GT Snap Lok, the latest ground-breaking component developed by GT Window Products, is set to make its debut at the FIT Show.
Making full use of the company’s 20 years’ expertise in security design, GT Snap Lok enables window and door manufacturers to meet the latest building regulation requirements to ensure sealed window and door units can not be forcibly removed.
Needing no screws or additional profile related packers, the unique design of the one-piece clip means the component doesn’t need to be added whilst the units are in production. Instead, GT Snap Lok is simply slotted into place by fitters out on site during the installation process.
“We work very closely with fabricators so we know what their issues are,” explained Carl Taylor, Managing Director of GT Window Products, “A key driver has been the need to make sure their products meet building regulations requirements, in particular Document Q which became active for new builds and extensions in October last year and includes PAS 24.
“GT Snap Lok helps them secure glass units in line with the new standards but it also offers additional benefits as well, which is why we consider it to be a game changer in the market.
“As a one-piece component that can be used in a variety of different profiles, GT Snap Lok doesn’t need to be added during production. As the units are being installed, fitters add the component, snapping it into place, and the window or door is secure.”
The expertise behind GT Snap Lok spans two decades when the business launched the GT Securi-Clip, which became the only recognised solution to help window and door fabricators meet vital tests that prevent sealed units from being forcibly removed.
The new component benefits from GT’s rich heritage in security design coupled with the benefits of the latest tooling technology. The design combines the needs of fabricators to meet the latest regulatory standards as cost effectively as possible with those of the fitters who are focused on making installation quicker and easier.
