As the sector looks ahead to another year shaped by demand for premium performance, faster lead times and reliable supply, Made for Trade is outlining how it can help trade partners “build a better business” in 2026.
Aiming to stand out as “the partner of choice” for fabricators, trade installers, builders and merchants across the UK, Made for Trade (MFT) says that its reputation is built on “engineering excellence, competitive pricing and an unwavering commitment to service.” Furthermore, 2026 marks a “pivotal time for the business” as it fully launches not one, but two, flagship Korniche products it states are “set to redefine the market.”
Alongside these major product introductions, MFT continues to streamline its ordering process through the advanced KwikQuote platform, designed to simplify quote and ordering processes and provide trade partners with the speed and confidence they need to win more jobs, more often.
In terms of the product launches, the business has announced the new Korniche Roof Lantern. The existing, multi-award-winning product “has long been recognised as one of the most installer-friendly, rigorously engineered and aesthetically refined roof systems on the market.” For 2026, MFT says the new “slimmer, stronger” upgrade has pushed these standards even further:
Ultra-slim sightlines for maximum natural light and contemporary aesthetics.
Pass24 security – as standard.
Enhanced structural strength, engineered for superior load distribution and performance.
Fast-fit installation, designed to optimise time on-site with precision.
Thermally efficient glazing and profiles, supporting compliance and energy performance.
Integrated LED, delivering an unrivalled addition for ambient lighting.
A premium finish, with an immaculate powder-coated finish, precision manufacturing and a clean, seamless internal ‘V’ shaped rafter aesthetics.
According to the company, the new evolution of the Korniche Roof Lantern “reinforces why so many trade professionals trust MFT for reliability and repeatability on every job,” for domestic extensions, kitchen renovations or high-value bespoke builds.
Transforming spaces with elegance and a slim heritage style, the Korniche Internal Glass Partition System, meanwhile, has been developed to address the growing trend for open-plan redesign and internal zoning which in turn has fuelled demand for high-quality internal glazing systems. Bringing Korniche engineering into the home interior market, the Internal Glass Partition System offers the following benefits:
Slim aluminium profiles for modern, architectural styling.
Customisable configurations, including single doors, double doors and multi-panel partitions.
Precision-engineered components for smooth operation and long-term durability.
High-specification glass delivering acoustic performance and clarity.
Bespoke Hardware, Classic and contemporary styles with matching escutcheons, thumb turns and hinge caps.
Ideal for renovations, home offices, open plan living and commercial fitouts.
MFT says that this new product line “positions trade installers perfectly for the continued surge in internal refurbishment projects throughout 2026 and beyond,” adding that they will “no longer need to pay a premium price for this premium product.”
KwikQuote: Ordering Made Simple
In addition, MFT contends that its KwikQuote platform “remains one of the most intuitive tools in the industry, allowing trade partners to quote, configure and order Korniche products with total accuracy and in a fraction of the time.” For 2026, new businesses opening a KwikQuote account before 31st January 2026 will receive £200 credit (applied automatically) and 20% off their second single-item purchase (terms and conditions apply).
Summing up these latest developments, Operations Director Chris Wann said: “Made for Trade enters 2026 with a sharper focus than ever. Our mission has always been to combine engineering precision with service that genuinely supports the trade. With the launch of the new Korniche Roof Lantern and our Internal Glass Partition system, we are delivering solutions that empower installers to work more efficiently, win more projects and deliver premium results for homeowners.
“Our continued investment in KwikQuote and customer experience ensures our partners are equipped with the tools they need to grow their businesses throughout the year ahead.”
