As promised, I have an update on Hurd’s Chapter 11 filing. In last week’s post, I stated that I was seeking assurances from Hurd regarding their ability to continue to build and deliver quality products, stand behind their warranties, and invest in announced and exciting innovations. Hurd’s response can be found here 9-19-08-hurd-update-buildersarchitectshomeowners.
Based on Hurd’s commitments and assurances, SolarGlass will continue to sell and support Hurd products. Unless there is a turn of events that changes Hurd’s ability to keep the commitments it has made, we believe this decision is in the best interest of our customers. In our opinion, Hurd is at the head of the class in terms of aluminum clad windows that compete based on high quality for moderate price. We are thus proceeding with business as usual.
Throughout Hurd’s bankruptcy process, we will share what we know as soon as new information becomes available. Beyond the obvious truth that we owe you this based on your business and the trust you place in SolarGlass, transparency and forthrightness is a personal standard and guidepost.
