folding sliding door.
Featuring two highly
experienced engineers from
Synseal’s Technical Services team,
Gary Woods and Stuart Prescott,
the eight-minute video shows the
removal of an old inline sliding
patio door and its replacement
with a new 3-2-1 bi-fold door.
The production follows a
step-by-step approach and
captions support the voice-over
commentary and emphasise key
details such as recommended
outer frame fixing points. The
preferred concealed fixing method
is highlighted to promote best
installation practice.

Glass unit toe and heeling
and WarmCore’s straightforward
glazing method using push-fit
beads with integral gaskets is also
demonstrated.
For industry professionals
in a bit of a hurry, there is an
alternative ‘stop-motion’ version
of the video on YouTube which
presents the whole bi-door
replacement process in less than
40 seconds to an up-tempo music
soundtrack.
“We hope this friendly and
accessible video will help inform
installation professionals and
also build confidence with
consumers,” comments Synseal’s
Head of Marketing, Mark
Schlotel.
