In-house paint facility
11th September 2018

SLIDERS UK has launched a new in-house spray painting facility, promising increased flexibility of finish and shortening lead times on special order composite door colours, including doors in any RAL colour.

Sales director Steve Mines said that bringing painting in-house gave it control of the complete manufacturing process: “If you’re sending work outside, you’re reliant on your suppliers and where your job sits in the queue. “In bringing spray painting in-house we gain far greater control, reduce transit and can offer greatly improved lead times to our customers.

“40% of the doors that we supply are now custom-colour. That’s something that we only expect to increase. We see the flexibility to supply any colour on shorter lead times as a key commercial advantage to our customers.”

The investment made by Sliders UK in its new painting facility follows the 10,000 sq ft extension of its factory, which was completed at the end of 2016. The company is also in the process of building a new powder coating facility, which is scheduled for completion at the beginning of the autumn.
