7 Things You Didn ’ t Know About … Victorian Sliders
Most people know that trade fabricators , Victorian Sliders , is based in Wales … But here are seven things you may not know about Europe ’ s largest specialist manufacturer of PVCu vertical sliding sash windows .
2 . MORE THAN DOUBLING IN SIZE Anticipating continued success and growth as Europe ’ s largest specialist manufacturer of PVCu vertical sliding sash windows , Victorian Sliders is busy expanding its headquarters complex located on a 14-acre site in South Wales at Capel Hendre , Carmarthenshire – not far from where the M4 motorway ends ! Building works are currently underway to more than double the size of ECOSlide production facilities from an impressive 110,000 square feet to a truly massive 240,000 square feet – that ’ s about 5 football pitches !
1 . DESIGNER , EXTRUDER & FABRICATOR Founded by owner Scot Starkey in 2005 , Victorian Sliders was originally a standard systems window fabricator but that all changed in 2009 when Scot decided to focus on designing and extruding his own unique vertical sliding sash PVCu profiles . The company has enjoyed dynamic sales growth every year since then , operating as a designerextruder-fabricator of ECOSlide sash windows strictly for the trade only .
3 . INVESTING FOR EFFICIENCY It takes just 40 seconds for Victorian Sliders to make a sash and less than 2 minutes to make a complete ECOSlide PVCu vertical sliding sash window . Such efficiency is only possible through investing £ 10 million in the very latest production technology – 95 % of machinery at Victorian Sliders is less than 3 years old . For example , assisted by Kall Kwik , the company has just taken delivery of 2 new BAZ1000 Schirmer sash cutting and machining centres , which are the fastest to be installed in the UK . These investments , including 9 Urban quad-welding and corner-cleaning lines , help to keep Victorian Sliders ahead of the game .
