Valentine’s Squeeze

Feb 12, 2021 | Applicator Guns, Hand Tools, Xpert Tools

Now that’s what we call ‘sealed with love’ this Valentine’s Day!

In all seriousness though, achieving this kind of precise, mess-free application of caulk, sealant or adhesives is easy with our Xpert heavy-duty dripless mastic gun, whatever shape, size or sort of construction project you’re working on.

And while in reality most trade professionals probably won’t ever need to apply silicone in a heart-shaped, they’ll still want a mastic gun that gives them full control of the product even round awkward edges with drip-free application to create a neat, professional finish with minimum waste.

Call sales on 01234 242740 or email sales@xperttools.co.uk to enquire about stocking the Xpert dripless mastic gun.

Window Ware and Xpert celebrates 10-years at the top of tools

Xpert surpasses 10 year milestone

Xpert, the specialist tool arm of hardware distributor Window Ware is celebrating 10 years of successfully helping tradespeople work faster, smarter and safer.

Launched in 2010, Xpert was the brainchild of a group of likeminded, professional fitters, frustrated by the lack of specialist tools and equipment for the fenestration industry. Using their wealth of experience, the group banded together to design and build a bespoke range of tools and essentials.

The result was a range that finally gave tradespeople tried-and-tested tools that were truly fit for purpose. Whether it’s the moon knife, uPVC saw or gasket shears, fitters no longer needed to make do with general purpose tools – a development which made Xpert an instant hit with the trade.

Xpert’s success brought the brand to the attention of Window Ware, the award-winning hardware supplier, who in 2016 added the range into their product portfolio. Since then, Xpert has expanded beyond air tools and hand tools to include machinery spares, materials and accessories. The aim is to help fabricators minimise unnecessary downtime whilst continuing to help installers deliver the best quality in less time.

“It’s incredible to see Xpert grow from an idea among friends to this trailblazing tool brand, trusted by fabricators, installers and over 300 stockists nationwide,” comments Karl Williamson, Business Development Manager at Window Ware. “This milestone is only possible through maintaining our original ethos of offering tradespeople a proven range of products which makes their job easier and safer.

 

“The support of Window Ware has helped extend that commitment, adding relevant products which benefit both the fitter and the fabricator, and supporting the range with unrivalled technical support and service excellence. I’m proud of the role I played in developing Xpert and I’m delighted to still be championing the brand 10-years later as part of the Window Ware family.”

 

Sam Nuckey, Managing Director of Window Ware adds: “We are absolutely delighted to be celebrating Xpert’s 10th anniversary. When the opportunity arose to bring Xpert under the Window Ware umbrella, it was really a no-brainer. From day one, Xpert has answered a clear gap in the market with quality tools, equipment and consumables.

 

“It’s brought a whole new range of products to our offering, meaning customers can get everything from specialist tools to Teflon to machine spares and cleaners from the same place as their window and door hardware. Best of all, they can take advantage of our next-day delivery service and broad technical knowledge in the process.”

A stand-out 2019

Widening our Xpert reach throughout 2019

While 2018 was all about growing our product range (hence the addition of 27 must-have new SKUs), the team at Xpert had a somewhat different focus for this year. Over the last 12 months, we’ve concentrated our efforts on extending Xpert’s reach and increasing overall brand presence.

As a result, our fabrication essentials such as Xpert’s high-performance Teflon, durable drill bits and rapid-cutting plastic saws have been winning over trade professionals across the country. Today, more window and door manufacturers than ever regularly rely on Xpert machinery spares and consumables to streamline their manufacturing processes.

Alongside an ever-growing user base, the number of Xpert stockists has grown too as more and more Trade Counters have chosen to strengthen their product offering with the renowned Xpert tools range. Today, Xpert products can be found in hundreds of retail sites across the country.

We’ve also put plenty of marketing support in place to give each and every stockist the means to properly promote their Xpert range and boost sales. So, as well as glossy, professional-looking brochures, fliers and posters, plus Xpert branded merchandise, resellers can also make use of our eye-catching Xpert display stands. These sturdy-yet-light floor stands were launched back in January and have proven extremely popular with new and existing stockists alike. They’re a great focal point for any shop floor and there’s no better way to show off best-selling Xpert tool staples like our gasket shears, chisel knife, glass gauge, moon knife and 3 suction cup glass lifter. If you’re a stockist and you’d like an Xpert stand for your retail space, please talk to our sales team on 01234 242740.

Expanding our range in 2020

Next year, we’re hoping to welcome additional complementary products under the Xpert umbrella, including installation staples like quality silicones and sealants, plus some more general-purpose tools and equipment to help trade professionals turn out great results time and time again. We hope you’ll stick with us and see what Xpert has in store for 2020. In the meantime, we want to say a massive thank you for your valued custom this year.

Happy Holidays to you all and best wishes for the New Year!

Toolbox essentials that really measure up!

Aug 15, 2018 | Glazing Tools & Measuring, Hand Tools, Xpert Tools

For tradesmen who need to regularly measure long lengths or awkward spaces single-handed, there’s nothing more frustrating than a flimsy tape measure that won’t stay put or crumples at the slightest touch. That’s why these sturdy new heavy-duty tape measures from Xpert are built with strength and usability in mind.

Available in 5m or 8m lengths (that’s 16 or 26 feet in old money), with metric and imperial units displayed on both sides and a double-sided hook, the durable nylon-coated blade delivers ever-ready, easy-read measuring dexterity at any angle. For quick stops or continuous hold of the rule when measuring, the dual blade break offers ultimate, intuitive control. The rubberised case easily handles general wear and tear, as well as helping to improve grip and increase comfort during use. And when all the dimensions have been taken, the handy belt clip on the back of the tape measure provides convenient, quick-draw storage.

Xpert tape measures are distributed exclusively by leading hardware provider, Window Ware, and available to buy from trade counters and retailers across the country. Click here to find your nearest stockist or email sales@xperttools.co.uk if you’re interested in selling them.
