Liniar Renews Membership with Secured by Design

Derbyshire-based window and door systems company, Liniar, a subsidiary of Quanex, has renewed its membership with Secured by Design (SBD), the official police security initiative.

Founded in 1974, the UK-manufactured Liniar brand has grown to become one of the UK's most innovative ranges of PVCu extrusions, with windows, doors and conservatory profiles supplied to fabricators, including a wide number of SBD members, to be made into finished products.

Liniar's aim is to be recognised as a leading force for quality and excellence in product development, fusing industry experience with innovation, sustainability and loyalty. To this end, the company has launched many UK-first products, including the first bespoke PVCu bi-fold door, the first double-rebated PVCu flush sash window system and the first Passive House certified PVCu casement window amongst others.

Paul Garforth, Technical Services Director at Liniar, said, “It’s important to us here at Liniar that our products are fully tested and meet all the industry standards for security and performance, especially when launching a new product. SBD is not only the recognised name in the industry but also trusted more widely across different sectors and the general public. It gives end users the confidence of knowing that their Liniar products have been subjected to rigorous testing when they see the SBD logo.”

Alfie Hosker, Secured by Design, commented, “Liniar offers a wide range of systems to a significant number of SBD door and window fabricators. The company has held membership with us spanning across three decades now and I look forward to a successful continued association.”
