A new button-head version of Rapierstar's popular STARFIX® masonry fixing, which incorporates a unique combination of advanced design features, enables PVCu and timber window and door installers to work faster and achieve a superior-quality installation more easily.
You can tell a Rapierstar screw because each one has a unique ‘Tri-thread’ hallmark stamped on its head. This is the real mark of performance and quality, but is not the only assurance you get with a Rapierstar product. Celebrating 25 years of design, development and supply of specialist fasteners and fixings, 75% of screws now used in fenestration in the UK and Ireland are Rapierstar products.
Rapierstar has extended its support to Garnalex to help fabricators of its highly innovative Sheerline aluminium systems achieve greater production efficiency, optimum performance and consistent quality.
Rapierstar has worked with Garnalex since the inception of Sheerline back in 2020. Its fasteners were used in the very first sample windows and doors tested prior to the launch of the systems, and its supply partnership has grown ever since. Over the past five years, the company has provided extensive advice and guidance on fastener selection for testing, new product development and to assist fabricators – and it is here where its support has been expanded.
Camden Group, the UK’s largest PVCu window and door manufacturer, has relied on Rapierstar as its trusted supply chain partner for over a decade to ensure their products achieve top-tier fastener durability and sustainability. The County Antrim-based window and door manufacturer emphasises using high-quality, eco-friendly materials that maximise longevity and performance. Their commitment aligns seamlessly with Rapierstar’s standards, backed by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.
Rapierstar has supported the technical team at Cotswold Architectural Products during the development of an innovative multi-functional friction stay to be launched in 2025, as part of its long term partnership. Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Cotswold was the first company in the UK and Europe to manufacture friction stays in 1976.
Rapierstar is supporting a long-established 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 and it is now one of Scotland’s largest window and door manufacturers.
An expanding window and door trade counter network has introduced Rapierstar branded fasteners to its product portfolio. Europlas (PVCu) is a division of the Rooms & Views Manufacturing Group, which produces more than 1,800 windows and doors every week at its factories in North and South Wales, and Scotland.
The Republic of Ireland’s largest distributor of Rapierstar fasteners to the window and door industry is marking its 30th anniversary this year. Dublin-based Universal Products has developed over three decades to become one of the country’s leading distributors in the fenestration sector, offering fabricators and installers some of Europe’s top hardware brands.
