Regal Makes a Stylish Statement at FIT Show 2025

Window Ware’s premium heritage hardware range, Regal Hardware, shone brightly at this year's FIT Show, taking pride of place within the displays of several key partners and customers, most notably The Residence Collection.

Window Ware’s Product Manager, Rob Vaughan, and Commercial Director, Richard Bryant, joined the Residence team to engage with visitors and providing expert insights into the Regal Hardware range.

Richard Bryant commented, “It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces. The Fit Show remains a crucial platform for the industry to come together, catch up, and collaborate.”

Reflecting on the three days, Rob Vaughan noted the resounding positive response to Regal Hardware. "It's always good to talk to people who are using our products," he said. "The consistent feedback was that they really like the design and appreciate the quality, with many commending the reliable performance they've experienced and have now come to expect from Regal Hardware.”

Regal’s latest addition, the Knurled range, garnered particular enthusiasm from visitors and was prominently featured on The Residence Collection’s stand. Notably, one set of double doors showcasing the knurled handles proved to be a big draw, with many pausing to operate them and admire their stunning aesthetic and tactile quality.

“People were really impressed,” explained Rob, “You could tell from what they were saying. We heard comments like: ‘They look great,’ ‘Yeah, we could definitely use those handles,’ and ‘We need some of these in our showroom!’”

FIT Show 2025 underscored the growing trend towards elevated uPVC systems that use modern welding technics or mechanical joints, flush sash designs, more realistic woodgrain foils and heritage-inspired hardware to perfectly emulate the look and feel of authentic timber windows. Significantly, on The Residence Collection stand, some visitors were surprised to discover that the elegant heritage doors on display were indeed crafted from PVC not timber, highlighting the success of this design approach. In fact, heritage-style doors were a prominent theme throughout the show, featuring a diverse range of handle styles on display, with the Knurled design proving particularly popular.

The strong resonance of Regal Hardware at FIT Show, perfectly aligning with current heritage trends, comes at an exciting time for Window Ware, as their Regal Hardware pear drop and monkey tail handles have just been nominated for Window Component of the Year at the 2025 National Fenestration Awards, further testament to the range's exceptional design and quality.

Regal Hardware’s success at FIT Show, coupled with the prestigious award nomination, underscores its position as a leading choice for heritage-inspired fenestration and promises an exciting future for the range. Window Ware looks forward to continuing to provide exceptional hardware solutions that resonate with the evolving needs of the industry.
