Reading-based Star Safety Glazing has signed a three-year supply agreement with Stellar Aluminium Systems, marking a significant shift in its aluminium window and door offering.
The family-run business, owned by Bobby and Shila Sekhon, has made a strategic move away from its previous supplier to exclusively manufacture Stellar’s award-winning aluminium window and door system, demonstrating the strong market appeal and growing demand for the Stellar brand.
Impressed by the system’s slim sightlines, fabricator-friendly design and pre-gasketed profiles, Star Safety Glazing quickly recognised the potential for Stellar to elevate its offering across trade, domestic and commercial sectors. Bobby said: “From the start, it was clear that Stellar aligned with our ambition to offer a premium product that doesn’t compromise on performance or appearance. The fact that it’s so straightforward to fabricate and comes pre-gasketed makes a huge difference on the shop floor. And because the gaskets don’t shrink or overstretch, we can be confident that every unit goes out with a perfect, consistent finish.”
Support has also been a major factor in the success of the switchover. Bobby added: “The team at Stellar have been proactive and incredibly supportive. Their training during the transition period has been excellent and the level of service and ongoing communication we’ve received throughout has been second to none.”
A further advantage for Star Safety Glazing has been access to Connect, Stellar’s award-winning digital portal. The platform gives fabricators instant access to technical documentation, specification support, marketing assets, imagery, brochures and point-of-sale materials, empowering them to grow their business with ease. Bobby said: “Connect is a brilliant resource and it gives us everything we need in one place, whether we’re quoting a job, looking for technical data, or pulling together marketing materials. It will make our day-to-day operations much smoother and far more efficient.”
In addition, Stellar’s market-leading five-day turnaround on stocked colours has allowed Star Safety Glazing to deliver at speeds comparable to the PVC-U sector, keeping projects on track and customers happy.
The company now manufactures the complete Stellar Aluminium range including Flush Casement Windows, Flush Residential Doors, Bifold Doors, the Inline Sliding Door and the Stellar Lift & Slide Door.
Jon Foulds, Key Account Manager at Stellar Aluminium, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Bobby, Shila and the team at Star Safety Glazing. They’re a quality-driven, customer-focused business and exactly the kind of partner we want representing the Stellar brand. We look forward to supporting their continued growth.”
