To meet the regulatory requirements, window and door manufacturers often have to work with suppliers to find the best solution that is not only compliant but also provides a finish that meets homeowners’ expectations.
A example of how collaboration works best is illustrated by Quickslide’s forward thinking to develop the Modular Vent working in partnership with Glazpart.
Based in West Yorkshire and operating from state of the art facilities in a 150,000m2 space, Quickslide has supplied installers UK wide with some of the best windows and doors on the market for over 20 years.
In partnership with Glazpart, Quickslide developed a bespoke vent solution for their Legacy VS range to enable all their welded vertical sliders of more than 1055mm in width to carry 12,000 EA in a single window, meeting the Building Regulation (Approved Document F) requirements for ventilation in England, Wales and Scotland.
On the partnership with Quickslide, Dean Bradley, Glazpart Sales Director commented, “We are delighted that Quickslide are Glazpartners and that we provide ventilation solutions for their market leading products. Our collaboration and innovation to produce the Modular Vent is the perfect example of how working together can deliver great results.”
