IG Elements has announced the launch of our new Installation App, designed to provide key information on-the-go for site agents and installer teams.

Content within the App is tailored to meet customer requirements with the inclusion of PDF installation guides, step-by-step installation videos and extensive product range information. Additionally, the IG Elements App is live and web-based, meaning there will never be a need for it to be updated or reinstalled.

Liam Kelly, IG Elements Managing Director commented: “In the past few years we have enjoyed significant growth in traffic to our website with a notable percentage of traffic from mobile and tablet devices. With the nature of our customer base, we recognised the difficulty in accessing a desktop computer while working with our products. With our rebrand and subsequent launch of our new website, we felt it was a natural step to develop an App that provides improved access to installation information for our customers.”

The app is available for download from our website via mobile or tablet at igelements.com

IG GRP is delighted to announce that our GRP Dormers have been shortlisted in the ‘Best Site Product’ category at the Housebuilder Product Awards 2015.

IG GRP Dormers help transform usable space in the roof of a building, potentially adding valuable floor space in a development. The IG GRP Dormer is a fully-moulded one piece unit, which arrives onsite ready for installation, reducing the demand for skilled labour onsite.

Our in-house experts use the latest thermal analysis software to calculate Psi values and advise house builders on the optimum insulation solution for compliance with the required building regulations. IG GRP uses advanced thermal imaging programmes to evaluate products, improving thermal efficiency and increasing overall performance.

Liam Kelly, IG GRP Managing Director, commented on the achievement:

“IG GRP is committed to developing products that exceed current regulations. Our research and development team work in response to challenges facing the house builder. Our thermal roof dormers have thus evolved to offer industry-leading thermal performance and an improved installation process, so we are naturally thrilled to have been recognised for this commitment within the industry”.

The Housebuilder Product Awards will take place on 25th June at Edgbaston Stadium. Winners will be announced live at the gala lunch and we wish all the finalists the best of luck on the day.
