CORNELS®: 'The SPICA CORNELS® GLASS is the ideal shelter for terraces'

A much sought-after product for the catering terrace and now also for applications in private gardens: the glass windbreak. CORNELS® is responding to this market demand with the introduction of an attractive retractable glass windbreak. "Since the introduction to the dealer network in the Benelux, the interest has been so great that CORNELS® is even opening a new production location for SPICA CORNELS® GLASS in the Netherlands," says Cornelis Nieuwenhuis, director-owner of CORNELS®. 

"Our retractable glass windbreak SPICA CORNELS® GLASS is the most attractive model on the market," says Nieuwenhuis. "The windshield is easily adjustable in height by hand from 110 to 185 cm high. Electricity is not required for this, because the system works with a gas spring It can therefore be used anywhere." 

Although CORNELS® is known for its custom-made products, SPICA is partly an exception. In fact, the windbreak is available in standard sizes 110, 130 and 150 cm wide, finished with a black or anthracite aluminum frame (with or without a planter). "This standard version is in high demand and is therefore quickly available from stock. Of course, customization is always possible: any RAL color and other dimensions can be supplied on request." 

"The minimalist design fits any location," continues Nieuwenhuis. "Because almost the entire windbreak is made of glass, it offers the user an almost panoramic view of the surroundings. That and the fact that it effectively repels the wind make it ideal for use on restaurant terraces and garden patios, for example on the waterfront and in the polder, where there is regularly a lot of wind." 

"The wind resistance of CORNELS® retractable glass screen is very good. If anchored, the wind screen can withstand wind speeds of up to 73.6 km/h when extended. At higher wind speeds, we recommend retracting the windbreak. The model with planter can also withstand a strong wind, provided the planter is properly filled and weighted down with gravel and soil." 

"On top of all the product advantages, the SPICA is the most attractively priced high-quality product on the market," Nieuwenhuis says enthusiastically. "That makes the product extra desirable to place in the showroom. Almost all CORNELS® dealers now have the SPICA on display. All the advantages of this latest CORNELS® product for the end user make it a great addition to the range. Moreover, the glass windbreak takes up little space and if the awning specialist chooses the model with planter, it can also be easily moved inside from showroom. Customers can then immediately try out how easy the SPICA works!" 

For the continued growth of the company, CORNELS® had been looking for an ideal location for some time. "The opportunity presented itself to open a production facility diagonally opposite our showroom and office in Nieuw-Vennep, near Schiphol Airport. This is obviously perfect," notes a proud director-owner. "Thanks to this new location - which we will open in mid-June - we are able to deliver SPICA CORNELS® GLASS even faster and from stock. The location also allows us to produce larger quantities in a short period of time. Partly because of this, our glass windbreak is already so attractively priced in advance!" 

CORNELS® has already become a household name in the blinds industry in the just two and a half years that the brand has been in existence. "That's because we offer everything you need to create a complete garden room," Nieuwenhuis believes. "Every CORNELS® product is custom-made. This allows our dealers to realize virtually any wish of their end customers, whatever size, color, composition and finish is desired. The possibilities we offer are unprecedented. In addition to folding roofs, we also have slat roofs, such as the AVIOR CORNELS® Elite series. The slats of this exclusive roof can tilt and slide. Its price is very attractive when compared to similar high-quality products in the market." 

"In addition to our unique custom products, we offer dealers an attractive dealer package," Nieuwenhuis continued. "Our dealers receive a great deal of support, from construction technical advice and drawing work - such as providing 2D drawings and 3D visuals - to online and offline marketing. In addition, they can use our dealer showroom to inform their customers optimally about CORNELS® products."

"Although our products are developed from the point of view of ease of assembly, we also offer assistance with assembly where necessary. And of course we work with a portal where the dealer can easily consult all information about our products, orders, delivery times and so on."
