Stellar Targets Exports With Freefoam's Fortex Triple Plank Cladding

A leading mobile home manufacturer based in Hull, Stellar Statics, has selected Freefoam's Fortex range of triple plank cladding to clad its static homes for the export market.

Freefoam, the market leader in environmentally friendly and UV protected roofline and rainwater products, manufactures the Fortex range of high quality PVC-UE systems.

The Fortex range includes cladding systems available in single, double and triple plank format. Each format has an attractive embossed woodgrain effect and comes in a range of standard and bespoke colours.

The double and triple plank products make installation even easier and quicker than normal.

In addition, the Fortex range requires little maintenance once installed which is a major benefit for the owners of mobile and standard residential homes.

David Goodfellow, Managing Director, Stellar Statics, commented: "Our decision to go with Freefoam's Fortex range of embossed triple plank cladding has worked out really well for us. The quality, quick installation and low maintenance features of the product were critical factors in our decision-making.

"In addition, Freefoam manufactured the product in custom designed sand and stone colours which was important for us in targeting specific export markets.

"Finally, the excellent customer service we received from Freefoam was also a significant contributing factor in our decision-making. We're confident we made the right decision and look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Freefoam," he said.
