The Joinery Network opens new opportunities for members

The Joinery Network (TJN) put performance, compliance and business growth firmly on the agenda at its recent Members Day.

The day delivered a series of significant developments for its members, including an industry-first 17-year paint warranty, PAS 24-certified Accoya doors and a new compliance support package.

Hosted by Teknos UK and themed ‘Your Future Starts Now’, the event brought together TJN’s joinery manufacturer members and industry partners to look at the changing regulatory landscape and the opportunities ahead for timber windows and doors.

A major announcement was the introduction of a 17-year paint warranty for Lignum Accoya wood doors, developed in partnership with Teknos.

Members also saw the new Legacy Oak translucent finish with a warranty of up to 12 years, part of the Lignum Legacy Entrance Door Collection, which includes PAS 24:2022-certified Accoya single and double doors.

MD Andy Ball, and Technical Director, Owen Dare launched the new Lignum Compliance Suite, bringing together the technical documentation and support members need to meet changing legislation and EN 14351-1 requirements, potentially saving them thousands of pounds each year to comply with CE/UKCA marking legislation.

Kevin Jones from the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) opened the day with a comprehensive update on the Future Homes Standard, Document Q and changes to U-value calculations.

Andy said: “With the Future Homes Standards 2027 for new-build properties fast approaching and increased OPSS enforcement already being seen in the glazing and joinery industries, it’s important that we give our members the support they need to stay compliant and competitive.

“We also announced a raft of valuable opportunities for Joinery Network members. There is a positive resurgence in wooden windows and doors despite the challenging market.

“The certainty of supply for Lignum glazing products is attracting installers looking for local reliable partners, and we’re seeing a growing number of specifications for Lignum products from architects.

“Through our partnerships, we are continuing to develop products that lead on performance and give our members more opportunities to grow.

“The 17-year warranty, PAS 24-certified Accoya doors and new Lignum Compliance Suite are all part of that commitment. We have more developments to come, putting our members in a strong position for 2027 and beyond.”
