Apeer’s Lumi Window and Door Systems into the G Awards Finals!

Ballymena, Northern Ireland–based door and window manufacturer Apeer has been chosen as a finalist in this year’s G Awards, the prestigious and highly sought after window and door industry ‘Oscars’.

Selected in the popular New Product of the Year category by the judges for its Lumi window and door system that was launched earlier this year, Apeer’s managing director Asa McGillian says that word spread ‘like wildfire’ through the factory when the news was announced: “The hearts and souls of everyone at our factory have gone into Lumi,” said an ecstatic Asa. “This is the first time that we have entered the G Awards but I have watched people go up to collect their Awards on the night and wondered what that must feel like. I hope I will find out but I imagine it must be nerve wracking waiting to hear!”

Lumi is a groundbreaking new range of customisable, matching frameless windows and bi-folding, patio and residential doors. The secret to Lumi’s superb aesthetics, performance and strength is the triple glazed units that are bonded to an internal core of high-strength glass reinforced plastic (GRP) frames, the external pane of which offers uninterrupted, edge-to-edge glazing. The system is a radical new approach for residential windows and doors.

Lumi Looks to Trade With Second Grand Designs Event

Apeer, maker of the radical seamless Lumi window and door system, is aiming to build on its fabricator base as well as appeal to consumers at Grand Designs Live in Birmingham, on 8th-11th October.

Lumi proved to be a show-stopper when it was unveiled at the London Grand Designs Live in May. Now Marketing Manager Linda Tomb says the company is inviting more fabricators to see the system for themselves and become a part of its success.

“The response from consumers was overwhelming,” she said, “Everyone wanted to know more about it and where they could get it. That showed us very clearly the kind of demand we can expect and now we are looking to grow our fabricator base to match that demand.

“This is of course predominantly a consumer show – and we expect every bit as much interest from homeowners as the London event – but there is also a strong trade element among visitors and, until the FIT Show next year, we believe this will be the best opportunity to introduce Lumi to them.”

Lumi, with its structurally bonded construction and radically seamless appearance, was launched as a complete window and door system including bi-folds and all will be on show at Birmingham.

Linda Tomb said: “The complete Lumi system means anyone can have any combination of windows, doors and bi-folds that are an exact match, not just a close approximation as in many other cases.

“This is just one more reason why fabricators should come along to the Grand Designs Live, take a very close look at Lumi and think seriously about becoming a part of its success.”

Lumi Sheds New Light On Windows

Apeer, the leading edge manufacturer of composite door sets, has entered the windows market with a groundbreaking new, structurally bonded window and door glazing system.

A first in its field, the radically styled new Lumi collection is set to bring the seamless sophistication of iconic glass structure to the residential housing market. The design-led range of frameless windows, doors, entrance glazing, French doors and a bi-fold door system is being launched at Grand Designs (May 2-10, ExCel, London).

Offering a frame-free, ‘wall of light profile’ the triple glazed Lumi collection is distinguished by its fused ceramic colour border. This is available in eight different exterior colours and eight further interior finishes.

“Entering the glazing market is a natural next step for us. We’ve in depth knowledge of the sector and producing a fibre glass window collection is an obvious progression for our business” said Asa McGillian. As the md of Apeer he has been the driving force behind the company’s innovative all-GRP composite doors and contemporary Modo collection.

Lumi itself has been in development for more than two-and-a-half years and represents an investment of nearly a million pounds for the company.

Said Asa: “I knew that if we were going to enter the windows market I wanted to do it with a radically different product. One that would offer an alternative to anything else out there and would appeal to consumers looking for the kind of cutting edge design with which they could make a lifestyle statement.”

As well as being available in a full suite of matching designs, Lumi has a host of construction and performance benefits:

stormproof design with flush proportional glazing (the double rebate is completely hidden)

50mm triple glazed (6-4-4) toughened glass for maximum insulation and noise reduction

80mm GRP double rebate frame offers exceptional U-values – as low as 0.7w/m2k on fixed glazing panels

Triple gasket seal

Double euro groove allows for versatile hardware options, concealed hinges and window locks

High security Winkhaus lock system

Kitemark glass and Kitemark Lumi composite front door options

Fab & Fix hardware

Variable clear glazing options

Concealed hinges offer smooth action, high weight load opening and wide opening

Lumi comes with a 10 year guarantee (structural, mechanical and colour fast).

Said Asa McGillian:”What we have done is apply our leading edge technology skills to the windows sector to offer homeowners an exciting new alternative to PVC, hardwood, timber-aluminium composites and powder coated aluminium options.”

Lumi windows are available as left and right opening options, fixed panes and top openers. External colour options are light blue, black, white, cream, light grey, Chartwell green, anthracite grey and slate blue. Exterior finish choices are in halo white, cream, black, anthracite grey, AnTeak, Siena, Winchester and Swamp Oak.
