Victorian Sliders, one of Britain’s biggest window manufacturers, is hitting the market with another cutting-edge product. A redesign of its EcoSlide window means that it now complies with the requirements of parts L and F of the building regulations.
The upgraded product is set to deliver U-values of 1.4 and a BFRC rating of A+14 to meet Part L. By fitting each window with the maximum number of trickle vents as standard up to 10,000mm² (equivalent area), Victorian Sliders has ensured that the product will meet Part F too. It is planned for the window to be priced at £249 for any size up to 1300mm x 2400mm.
Steve Winslet, group managing director, said: “Victorian Sliders was the first UK manufacturer to bring a fixed price PVC-U sash window product to the market. Now we’re doing it again, with the introduction of a fixed-price sash window that satisfies the latest regulations.
“Installers around the country are crying out for products that help them quickly and easily meet the requirements of parts L and F, and that’s exactly what we’re providing them with. Trickle vents can ruin the appearance of a window if they’re implemented poorly. But thanks to an ingenious design by our founder and group CEO Scot Starkey, this isn’t the case.
“The vents are concealed, meaning the EcoSlide sash window aesthetics are retained. We tasked ourselves with helping our customers meet parts L and F without the fuss. That’s exactly what we’ve achieved. Job done.”
