Description

Quickslide have been supplying Great Harwood Windows with sliding sash windows for several years, creating a strong partnership built on shared standards and mutual trust. The relationship is supported by consistent product quality, dependable lead times and a service level that supports projects of all sizes.

For a recent conservation project overlooking Pendle Hill, Quickslide supplied seven sliding sash windows. Each was finished in a gorgeous agate grey woodgrain with traditional features like a slim midrail & deep bottom rail to round off the heritage styling. The final design was completed with antique black heritage hardware, a Victorian style single astragal bar layout and a PAS 24 security upgrade, combining authentic period detailing with the reassurance of modern security. The end result delivered the traditional appearance needed to fit the conservation area requirements, without compromising on performance or quality.

Quickslide is the go-to name for conservation area projects. While renovations are strictly regulated and timber windows were traditionally enforced, innovative manufacturing techniques in recent years mean heritage style uPVC sash windows are now a preferred option for many projects. Quickslide’s Legacy sliding sash windows have been successfully approved for many conservation schemes thanks to thoughtful design details. Features such as the 37mm slim midrail, fully mechanical joints and high quality woodgrain finishes help replicate traditional timber aesthetics while offering the practical benefits of uPVC.

As a Yorkshire manufacturer with trade partners across the country, Quickslide are perfectly placed to supply windows across the UK. Sian, Operations Manager at Great Harwood, describes Quickslide as ‘a trusted supplier with high quality products’ and praises the ‘ease of process’ that comes with buying directly from the manufacturer. It’s this combination of product performance, service and strong working relationships that continues to make the partnership a success.
