating can be done at Senior’s in-house facility which is one of the most advanced in the UK.

As well as Senior’s HQ in Denaby Main near Doncaster, the company also has distribution centres in Wales and Scotland and the company’s own fleet of 17 five star eco delivery vehicles that make regular deliveries across the UK and Ireland.

Commenting, Senior’s sales director James Keeling-Heane said: “We are always looking at ways to enhance and maintain our high levels of customer service and a key part of this is ensuring that we not only have the products that our customers need but that they are delivered when they need them.  Investment in our in –house resources means that we can provide a reliable ‘one stop shop’ service and through the additional support that our nationwide team of technical sales managers offer, we are looking forward to continuing to build our network of trade customers working in the domestic glazing market.”
