Window Ware shortlisted for National Fenestration Award

Window Ware has been named a finalist in the Hardware Company of the Year category at the 2026 National Fenestration Awards (NFAs).

The nomination reportedly comes at a time of significant focus for the Bedford-based distributor, which has spent the last six months expanding its hardware offering and strengthening its technical support through a newly bolstered team of specialists.

Unlike many industry accolades, the NFAs do not accept self-entries; finalists are determined solely by nominations from customers, suppliers, and peers within the glazing and joinery sectors.

That is what is said to make this industry-led shortlisting particularly meaningful for Window Ware, serving as a valued endorsement of the team’s effort to maintain service excellence despite a shifting market.

With a clear focus on next-day reliability and maintaining an impressive 98.89% average On Time In Full (OTIF) rate since December last year, the company has worked to ensure that hardware supply remains a constant for fabricators and installers navigating new material trends and evolving building regulations.

Sam Nuckey, Managing Director of Window Ware, believes the nomination reflects the team’s quietly consistent approach to service.

She said: “Being named a finalist is a welcome recognition of the hard work our team puts in behind the scenes.

“We don’t do what we do for the trophies, but when the industry takes the time to nominate us, it tells us we’re hitting the mark where it matters – supporting our customers’ day-to-day operations with the right products and reliable technical advice.

“The competition in this category is always strong, but regardless of the final result, this nomination reinforces our commitment to keep raising the bar for our customers.”

The winners of the NFAs are decided by an open industry vote, which is now live. Window Ware is encouraging its contacts across the trade to cast their votes before the 5pm deadline on Friday 18 September.

The winners will be announced at the official awards ceremony on 24th October. To view the full list of finalists and cast your vote, visit: https://www.fenestrationawards.co.uk/nfa26/
