Project support from expert in window and door technology

The world of facade technology has a special dynamic. Naturally, there are high demands in terms of safety, energy and design. But facade builders also have to deal with the need for process optimization. This requires a partner who thinks along with them. 

Junction of disciplines

As an expert in window and door technology, VBH develops and supplies solutions for aluminum, plastic and steel profile systems. In addition to quality products and smart concepts, project support from start to finish is an enormous added value in the overall process. 

Wouter Stevens, Consultant Automatic Door Systems at VBH: "Door automation is a tricky subject for many customers. Taking sliding door systems as an example: such a door is a junction of different disciplines. The contractor is concerned with the construction of the place where the sliding door will be placed, in the field of electronics the expertise lies with an installer and the client looks at the user requirements. And then we also have to deal with legal standards and requirements that the door must meet."

Norbert Theunissen, Consultant Electrical & Access Technology at VBH: "We sit down with all the disciplines involved at the earliest possible stage. Here it is extremely important to consider the ultimate function of the door even before the design phase. You then combine this with the wishes of the end user and the project requirements in terms of safety. By working this way, technical challenges are recognized early on, the right solutions can be devised, the façade builder is supported and the client and end user receive a perfectly working end product."

VBH has a comprehensive range of locks for those specific needs and requirements as well. "That combination in particular makes us fairly unique in the market. VBH offers its customers a one-stop solution."

Guidance from A-Z

"Our wide range of products from leading brands combined with our private label products systeQ and HvN, is complemented by our years of experience and smart engineering. That makes us the total supplier for the facade builder," says Theunissen. 

"Our consultants sit down with the estimator, work planner and engineer from day one and also communicate with the installer." Stevens: "By providing multidisciplinary direction and ensuring clear communication among ourselves, we arrive at the best solution together. We offer expert advice on product selection and we supervise the entire process from site inspections to completion. We regularly visit the construction site to carefully coordinate the entire process with all disciplines, from office to shed. In this way, we take work off our customers' hands and reduce failure costs throughout the construction cycle."

Total Solution

There is of course a lot involved in the electronic and technical part of swing and sliding doors, but also in the field of laws and regulations. "Once you have a clear picture of the requirements in terms of legislation and regulations, the wishes of the client and end user of the building and the function of the door, we provide the right product advice. The ability to think along with the technology and the implementation of the whole is crucial to achieving a good end result. And that is precisely where our strength lies," Stevens says.

"VBH thinks, draws, engineers, relieves, keeps the overview and monitors quality. We speak the same language, always think in sustainable solutions and make the translation from drawing to practice. The guidance, direction and assembly preparation in the process, with the goal of achieving an optimal end result for customer and end users, definitely pay off."
