Sliders UK

The UK’s largest Patio Door specialist, Sliders (UK) Ltd., has supplied 200 ‘Ultimate’ patio doors for a new housing development in Swindon.

This major order for its market-leading ‘Secured by Design’ patio door reflects the high-quality products and service it has given to the commercial division of Emplas, one of the largest independent fabricators in the UK, for many years.

Barbara Galloway, Emplas Commercial Manager commented: “We set very high standards for all our products. We are delighted with the security level of the ‘Ultimate’ patio doors and, just as importantly, the excellent support service from everyone at Sliders UK. We had to offer to our client, in addition to the 1500 (no) Secured By Design Windows and Double Doors we were manufacturing, a high security Patio door which only Sliders UK were able to offer”.

The aesthetic ‘Ultimate’ Patio Doors feature a stylish, non-standard colour scheme, grey on white, specially produced to complement the contemporary design for the Wates Living Space development in Pipers Way, Swindon.

Sliders UK leads the PVC-U Patio Door market, with an unrivalled track record, having manufactured the UK’s first ‘Secured By Design’ patio door since July 2008. Its class-leading system, the ‘Ultimate’ patio door, is the first in-line PVC-U patio door to have been awarded the Association of Chief Police Officers’ ‘Secured by Design’ status and the BBA’s Enhanced Security certification.

The ‘Ultimate’ range features a new six-point lock with pincer-action hooks, Yale anti-bumping cylinder, an improved security handle and a set of interlock protectors and spring bolts, all of which combine to make it the most secure patio door on the market.

Ian Longbottom, joint managing director at Sliders UK explains: “Innovation, quality and service have all been key to our business growth. That’s why we work closely with all our customers and industry partners to develop the most attractive and secure PVC-U patio doors on the market.

“As security is becoming a decisive purchasing factor for the homeowner, the ‘Ultimate’ range is enabling Emplas, and all our valued customers, to win more business as a result of its outstanding levels of security.”
