Minster has launched its biggest ever product guide following a number of key changes in the market and strong customer demand.
Comprised of 316 pages, the fifth edition of the Guide offers over 9,000 product lines and includes a much wider roofing offer along with fire protection, acoustics, external facades, thermal insulation, dry lining, ceilings, flooring and for the first time ever, My Comfort building solutions from Saint-Gobain.
Working in collaboration with core suppliers, the guide has been developed to ensure customers have access to an extensive range of quality interior and exterior building solutions. Designed to give the best customer experience, the guide uses performance icons and supplier logos to provide an easy browsing process, while the inclusion of quick check lists in each section aims to help customer purchasing efficiency.
Roofing is a key area that has been significantly developed in the new guide, bringing more choice to the market with an expanded range of commercial and domestic flat roofing solutions including torch on felt, single ply, breather membranes, lead, insulation and accessories.
Minster says this has been incorporated to show its acknowledgement of the impact that expected growth in the industrial, office, retail and leisure sectors as well as adhering to higher energy performance requirements across new and existing buildings will have over the next few years.
Also featuring in the guide, My Comfort, a higher building specification developed by Saint-Gobain which aims to provide improved comfort factors for better health and well being, offers a concept that delivers against five comfort factors including thermal, audio, visual, indoor and economic.
The Greenworks training academy, developed by the Building Distribution network of Saint-Gobain, comprises multi-purpose training space and uses real-life settings to offer courses that are carried out by industry specialists and are in line with customer demand and changes to legislation, product and market requirements.
Lee Cowling, marketing manager at Minster, said: “We’re thrilled to offer this new product guide to our customers at such a key time within the market and because of the close relationships we hold with our suppliers, we have been able to make this the best it’s ever been.
“At Minster, we take pride in our technical expertise and product range, which we feel is truly reflected in this guide. Our customers can feel confident that they’re not only getting quality products but excellent service and expert knowledge from all our staff.”
