WHY COTSWOLD, YOU MAY ASK?
Well, Cotswold were the first company to manufacture friction stays in the UK. They have been supplying window manufacturers for 29 years from their purpose built 60,000 sq.ft premises in Cheltenham.
Many of today’s friction stays amongst them Securistyle, DGS, Laird (Euromond), were based on the original design by Cotswold Architectural Products, from which the FS range evolved.
IN 2008, Cotswold are manufacturing more than 2.5 million pairs of friction stays a year, that’s around 50,0000 pairs, each and every week!
They are the UK’s second largest manufacturer of friction stays, and the second largest window handle manufacturer, thanks to their casement handles, the majority of which are exported throughout the world, and can be found in buildings as far afield as China, Thailand, Peru and New Zealand, not to mention exotic locations like Madagascar and Mauritius! Wherever an architect specifies window hardware for a building, you can be sure he is considering Cotswold Heavy Duty stays for his prestigious project. In the UK, still their biggest market, they are widely specified on social housing contracts as a result of their reputation for quality, exhaustive testing and numerous recommendations and referrals. Cotswold Architectural Products manufacture the most comprehensive and diverse range of friction stays in the World. Whatever the application or specification your customer enquires about, the solution can be found within the Cotswold range.
