SLIDERS UK LAUNCHES
NEW IN-HOUSE SPRAY-
PAINTING FACILITY
Sliders UK has launched a new in-house spray-painting
facility, increasing flexibility of finish and shortening
lead times on special order composite door colours.
Now fully operational, the
new purpose-built facility, gives
Sliders UK the flexibility offer com-
posite doors in any RAL colour.
These are sprayed in high
performance and environmentally
friendly, solvent-free water-based
paints and come with a full 10-year
guarantee.
Sliders UK launched its new
PAS24 and Part Q approved ‘intel-
ligent timber’ Ultimate Composite
Door early this year.
Among the UK’s most secure
doors, its manufactured using a
AB Glass enlisted for Cwmbran
school development
Aluminium manufacturing and installation
company AB Glass has been appointed by
Kier Construction to carry out works at a new
school development based in Cwmbran.
The £30 million redevelopment of
Croesyceiliog School will accommodate
1200 pupils aged 11 to 16 and is linked
to the Welsh Government’s 21st Century
Schools programme.
Swansea-based AB Glass will manufacture
and install a range of aluminum systems
for the project, including Kawneer AA100
curtain walling, AA540 windows, and AA190
and AA720 doors. Vitral UK rooflights will
also be used for the project. The company is
due to start work on the new development
this month (August 2018).
Alan Brayley, managing director of AB
Glass, said:
“The education sector is a significant area
of business for AB Glass and we are pleased
to be adding to our portfolio with the Cro-
esyceiliog School development. This project
also showcases our continuing relationship
with Kier Construction, with AB Glass hav-
new leaf which features 15mm
thick LVL timber inserts. Intelligent-
ly encased inside a foam core and
durable GRP skin, these provide
additional core strength without
impacting on thermal efficiency.
Security is further enhanced
through Capstone’s patented three
stage glazing cassette system,
which supports easy replacement
of glass but maximizes security.
The use of timber inserts means
that the Ultimate Composite Door
is also supplied with an industry
leading maximum bowing toler-
ance of just 3mm.
It’s also available with a choice of
Eurocell or Duraflex framing options
which are available as standard in
white and woodgrain foils but can
also be colour-matched to the door.
The investment made by Sliders
UK in its new painting facility
follows the 10,000 sq ft extension
of its factory, which was complet-
ed at the end of 2016. Sliders UK
is also in the process of building a
new powder coating facility, which
is scheduled for completion at the
beginning of the autumn.
