Made for Trade (MFT), the trusted name behind the award-winning Korniche brand, has delivered on its promise to “See it First at FIT”. Over the course of three packed days, the MFT stand became a magnet for installers, fabricators, specifiers and industry professionals alike, leaving visitors impressed, inspired and eager to learn more.
The All-New Korniche Roof Lantern - The headline act of the show was undoubtedly the launch of the all-new Korniche Roof Lantern, a complete redesign of MFT’s flagship product that once revolutionised the lantern roof market. Staying true to its ethos of delivering installer-friendly solutions, the latest evolution of the Korniche Roof Lantern has once again redefined expectations.
Through a combination of clever engineering and meticulous design, the new Lantern boasts an even quicker installation time, enhanced thermal performance with industry-leading U-values, which, when released, will mark impressively competitive price points. Visitors watched first-hand demonstrations that showcased how MFT has distilled years of expertise and customer feedback into an offering that genuinely sets a new benchmark in the market.
With a slimline aesthetic and structural refinement, the updated Lantern meets the modern demand for minimal sightlines without compromising strength or ease of fitting. The result is a product that is not only installer-friendly but also commercially astute, offering real value for both trade professionals and homeowners.
Introducing the SIPS Upstand, Designed to Complement FLAT Lite - FIT Show 2025 also marked the launch of the new SIPS Upstand, a carefully developed solution designed to perfectly complement the Korniche FLAT Lite bonded rooflight.
The SIPS Upstand is engineered to streamline the installation process while enhancing performance. This factory-assembled upstand ensures a precise fit and consistent quality, eliminating on-site guesswork and reducing installation times even further. When paired with the FLAT Lite bonded glass rooflight, the all-new roof lantern or Flat Glass, installers benefit from a seamless, aesthetically superior solution that delivers exceptional thermal efficiency.
Korniche Internal Glass Partition System – Another exciting debut was the Korniche Internal Glass Partition system, which received its exclusive first unveiling at the Show. Scheduled for commercial release later this year, the partition system expands the Korniche product family into the interiors market, offering installers and designers a stylish, high-quality solution for open-plan living and office spaces.
The Korniche Internal Glass Partition system is designed with the same principles that made the Korniche Roof Lantern a market leader: precision engineering, ease of installation, incorporating the Korniche SpeedBead and a sleek, modern aesthetic. Visitors were treated to an early look at how the system effortlessly combines functionality and style, with options for various configurations and finishes that suit both residential and light commercial applications.
High-Profile Support from Industry Ambassadors - adding further impact to the exhibition was the presence of brand ambassador Mark Millar, a familiar and trusted face in the trade sector. Mark’s hands-on involvement in live product demonstrations brought authenticity and expert insight, reinforcing MFT’s installer-first approach.
FIT Show ambassador Robin Clevett also joined the MFT team, lending his own respected voice to the showcase of the all-new Korniche Roof Lantern. Both ambassadors captivated audiences with their genuine enthusiasm for the product advancements, helping to communicate the tangible benefits of MFT’s latest innovations with a high-impact live demonstration of the Lantern build and installation.
Delivering Impact – Driving Forward - “Our presence at FIT Show 2025 was all about listening to our customers, responding with meaningful innovation, and showing the industry exactly how we make trade better,” said Ian Bousfield, Marketing Manager.
“With every product developed, MFT focus on delivering genuine installer benefits – faster, easier, better value solutions that don’t compromise on quality. The incredible response we’ve had from FIT Show visitors tells us we’ve hit the mark once again.”
