In November 2016, leading MDF profiles manufacturer The W.Howard Group purchased Balcas Kildare adding significant capacity and the innovative KOTA brand to its wide product range.
This unique MDF product brings an exciting new fully finished architectural profile option into the builders’ merchant market, providing a new solution for skirting, architraves, door stops and linings.
W. Howard Group managing director, Graham Williams who looks after the Group's operations in both the UK and Ireland said: "The KOTA product is unique in that it saves both time and money on a project - each profile is factory finished and requires a simple, installation of fix, fill and finish.
"Both the UK and Irish markets have responded well to this addition to our expanding range and we look forward to developing the offering and continuing to provide more and more choice for the market."
Unique to KOTA is the application of advanced Eastman Cerfis™ Technology to create interior profiles with a smooth, silky, ready-painted finish. The coating technology allows KOTA™ products to be as tough as they are elegant.
With KOTA™ the installer improves procedural efficiencies significantly, reducing time and cost with a perfect finish every time.
There is no need to paint KOTA; once the skirting and architrave is on – that's it, the job is done!
The durable and colour consistent range comprises of factory finished profiles, door linings and stops, available within just five days from order with bespoke items quoted individually upon application.
The addition of KOTA to the W.Howard Group's existing range of 198 core items provides the builders’ merchant market with a significantly enhanced impact resistance profile that traditional fully finished products cannot offer.
