Dekko maintains four-week lead time on Residence Collection despite supply chain disruption

Despite the ongoing challenges facing the window industry supply chain, leading trade fabricator Dekko Windows have maintained a four-week lead time on their Residence Collection range, helping their trade customers maximise the favourable market conditions.

According to sales director Kurt Greatrex, a combination of investment in key areas, strong partnerships with key suppliers and general hard graft has enabled Dekko to keep lead times to a minimum.

“It’s a very interesting time for the glazing industry currently,” Kurt comments. “On one hand we’re seeing demand on a par with the double-glazing boom in the 80s – which is fantastic considering the industry is viewed by some as a ‘saturated’ market – but on the other hand there’s huge pressure on the supply chain and a lack of skilled labour, making it difficult for some companies to take advantage.

“At Dekko we can’t solve the labour shortage unfortunately, but we are working round the clock to keep our lead times to pre-Covid levels, and we’re pleased to still be supplying our popular Residence Collection range in just four weeks.”

Kurt continues: “We’re not immune to supply chain issues of course – like all fabricators, we have had some difficulties – but we have made several adjustments to keep any disruption to a minimum. For instance, we’ve increased our stockholding, invested in people and machinery, put additional factory shifts in place and worked closely with key suppliers to ensure we get the materials we need. There’s been a few bumps in the road of course, but overall its very much ‘business as usual’ here at Dekko.”

Dekko are the UK’s largest fabricator of Residence Collection windows and doors. The company employs a Residence Collection customer service team to ensure quotes are returned quickly and customer queries are answered promptly, as well as a dedicated manufacturing department.

The Residence Collection range includes three high performance flush sash windows – Residence 9, Residence 7 and Residence 2. Residence 9 and Residence 7 have been carefully designed to mimic a 19th Century timber window, making them ideal for older properties, while Residence 2 has a square, bold profile, making it ideal for contemporary homes.
