Start with the news release Catnic timber frame steel lintels in Exeter from Catnic, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Catnic lintels were specified for Cowley Bridge Road, a 219-bedroom student accommodation building in Exeter, because of their durability and longevity.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release National consumer poll by super-fabricator Sierra from Epwin Group: "New national survey reveals that appearance and security are the single most important factors for homeowners when buying new windows and doors. ".
 
In September 2011, we covered the news from Permadoor - take a look at New Safedoors retail offer from Permadoor which says: "Permadoor, supported by the Epwin Group have launched a dedicated retail offer for fabricators and installers.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Lindapter, Award winning cavity fixings from Lindapter, as well as Geberit pipe fittings specified for safety from Geberit, and Ronacrete repair for Manchester orbital motorway from Ronacrete.
