The benefits of replacing original timber sash windows with modern low maintenance and high performance PVCu equivalents are discussed , along with ease of operating the two sliding sashes for ventilation and the tilt functionality for ease of cleaning from inside the building . Elevational window styles , foil and spray-painted colour options , privacy glasses , operating hardware choices |
and security features are all clearly explained . ECOSlide sash windows are A-rated as standard and a section explains window energy ratings in plain and simple terms to build confidence amongst homeowners , who will be keen to enjoy a warmer , more comfortable home with energy-efficient PVCu sash windows . “ This brochure is designed for our professional trade installer customers to issue to their retail clients at the initial sales enquiry stage ,” says |
Mark Schlotel , marketing director at Victorian Sliders . “ There is quite deliberately no mention of Victorian Sliders or our company logo , with just ECOSlide product branding presented and a space on the back cover for installers to affix their contact details .”

Experienced home improvements and glazing professional Trevor Hopper is the latest addition to the growing team at Made For Trade . Having served the industry for almost 40 years , Trevor stated he is ‘ immensely proud ’ to join the flourishing bi-folding door , lantern roof , and conservatory roof manufacturer as a trade sales manager . In particular , he will be championing and demonstrating the company ’ s self-designed Korniche lantern roof to installers and trade customers across the UK . Trevor explained : “ Having known Made For Trade ’ s directors , Bradley and Richard Gaunt , for a while now , I have always appreciated their innovation and attention to detail . Their focus on product quality , good customer service and competitive pricing has always impressed me so I am absolutely delighted to be joining the company at such an exciting time .” Having been designed from scratch by Made For Trade , the Korniche lantern roof features components that have never been used in other roofs and fixings that are all hidden to allow for very slim unbroken sightlines . In addition , no trimming or cutting to size of any profile is required on site , with every part connecting together for a quick and easy installation . The lantern requires no silicone sealant in the roof structure itself , with the only silicone required being between the base of the eaves beam and the existing structure .
The Korniche is also fully thermally broken to give the lowest U-values and features an innovative all-in-one glass lock and retainer to ensure the locating and locking of the glass is easy and secure . Trevor added : “ I am looking forward to getting out in the field , meeting customers and demonstrating this new and unique product to them .” Managing director , Bradley Gaunt , said : “ I ’ m delighted to welcome Trevor into the Made For Trade family . His vast experience in the sector will be a great advantage for us as we continue to expand the company and increase production on all our products .” Trevor ’ s appointment comes as the company has expanded factory space significantly for the third year running , increased employee numbers to over 80 , added more vehicles to its delivery fleet , and ordered extra CNC machines to help aid production . In addition , Made For Trade is due to attend The FIT Show with a larger stand in 2017 , when the show moves to the Birmingham NEC .
