‘ UK ’ S MOST POPULAR ’ PVC-U SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM ENHANCED
» EPWIN WINDOW Systems has announced several new updates to its popular PatioMaster PVC-U sliding door system . Gerald Allen , Head of Marketing at Epwin Window Systems , said : “ PatioMaster is the UK ’ s most popular PVC-U patio door system , and it just got even better . The latest updates further enhance the system without losing any of the high-quality features that our customers appreciate .”
The PatioMaster door system is held in high regard by customers due to its outstanding aesthetics and high-quality system protocols that are a cut above mass market offerings . Gerald added : “ We ’ ve listened to customer feedback and brought back the Yale 6-hook lock . We are also working closely with Yale to develop a new PAS 24:2016 locking system based around the Yale 6-hook lock with shoot bolt extensions to create 10-point locking for maximum security .”
Further upgrades include enhanced security . The PatioMaster door now has an improved reinforcing chamber width , which allows for larger reinforcing and means the system is 33 % stronger . There is also improved thermal performance and a new sash profile that increases the variety of glazing options to 28mm and 36mm ( which is triple glazed ). And weather seals have been further improved as a result of the introduction of a new PCE gasket . Gerald commented : “ Thermal efficiency is taking centre stage once again . Our new glazing options means consumers can maximise the comfort of their homes .”
There have been aesthetic enhancements too . There is a choice of outerframe options to increase design versatility and a new interlock sightline perfectly aligns with the opposing sash rebate for a more considered aesthetic . There is also a new midrail design that not only looks good but is easier to fabricate because it involves fewer components .
The system benefits from Epwin Window Systems ’ colour offering , which features 19 stocked foil finishes including on-trend shades such as Sage , Claystone and Pebble Grey , as well as 30 Made to Order options . There are also five complementary base colours , white , tan , brown , cream and grey , to provide a sleek , high end aesthetic even when doors are open .
