While it is true that windows and doors must be installed
correctly, prior to this is the fact that the product must be manufactured!
The Fabrication of windows and doors is another industry that is constantly
evolving and is far more diverse than perhaps initially thought. The vast range
of window types include sash, casement and tilt and turn, doors are also
available in far more than the traditional style; stable type doors, patio
doors and sliding/folding doors to name a few. All of these types and styles
have to be produced to comply with the requirements of environmental matters,
Building Regulations and security issues in various materials and profiles. The
demand for wider choice in shape, colour and finish has also added to the
complexity of the Fabrication process.
Of course efficient, accurate production
with minimal waste and delays in production are also key factors in Fabrication
Companies. The awareness of environmental matters including recycling is also
important, and as consumers demand longer guarantees of products correct
manufacture is essential.
There are GQA
qualifications at Level 2 and Level 3; the Level 3 is aimed at
those with greater responsibility for technical matters including problem
solving and improving the processes and monitoring quality
