A Kestrel-BCE product story
Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Jul 28, 2006

New product innovation at Kestrel Building Products has resulted in the launch of a dramatically-improved range of wood-effect foiled corners, joints and end-caps.

New product innovation at Kestrel Building Products has resulted in the launch of a dramatically-improved range of wood-effect foiled corners, joints and end-caps.

The new products achieve the best-ever colour match with their corresponding roofline and window boards.

A closely-guarded, unique manufacturing process is behind the consistent and authentic appearance of the new products, promising installers seamless finishing with Kestrel's Wood Grain, Sherwood Grain, Black Grain and Rosewood PVC-UE foiled boards.

Kestrel was the first company in the industry to laminate corners and joints with the same foil as used on its boards and trims, using a patented process.

Now Kestrel is leading the way again with a pioneering new manufacturing technique.

The result is improved colour consistency and matching across the range with the same price, part number and 10-year durability guarantee.

All Kestrel foiled corners, joints and end-caps will now be based on an injection moulded component in a range of matching solid colours so that there is no unsightly show-through once the product is cut and installed.

As part of the innovations, Kestrel is relaunching its brilliant white and foiled 135deg internal and external corner joints.

Both wood-grain and white joints are now injection moulded rather than vacuum formed.

The foil is then applied with a unique new laminating process to achieve a consistently-improved colour match with the corresponding boards.

Kestrel is a privately-owned company with 140,000 sq ft state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Scunthorpe, Lincs.

By keeping 100% control of production, raw material sourcing and blending of its PVC-U and PVC-UE profiles, Kestrel strives for consistent high quality and value through lean manufacturing to ISO9000 quality management standards.

The company's purpose-designed warehouse facilities, located near Stoke-on-Trent, provide a central hub for efficient UK distribution, guaranteeing ready availability to Kestrel stockists nationwide.

Paul Neilson, Managing Director of Kestrel Building Products commented: "As a stable, privately-owned company, Kestrel invests in product innovation to achieve consistently high standards for our customers.

The new joints are a significant step forward for the Kestrel product range and demonstrate our determination to meet customer demands for quality and value.".
