DEMPSEY DYER, THE long-established fabricator with a reputation for excellence in PVCu and timber, has expanded its already industry-leading Deceuninck offering with the addition of the company’ s Slider 24 door.
Designed as a best-in-class sliding door solution, the Slider 24 came after Deceuninck extensively tested a number of existing products on the market, then sought out to better them. As a result, it’ s a door that excels on all levels – delivering A + rated energy efficiency, PAS24-accredited security, and huge aesthetic choice, available in 26 colourways.
What’ s more, the door offers market-leading weather resistance performance – achieving Class E8A water permeability with a
rating of 450Pa, Class A3 wind resistance of 1200Pa and Class A4 air permeability with a rating of 600Pa.
“ We’ ve been working with Deceuninck for more than 30 years,” commented Dempsey Dyer MD, Peter Dyer,“ and by now we know to expect something special when they bring out a new product. With the Slider 24 they’ ve shown their typical dedication to product development – producing an all-round exceptional door that’ s easy to install, looks fantastic, and boasts market-leading weather resistance.”
The fabricator has also recently begun offering Deceuninck’ s Heritage flush sash.

OVER THE PAST FEW years, progressive fabricators, like Liverpool-based Warwick North West, have enjoyed substantial growth by supplying premium quality bi-folding doors – and now, a new study from respected industry experts suggest this trend is likely to continue.
Esteemed home improvement market analysts, AMA Research, have produced a report examining the state of the UK residential door market. According to the study, the sector grew by 7 % in 2015 and predicts further growth of between 3 and 5 % between now and 2020.
Construction specialists, Palmer Market Research, have charted the growth of the bifold market over a number of
years, seeing the 25,000 bi-folds installed in 2011 increase to 32,000 by 2013. The recently published 2016 Palmer Report predicts that the growth in the bi-fold market will continue in the years ahead.
“ As one of the country’ s biggest PVCu bi-fold suppliers, this is welcome news for us,” commented Greg Johnson, Director at Warwick North West.“ We’ ve seen first-hand how bi-folds have grown from a niche product area into something very much in the mainstream and look forward to bringing stylish, highperformance bi-fold products to installers and end-users for a long time to come.”

AS THE UK’ S LEADING network of patio door manufacturers and suppliers, PatioMaster is happy to announce its latest dealer, ADM Windows, trading as PatioMaster South Yorkshire.
The Sheffield-based fabricator will be appointed as a PatioMaster dealer in October, and is already looking ahead to a successful future, as Director Aaron Fountain explains,“ ADM has long since had a background of working on niche products, so when the opportunity came up to join the PatioMaster network, it was an easy decision for us to add one of Epwin’ s niche products to our range. We had been looking to add PatioMaster doors to our portfolio for some time; they stand out by far as the best in the market place, and our offering couldn’ t be complete without it. It is an established product, which delivers a host of installation efficiencies, making it popular with installers and homeowners alike.”
Back with a vengeance, sliding patio doors can provide unobstructive, panoramic views of the outdoors, allowing for large glass panels and will often result in less vertical bars than those of bi-folding doors.
