What Sash Window Manufacturers Say

SAM Trimax is the only solution. Better value in the long term FACT.

-Kells Traditional Timber Windows & Floors

We were provided with a good design and fitting instructions service. The site operatives were pleased with the ease of fitting.

– Paul McLaughlin, Lagan Group

We now use SAM Trimax Tricoya for all our traditional sash window box frames. it is a superb product, offering the same 50-year warranty as Accoya, which gives both us and our customers complete confidence in its long-term performance. A major benefit for us is that SAM manufacture the Tricoya sections specifically to our own sizes, including the grooves already machined in. This eliminates a considerable amount of planning and machining in our workshop, saving production time and allowing us to manufacture more windows efficiently. For us, it combines an excellent long-life product with real improvements in manufacturing efficiency.

– Paul Kitching, Sash Window Specialists

We use SAM Trimax for the parting bead and baton slip throughout the manufacture of our timber sash windows. The quality and consistency of the product is important to us, particularly when every window we product is made to order. SAM Trimax has become a reliable part of our sash window manufacturing process and is a product we’re very happy to continue using.
