The Smart-Slide PVC patio door from aluplast has been nominated for Best New Product at this year’s G21 Awards.
Director of sales and marketing Ian Cocken said: “Smart-Slide represents a real step change in PVC-U patio door design. Many existing competitor systems are based on old technology, and that limits the size at which they can be manufactured – without resorting to an unattractive and costly triple track.
“Smart-Slide has been designed from a blank piece of paper, it can comfortably exceed those dimensions and that makes it a much more desirable proposition to homeowners who want a modern, high-quality door and the maximum amount of glass.
“With Smart-Slide, installers can present a premium, high-margin product to consumers, one that outperforms any other PVC offer on the market but which can also be sold as a more cost effective solution to some aluminium systems.”
Capable of spanning 4.5m x 2.5m with just a sash and a fixed panel, Smart-Slide can potentially accommodate individual sash weights of up to 200kg and is fully tested to PAS24.
Uniquely, it can also be locked on all four sides of the sash, allowing homeowners to part open the door for additional ventilation.
