Designed as a best-in-class sliding door solution , the Slider 24 came after Deceuninck extensively tested a number of existing products on the market , then sought out to better them . As a result , it ’ s a door that excels on all levels – delivering A + rated energy efficiency , PAS24-accredited security , and huge aesthetic choice , available in 26 colourways .
What ’ s more , the door offers market-leading weather resistance performance – achieving Class E8A water permeability with a
rating of 450Pa , Class A3 wind resistance of 1200Pa and Class A4 air permeability with a rating of 600Pa .
“ We ’ ve been working with Deceuninck for more than 30 years ,” commented Dempsey Dyer MD , Peter Dyer , “ and by now we know to expect something special when they bring out a new product . With the Slider 24 they ’ ve shown their typical dedication to product development – producing an all-round exceptional door that ’ s easy to install , looks fantastic , and boasts market-leading weather resistance .”

OVER THE PAST FEW years , progressive fabricators , like Liverpool-based Warwick North West , have enjoyed substantial growth by supplying premium quality bi-folding doors – and now , a new study from respected industry experts suggest this trend is likely to continue .
Esteemed home improvement market analysts , AMA Research , have produced a report examining the state of the UK residential door market . According to the study , the sector grew by 7 % in 2015 and predicts further growth of between 3 and 5 % between now and 2020 .
Construction specialists , Palmer Market Research , have charted the growth of the bifold market over a number of
years , seeing the 25,000 bi-folds installed in 2011 increase to 32,000 by 2013 . The recently published 2016 Palmer Report predicts that the growth in the bi-fold market will continue in the years ahead .
“ As one of the country ’ s biggest PVCu bi-fold suppliers , this is welcome news for us ,” commented Greg Johnson , Director at Warwick North West . “ We ’ ve seen first-hand how bi-folds have grown from a niche product area into something very much in the mainstream and look forward to bringing stylish , highperformance bi-fold products to installers and end-users for a long time to come .”

AS THE UK ’ S LEADING network of patio door manufacturers and suppliers , PatioMaster is happy to announce its latest dealer , ADM Windows , trading as PatioMaster South Yorkshire .
The Sheffield-based fabricator will be appointed as a PatioMaster dealer in October , and is already looking ahead to a successful future , as Director Aaron Fountain explains , “ ADM has long since had a background of working on niche products , so when the opportunity came up to join the PatioMaster network , it was an easy decision for us to add one of Epwin ’ s niche products to our range . We had been looking to add PatioMaster doors to our portfolio for some time ; they stand out by far as the best in the market place , and our offering couldn ’ t be complete without it . It is an established product , which delivers a host of installation efficiencies , making it popular with installers and homeowners alike .”
Back with a vengeance , sliding patio doors can provide unobstructive , panoramic views of the outdoors , allowing for large glass panels and will often result in less vertical bars than those of bi-folding doors .
