Brustor: 'Continuing to build on the new 2023 products'

Brustor will also be at the Polyclose trade fair again in 2024. The awning manufacturer looks back with pleasure on a successful 2022 edition where the new products B700, B720 and B800 were successfully launched. "The many sun protection specialists who came to visit the stand were enthusiastic about the new solutions, and we noticed this even after the launch when the products hit the market," says sales manager Maxim Devos. 

Brustor is therefore greatly looking forward to Polyclose 2024. "We are again aiming for a lot of atmosphere and will present some new configurations of the B128XL and the B800, two products we launched in late 2022, early 2023." 

Paired B128XL gives more options to the hospitality industry

The B128XL will also be able to be paired starting in 2024. Until now, this is not yet possible. "We find that the B128XL can also be a very good solution for the hospitality sector," Devos said. "Hospitality entrepreneurs are often looking for patio covers that can cover large areas. Connecting multiple modules of the B128XL will make this possible. This gives hospitality operators the choice of covering their terrace with a retractable fabric roof while enjoying the many personalization options also available for slat roofs. Just think of integrated Brustor ZIP screens, door posts, different RAL colors, LED lighting in the frame, patio heating and so on." 

Freestanding B800 glass roof

The B800 glass roof also gets an additional configuration option, Devos says. "Until now, our new cubic glass roof was only available semi-detached, as an add-on model. So it had to be able to be placed against a facade. From 2024, however, we will also launch a freestanding variant of the B800. This will allow end customers to place the cubic glass roof wherever they want, creating an additional garden room for entertaining. The integrated Brustor ZIP screens remain available even with the stand-alone module, allowing for complete closure. So ideal for garden fun all year round!"

'Continuing to grow with our dealer network'

"With these two innovations, we want to give our dealers even more options to provide answers to end customers' questions. We have an extensive range of sun protection and outdoor living solutions at Brustor and remain committed to innovating and rationalizing this range." 

"Trade shows like Polyclose are therefore very important to us. They allow us to present our products to our dealers in full size and gauge their reactions. Moreover, as a manufacturer we get the chance to talk to many dealers in a short time and hear what they want from us. Valuable information that we take into account in our innovation process. In this way we can continue to grow together with our dealer network," concludes Devos.
