Catnic progress product offering to bolster market position

19 Jan 2009

Mike Murphy, Sales and Marketing Director at Catnic, comments: “Both the declining economy and the sustainability agenda currently present the construction industry with considerable challenges. However, in some respects the faltering economy simply serves to provide us with a new perspective on how best to maintain the forward drive when it comes to extracting value from an otherwise static market.”

Catnic’s new 88-page Lintel Product Selector is therefore positioned as one of the most comprehensive available, offering customers’ unprecedented ease of access to information on Catnic’s full product portfolio, technical engineering and support services – ensuring they are making an informed choice when it comes to selecting the right lintel and supporting steelwork to best meet specification requirements.

Murphy continues: “For instance, with increasing emphasis on improving buildings thermal efficiencies, UK building regulations are driving major technical development for wider cavity lintels. Having seen a dramatic increase in demand for 90mm from the 70mm, we have now introduced a new range of cavity wall lintels to suit 110mm, 130mm and 150mm cavities to cater for buildings in severe exposure areas.”

Recognising that architects are moving away from standard building designs and taking a more creative approach in the design of buildings across the public and private sector, Catnic’s new Lintel Product Selector also acknowledges the increasing demand for special and custom made lintels therefore incorporating 15-pages of information dedicated to the range of products and technical services of which customers can take advantage.

Murphy adds: “Catnic’s fast and cost effective fabrication service means custom made lintels can be designed, manufactured and delivered within a few days - making it easier than ever for customers to realise their ambitious building designs.”

In addition, as well as featuring an easy to use icon referencing system to assist users in understanding key product features, the new Product Selector also provides guidance on specification clauses and quality assurance from the regulatory authorities.
