Quickslide is launching a brand new ultra slim aluminium sliding patio door with pre-gasketed knock-in beads, giving its trade partners access to the sleekest, easiest to install most thermally efficient patio door on the market. Using Epwin’s Stellar aluminium profile system, this unique product, with its 35mm interlock as standard, responds to the market’s aesthetic hunger for less frame and more glass, while ensuring the installation process is quicker and easier on site.
A key feature of the patio door is that it’s delivered to site with the knock-in beads pre-gasketed in the factory. This both reduces time spent on site, making it more efficient to fit, but also reduces the margin for human error. Beading a frame is often the most time consuming and complex job for an installer and is one of the tasks most prone to on-site errors. By removing this part of the job from the fitter into an automated, predictable function in the factory, Quickslide trade partners can literally save hours of manpower as well as remove potential (costly) remedial call backs.
“Every product we develop, and launch is done with the installer in mind,” said Quickslide’s sales director Tom Swallow. “Is it easier to install? Will it be easier to sell to the homeowner? Does it respond to changing tastes and trends? Will it reduce time spent on site? Will it lessen potential call backs and remedials? All these questions were thrown into the overall design mix, and then fabricated into the structure of the Stellar patio door. As a result, we are launching what we believe to be one of the most attractive, easy to install and easy to use patio doors on the market.”
Equally by eliminating the need for a fixed dummy sash, thermal efficiency is improved. Quickslide’s Stellar aluminium sliding patio door range with thermal break exceeds U-value targets with a triple glazed option achieving 0.94 to 1.0 W/m²K, and standard double-glazed option of 1.4 W/m²K.
When specified with laminated glass, Quickslide’s Stellar patio doors become PAS 24 compliant, making them the ideal choice for new builds. Together with toughened glass and multi point locking mechanisms, security is assured for any homeowner. “Combined with our comprehensive marketing support functions, Quickslide trade partners are onto easy profit wins with this patio door,” continued Tom Swallow. “With an extensive range of RAL colours on offer, quality ‘D’ or longline handles, and 2-, 3-, and 4-panel configurations, these patio doors are already proving to be selling themselves.”
