Quickslide was one of the pioneers of bringing the classical Sliding Sash into the mainstream market, matching an authentic appearance with high-spec energy efficiency, security and weather resistance. “Nothing is growing in demand faster than heritage foils, especially on classical window styles like our authentic Sliding Sash and judging by early reaction from installer partners and consumers, it will be another winner.” “This is one of the most authentic heritage foils we have seen in a long time and we had no hesitation in adding it to our range straight away,” said Sales & Marketing Director Tom Swallow. Combined with the embossed and distressed rustic woodgrain and a choice of traditional furniture, buyers can choose an authentic-looking period window that offers the most advanced energy efficiency and security.

In the continuing quest for authenticity Quickslide also prepares windows using a state of the art seamless welder. Living Oak, with the unmistakeable silver-grey lustre of weathered vintage timber including authentic knots and hand-sawing grooves, is the latest addition to Quickslide’s already comprehensive range of finishes, textures and woodgrains, joining existing classics like Irish Oak, Golden Oak and Cherrywood. Where so many in the market are complaining about the insistence of trickle vents under the revised Part F of the Building Regulations, Quickslide showed pragmatism and challenged us to provide them with great solutions that will satisfy regulations whilst also providing attractive vents appropriate for Quickslide’s distinct product range.As part of Quickslide’s quest to encourage homeowners to consider windows and doors as furniture the company’s design team has added ‘Living Oak’, one of the most authentic woodgrain foils ever developed, to the options for its Vertical Sliding Sash window. After all, we’re not here to sell windows, we’re here to make sure our customers can,” revealed Tom.ĭean Bradley, Glazpart’s Sales and Marketing Manager commented: “This was a very interesting exercise. “The partnership with Glazpart continues to evolve and while developments of a bespoke vent solution unique to Quickslide’s flagship Legacy VS are kept tightly under wraps for now, we’re confident that we will be ready with a product range that not only looks great but also complies with all mandatory performance criteria.
Glazpart’s Link Vent is an excellent solution for our casements, satisfying the statutory airflow requirements in a unit that is attractive and very discreet. The requirement for trickle vents will be mandatory from 15 th June so it was imperative that we did something about it to provide an ideal solution for our customers. Quickslide Sales & Marketing Director Tom Swallow was quick to praise the response by Glazpart in providing a solution for his company: “At Quickslide we take a practical approach. Glazpart has ensured that the vents are not only discreet but also colour matched to Quickslide’s casement profile, including a carefully selected range of finishes that blend in perfectly with the company’s 26 stock colourways. The fear of spoiled aesthetics through the inclusion of trickle vents has been alleviated due to the care taken in the design of the Link Vent. Thus, compliance with Part F may be achieved using the same number of trickle vents that were required under the old legislation. The Glazpart Link Vent chosen by Quickslide for its range of PVCu casement windows and doors uses aerodynamic calculations to deliver double the volume of airflow through a trickle vent with half the footprint of conventional types.
Quickslide approached Glazpart when it became clear that the requirement for trickle vents would become statutory, tapping into the firm’s reputation for developing customised solutions for a range of glazing accessories, and especially for trickle vents.
