The company’s year-on-year growth continued, achieving a sales turnover of £3.6million, with 44 employees producing 350 patio door units per week.

Sliders were approached by PVCu systems company Veka to fabricate their new vertical sliding sash window system.

In early 2008 Sliders UK moved to a 40,000 sq foot factory unit.

The company’s version of the Duraflex patio door became the only in-line patio door to meet the current requirements of the BBA. Sliders UK also became BBA accredited for their manufacture of the Duraflex in-line patio door.

The company further enhanced the security of the door with bespoke engineered components produced in conjunction with hardware partners Winlock Security and MI Products and successfully tested the door to become the first and only patio door endorsed by Secured By Design.

Bi-folding doors become the latest addition to the Sliders range of niche fenestration products.
