‘Business as usual’ for Luxal is - in Frank’s
own words - “non-mainstream products, at
mainstream prices”; that is Reynaers premi-
um aluminium windows, doors, bifolds and
sliding doors. Established in 1998, Luxal
was formed by former installers, mean-
ing the team has the prior knowledge of
what is required on-site when it comes to
premium product, and ease of installation.
Furthermore the team’s ability to ‘muck in’
and make it work when they’ve been ‘out in
the field’ has no doubt helped them build
a business that bridges the gap between
fabricator and fitter.
we’ve been there,
‘ done
that ’
Frank continues: “Because we’ve ‘been
there, done that’, we know that the best
product on paper is not always the most
suitable on site. As a team, we have been
through all sorts of specifications but we
believe that our current portfolio is the
best we’ve ever had.
“We also make sure to have the
sought-after scale of good, better, best, all
in the Reynaers brand, so that installers
can provide their own customers with the
choice that sets them apart from the rest.
“As previous installers, we also know
that things don’t always go to plan. No one
could have planned for what’s happening
at the moment, but what we can do is do
our very best to keep going.
“As a trade supplier we are used to the
variation of orders when it comes to say
a one-off door or a full spec for a ‘Grand
Designs’ project. We have regular clients
who place quite routine orders with us
and we have installers who only need one
unit every so often. No matter what their
requirements are we always work with the
ethos that we are here when they need us;
not just for a door or a window but with
service and support.
“Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, at
Luxal, that will never ever change.”

Coping with stress
The CP68
The perfect fit and
perfect for fitters
One product from the Luxal
portfolio that has proved popu-
lar indeed, is the CP68 Premium
Aluminium Slimline Sliding Door;
designed by Reynaers specifically
for the replacement and refurb
market.
The CP68’s glazed-in system and
ultra slim sightlines are just the
ticket for homeowners that want
more ‘window’, than door; with
a 68mm outer frame and a tiny
34mm meeting point. The option
of double or triple track makes it
ideal for huge openings on larger
extensions and popular open plan
living spaces; where the homeown-
er can enjoy views of the outside
(and get to show off their state of
the art kitchens and living rooms
to passers by).
The CP68 really ticks all the boxes
for everyone concerned, and cou-
pled with an installation video of
just five steps in 15 minutes, and
first-fit on-site assistance if re-
quired, not only is it the perfect fit
for stylish homeowners, it’s perfect
for fitters too.
Covers pressure and stress,
causes, coping mecha-
nisms, and how we can
build our resilience to
stress.

Meditation
A simple introduction
to meditation from a
construction professional
explaining how a consist-
ent practice can benefit
your mental health every
day.
Compared to this time
last year, calls to the
charity’s 24/7 Construction
Industry Helpline have in-
creased by 55%, reflecting
the rising levels of anxiety
and insecurity within the
construction industry and
the dramatic impact of the
COVID 19 pandemic.
Bill Hill, CEO of the
Lighthouse Construction
Industry said, “Our mission
is to ensure that no worker
feels alone in a crisis and
as part of our charitable
giving we look after the
physical, mental and finan-
cial wellbeing of our con-
struction community in the
UK and Ireland. Now, more
than ever we need to en-
sure that our construction
families in crisis receive
the support that they need
and so the theme of ‘kind-
ness’ for this year’s Mental
Health Awareness Week
resonates perfectly with
us. We are delighted to be
able to offer our wellbe-
ing workshops completely
free of charge to help our
industry during this very
difficult time.
If you need support now,
or know someone that
does, the charity provides a
24/7 Construction Indus-
try Helpline; UK 0345 605
1956 and ROI 1800 939

of contact to access a range
of free and confidential
support services includ-
ing; emergency financial
aid, advice on welfare and
mental wellbeing and sup-
port on legal, tax and debt
management matters.
If you’re not ready to talk
then there is the helpline
mobile app which helps
people experiencing stress,
anxiety or depression as
well as providing access to
other areas of support such
as anger management, drug
and alcohol dependency,
debt management, legal
advice, and emergency
