2025 has been a milestone year for the Glazerite UK Group, with the fabricator celebrating 25 years in business and a successful FIT Show. Now it’s all eyes on FIT Show 2027, with Glazerite returning as an exhibitor and VIP Lounge sponsor.
This year’s event attracted thousands of visitors; many of whom stopped by Glazerite’s stand to find out what the fabricator has on offer for installers. Michelle Wright, Glazerite’s Head of Group Marketing, says: “This year’s event was our best yet. There was a real energy around the halls, and it was great to see so many familiar and new faces. We were inundated with interest in the exciting and innovative products we showcased on our stand and the adjacent VIP Lounge.”
The products on display were the result of collaborative efforts from the fabricator’s employees and its suppliers, with highlights including VEKA OMNIA Tilt & Turn windows and an OMNIA engineered door, all fabricated with a Timberweld joint. Meanwhile Glazerite also showcased an M70 finished in the new Feinstruktur foil and a Vertical Slider with run through horns, deep bottom rail and mechanical joints.
Glazerite’s fully kitemarked Flood Door collaboration was also on show and was well received by installers interested to know more about the support and expertise available from Glazerite’s partners and flood technology specialists, M3 Floodtec.
Just across from Glazerite’s stand, the VIP Lounge proved the perfect location to showcase two of Glazerite’s Deceuninck Triple Track Sliders, with one door glazed in satin glass and the other finished with Morley integral blinds.
Michelle says: “We’d like to give a special mention to Guy Hubble from Regalead who supported us heavily in the run up to the show, giving us a stunning original glass design and panel for our new engineered door, and an accompanying brochure, with the product drawing a lot of compliments. Visitors were also keen to see the VEKA OMNIA Tilt & Turn in action, while our commercially-focused installers were interested in our commercial spec casement Deceuninck 2500 window and the ALUK casement.”
Glazerite also worked with DoorCo to provide several door samples for their nearby stand, where the full range of outerframes available were on show, including Halo Rustique and System 10, M70, FS70, Deceuninck 2500 and Deceuninck 2800 plus Glazerite’s Ultion ALPs and Ultion Sweet offering and smart technology from KUBU and Ultion NUKI.
DoorCo’s Managing Director, Dan Sullivan, says: “When it comes to preparing for shows of this scale, it really is a matter of teamwork. We were incredibly grateful for the support offered by Glazerite to fabricate and finish our doors for the stand. The time they took out of their usual workflow to support us was a massive help. We were thrilled with the finished doorsets and enjoyed a lot of compliments from visitors on the products.”
Matt Keight, M3 Global Flood Technologies’ Managing Director, adds: “We have worked closely with Glazerite on the development of our Flood Door product, with FIT Show the perfect opportunity for us to showcase it to a broader audience as part of our ongoing partnership.”
With Glazerite celebrating 25 years in business, the team also welcomed a host of suppliers, installers and other industry stakeholders to a celebratory party in the VIP Lounge. Michelle adds: “FIT Show 2025 was the perfect place for us to mark a significant year. Thanks to Nickie West and the entire FIT Show team for another brilliant and rewarding experience. We can’t wait for 2027!”
Nickie West, FIT Show Event Director concludes: “We were delighted to welcome Glazerite back as our VIP Lounge sponsor at FIT Show 2025, which was a special edition for them as they celebrated their 25th anniversary. Glazerite’s presence brought real energy to the show floor, and their commitment to creating a dedicated space for networking and collaboration was invaluable for our visitors. The buzz in the VIP Lounge reflected both the strength of Glazerite’s relationships and their ongoing investment in the industry – the use of products on the lounge really elevated their presence. We’re grateful for their continued support and look forward to seeing how their campaign and innovations will shape the future of our sector and can’t wait to welcome them back for FIT Show 2027.”
