Fairco customer hails excellent after-sales service

Received 23 February 2017 at 13:11 

“I rang the service department yesterday because we had problem with a bracket on a gutter.

“Colm [from Fairco] arranged for a serviceman to call today and we were told he would call at 10am.

“Imagine my shock when the repair man arrived at 10!

“We are always left waiting hours when we have arranged a time with other companies to call to our house, so a sincere thank you for excellent service.

Storm Doris was still going this morning, so the man did an excellent job in awful weather.

“I’m sorry I didn’t get his name, but thank him for being so prompt, cheerful and proficient this morning.

“I will recommend Fairco to anyone thinking about windows and doors.”

Thanks again, Mary Dunne

VIDEO: Burglars fail to break through high-impact security glass

Burglars fail to break through high-impact security glass

Video footage of an attempted burglary in Florida shows just how impenetrable Fairco’s high-impact security glass can be.

And when installed in domestic windows and doors, this glass will make your home just as burglar-proof.

The CCTV footage shows two burglars attempt to smash in the front door of a gas station using hammers.

The burglars repeatedly batter the high-impact glass but fail to break through.

This same glass comes as standard in Fairco’s burglar-proof Lifestyle range of windows and doors, and is an affordable extra in our standard range.

In most standard windows and doors, the glass collapses like a vandalised bus shelter when broken and the burglar literally walks in through your back doors.

Fairco’s high-impact security glass is more akin to the windscreen of a car – it will just crack and split but will prevent a burglar from reaching his hand inside to open the handle.

Fairco have served over 15,000 customers in the greater Dublin region and have pioneered enhanced-security windows and doors in Ireland.

Fairco’s windows and doors carry an accreditation called Secure By Design, which is preferred by police forces Europe-wide.

Our windows also come with the PAS 011 and PAS 023 and PAS 024 standards which certify enhanced resistance to intrusion – and have never been penetrated in a domestic situation.

“Our windows and doors have never been broken into, and we don’t expect that they will,” said Fairco owner Jim Toal.

“We addressed a neighbourhood watch group in Terenure Garda Station and advised them that the opportunist burglar sees an opening and spends between 90 seconds and four minutes trying to gain entry into a home.

“If he gains purchase he will stay on longer. If he doesn’t, he will move to the next victim because he is concerned that he will be noticed.”

Fairco customer delighted with call-out repair service

 

Fairco customer Lynda Butcher called our head office on Thursday, January 19th to request an emergency repair to the lock on her front door.

Lynda made it clear that she was under pressure and needed her door repaired as soon as possible.

Two hours after making her call, our engineer Gareth had called to her home, assessed the damage and made a swift repair, securing Lynda’s home once more.

 

The Fairco story

Fairco Windows and Doors supply and install replacement windows and doors with enhanced resistance to intrusion to the residential and self-build sector.

Fairco manufacturers our own range of enhanced-security windows which are so tough, a human being cannot generate enough force to break through, and any traditional methods used by burglars have been closed off thanks to a series of enhanced high-security measures.

Fairco are offering to give householders €3,000 if an intruder even attempts to gain access to their home.

Fairco are the first Irish company to achieve the ‘police-preferred specification’ PAS 024 certification and their windows and doors have never been penetrated in a domestic situation.

Fairco have also advised the Gardai and neighbourhood watch schemes on how burglars operate, and how to beat them, and feel that a new breed of burglar have taken over from the traditional opportunist – one that is not deterred by alarms and cameras.

Founded by Dubliner Jim Toal in 1998, Fairco have grown from an initial two employees to a workforce of 32 at three locations in Dublin; Terenure, Kilbarrack and Ireland’s largest indoor showhouse on the Old Airport Road in Santry and have serviced over 15,000 customers in the Dublin area.

Ireland's first frameless windows bring a wall of light to homes

Ireland’s first frameless windows bring a wall of light to homes

 

Ireland’s first frameless windows and doors look set to bring a wall of light to Irish homes and revolutionise the residential market.

Lumi by Fairco is a complete range of customisable, matching frameless windows and bi–folding, patio and residential doors which were voted the industry’s new product of the year.

With their completely flat, uninterrupted profile, these radically-styled windows increase the amount of light flooding into homes.

With their completely flat, uninterrupted profile, Lumi windows increase light in your home.
With their completely flat, uninterrupted profile, Lumi windows increase light in your home.

Hidden under the ceramic colour lies the secret to Lumi’s strength – energy efficient triple glazing that has been structurally bonded to an internal core of high strength, glass-fibre reinforced profiles.

This intelligent piece of engineering is the first of its kind on the market, bringing all the design benefits of frameless glazing with all the strength, security and internal styling of more traditional windows and doors.

“The Lumi system is a radical new approach for residential windows and doors, which the judges at the G Awards in the UK recently described as a product that truly reinvents the window,” said Fairco Windows and Doors Managing Director Jim Toal.

“The product has already received widespread acclaim from homeowners and architects through several outings at events such as Grand Designs.

“The complete Lumi system means that anyone can have a combination of windows, doors and bifolds that are an exact match, not just a close approximation as in many other cases.

“Lumi has been specially developed for our weather conditions. Available in six different finishes, all colours are protected from the elements reducing the possibility of fading over time.

“Plus, having no external frames means that maintenance and cleaning are every bit as minimal as the styling.”

Lumi by Fairco has been designed to conserve energy and withstand even the most extremes of weather.

With a state of the art 50mm insulated triple glazed unit, an 80mm draught free double rebate system with a double gasket seal as standard, Lumi by Fairco windows are among the most energy efficient on the market.

The Lumi window brake lock system from Winkhaus allows the window to be locked into any opening position simply by using the window’s handle – adding an extra dimension to Fairco’s already high-end security fittings as standard.
