Deceuninck Aluminium has added a slim-interlock option to its ultra-energy-efficient Decalu163 lift-and-slide aluminium patio door, making it “an instant win for fabricators and installers”. The system can accommodate individual sash weights of as much as 400kg, and achieves U-values of as low as 0.8 W/m²K, triple glazed.
Now that it is available with a slim 53mm interlock, the Decalu163, is primed to support fabricators and installers in capitalising on the home improvement boom, according to Nigel Headford, Deceuninck Aluminium’s business development director. “Lift-and-slide products are seeing resurgent demand as part of the lockdown-driven boom,” he said. “Straightforward to manufacture, with only minimal investment in tooling required, and easy to install, the Decalu163 is now available with a slim 53mm interlock option, increasing homeowner appeal and making it an instant win for fabricators and installers.”
Launched as part of Deceuninck Aluminium’s expanding offer, the Decalu163 lift-and-slide is available in single, twin and triple-track options. In common with the the Decalu88 bi-Fold and its wider window and door range, the Decalu163 is supplied in dual-colour, textured and marine grade finishes as standard. It also features the same high-performance, pre-inserted flush gasket and advanced thermal breaking technology used by Deceuninck Aluminium across the Decalu window and door range, guaranteeing thermal efficiency and weather sealing.
“If you can manufacture a product that has proven appeal with installers, for minimal investment and stockholding, why would you buy in?” said Nigel. “You can manufacture the entire Decalu range – that’s the Decalu163 lift-and-slide, Decalu88 bi-fold, French and residential door, and the window range – on one set of tooling. Highly modular, you don’t need to tie-up cash in stock and manufacturing times are 40% faster.
“Most importantly, it’s a product range that as a fabricator – or installer – your customers want!” For more information call 01249 816 969, email deceuninck.ltd@deceuninck.com or visit www.deceuninck.co.uk.
