Presenting Director of Sales – Ontario

January 11, 2021January 12, 2021 by NeuFenster, posted in Uncategorized

WELCOME TO THE TEAM!

NeüFenster is ecstatic to be building such an incredible team across Canada. Let us welcome Kate Lindsay, our newest addition to the team, who is tackling the position of Director of Sales in the Ontario region.

Kate will be helping grow the Internorm brand in Canada and the USA, by increasing sales with new and existing customers.

She aims to help architects and developers realize projects to their fullest potential, by properly informing them of the various benefits quality European windows have to offer.

A very insightful, logical and amiable individual, Kate is eager to take on the North American market, where she can share her expertise and knowledge regarding the most efficient products to suit her clients’ needs.

Life in the uk

Kate joins us from North-West England, where she worked for a premium building materials organization as Business Development Manager and later as Sales Director UK & Ireland.

There, Kate successfully developed the existing independent partner from a small local business to what is now a national network operating throughout the UK and Ireland.

She managed to increase sales for the brand and, in turn, further increase and solidify brand awareness.

In 2010, Kate introduced the Internorm premium product line into the range that was offered from their showroom. She has much experience with the Internorm brand and it’s products, which will allow her to further assist her NeüFenster clients.

Kate's journey

Kate was exposed at an early age to building materials, as she was only 4 years old when her parents established their own premium window firm. Already showing signs of interest, Kate worked with her parents on weekends and school holidays for some pocket money. She then attended university, successfully completing her BSc (Hons) in Retailing from UMIST Manchester in 2003.

After university, Kate began a career in advertising but realized she wanted to continue pursuing a career in the industry she grew up in, and eventually went back to the world of building materials in 2009. It’s no surprise Kate is ready to take on the next challenge here in North America; she was born for it!

DID YOU KNOW?

Kate is very excited to challenge herself at NeüFenster, but she is also extremely keen on exploring her new country. A wine enthusiast, she enjoys studying the WSET wine curriculum and appreciating local wineries.

Kate is currently learning Swedish and enjoys traveling to Sweden regularly as her fiancé, Magnus, is from Swedish Lappland. Although he may be more used to the Canadian climate than Kate, we think she will settle into her new country wonderfully.

WARM WISHES

Wishing Kate an exciting, driving and stimulating experience with her new team at NeüFenster. We also hope for a smooth transition for Kate and her fiancé Magnus, as they commence their lives in Toronto, Canada.

Help us welcome Kate, by leaving a friendly like and comment below like a true Canadian! Eh?

If you wish to book a consultation with Kate, she is currently offering virtual meetings during Covid 19 restrictions and will later be taking showroom appointments at our Toronto location.

Welcome to the team, Kate!

A keen passion for design and construction began at a young age, as Sylvain started studying carpentry at the Gaudier Breszka at only 15 years old. At the end of his studies, Sylvain continued on his journey in carpentry where he joined companies as a foreman, then as a production manager, and later as a supervisor. He mainly worked in exterior carpentry.

A very charismatic individual, Sylvain was always a natural communicator, and with the influence of several manufacturers, he started his career as a Sales Representative in 2011.

Eliminate Winter Window Condensation For Good

December 8, 2020 by NeuFenster, posted in Blogposts-Informative

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Unless you have to deal with condensation on your windows of course…

Not being able to properly see outside, a poorly insulated home with wasted heat energy, and worse, possible mold and mildew in the drywall and furniture, are all linked to condensation.

Important Factors to Consider

In simple terms, condensation is when humidity in the air and a cold surface come into contact, turning gas into liquid, i.e. the water we can see forming on the windows.

Products currently available in the North American market suffer the most, even including Energy Star approved windows, where condensation continues to be an issue. The separation between the indoors and outdoors is greatly compromised, and the indoor panels are almost as cold as the outdoor panels, leading to severe condensation.

High performing windows like Internorm, allow the cold air to stay on the outdoor panel and the indoor panels to stay warm, therefore limiting any condensation.

An isothermal graph illustrates the effects of proper thermal insulation, and therefore high performance windows.

Oh Canada

Canada is notorious for cold winters, and with reason. So why does one of the coldest countries continue to install low quality windows, with poor capabilities of keeping us comfortable and safe in our homes during the harsh winters?

Many people think that making the air inside the home dryer can solve this problem. What they lack to acknowledge is how important more humid air is to our health, and how uncomfortable dry air can be, affecting our daily life.

According to Healthline, the following are ways in which dry air can negatively affect one’s health:

Asthma and bronchitis
Sore throat
Dry skin and dermatitis
Eye Irritation

Nose bleeds
Higher stress levels
Dehydration
Risk of infection

So, can you get the best of both worlds?

The answer is YES you can!

It is in fact possible to have both an ideal amount of humidity in the air whilst completely eliminating condensation and the risks associated with it. The solution? Install high-performance triple pane windows.

Automatically eliminating any condensation that we normally associate to this time of year, you are even able to sit right next to your window comfortably without feeling any cold coming through.

Not only are you more comfortable in a home with triple pane windows, but you are actually saving money.

Triple pane windows allow for the warm air inside your home to stay warm with a fraction of the energy that would normally be necessary when double pane windows are installed. Proper insulation keeps heat in and allows you to take advantage of the energy already being used.

That means that the cost of maintaining your warm home is significantly reduced, and you are even contributing to a better tomorrow, since Co2 emissions are not being exhausted in order to provide your home with the energy it needs.

Our Contribution to The Environment

NeüFenster remains extremely proud to offer clients such high-quality premium products, while having a real positive impact on the environment. We believe it is our duty as human beings to make educated purchasing decisions, where we can contribute in building a better tomorrow.

With the ability to save energy, protect the environment, and use long lasting materials (thus decreasing waste in landfills), we can confidently say that the desperate need for environmental protection and sustainable development is met with all of our products.
