Installer Support
CUSTOMER DAYS HERALDED A RESOUNDING SUCCESS
Award-winning window and door manufacturer , Quickslide , has just wrapped up an exhilarating two-month tour across the UK , bringing informative events directly to customers in their local areas . Throughout April and May , Quickslide hosted engaging workshops in South London , North London , Birmingham , Leeds , Bristol , and Glasgow .
Adrian Barraclough , Chairman of Quickslide , shared his enthusiasm : “ Supporting installation businesses is crucial , as they are right on the front lines and often rely on the support of proactive suppliers . We wanted to offer that support face to face and give our installer customers a rare opportunity to get together with their peers , as well as learn about new products and marketing support from the Quickslide team .
“ Customers were particularly captivated by Quick-Glide , our innovative slide and fold door system , and the refined Legacy vertical slider featuring the new slim midrail . The first-hand demos of the Legacy On-Screen web tool were met with excitement , and based on the positive feedback , we ’ re already planning something similar for Quick-Glide . But don ’ t just take my word for it - I ’ ll leave the final word to one of our customers …”
Director at Crystal Clear in Bristol , James , said : “ Quickslide as a group are almost like an extension to our family . Everybody ’ s always helpful and everyone wants to deal with us to get it right . This morning ’ s customer event has been great in terms of fantastic products coming up , a new window we really , really love , and the software is amazing .”

HERITAGE WITH A MODERN TWIST
Quickslide has supplied a whopping 557 vertical sliders for a new build housing development in Burgess Hill , Sussex that was completed over four phases .
Developers Croudace Homes chose Ideal Window Solutions to help complete their new community of two- , three- , four- and five-bedroom homes and , in turn , Ideal Window Solutions turned to Quickslide to fulfil the brief . “ We ’ re a glazing installation specialist celebrating our 28th year and the preferred supplier for many major developers ,” says Thom Emerson , Ideal Window Solutions ’ Sales and Marketing Director . “ And for over ten of those years now we ’ ve been buying from Quickslide .”
The King ’ s Weald housing development is located on a 19-hectare area once used by the Keymer Tile Works , where production can be traced back to 1740 . Quickslide ’ s vertical sliders were chosen to complement the site ’ s ethos to create a community of high-end homes that blend traditionally inspired detailing with stylish and comfortable modern design .
Quickslide supplied vertical sliders in white uPVC with a single astragal bar in
both the top and bottom sash . No sash horns were requested , to complete the heritage feel with a modern touch . Additionally , depending on their location , some windows also featured Quickslide ’ s enhanced PAS 24 security upgrade to comply with Document Q of the building regulations .
The King ’ s Weald project is a testament to the synergy between these three companies . Quickslide ’ s high-quality vertical sliders , Ideal Window Solutions ’ expert installation , and Croudace Homes ’ vision for a development that honours its historical roots while offering the best in modern living .
“ Quickslide ’ s windows were perfect for the requirements of this project and competitively priced ,” said Thom . “ Quickslide ’ s buying process is one of the easiest we have ever used ; the staff are professional and responsive , and their customer service is exceptional .
“ I ’ d recommend Quickslide to any installer for their quality and first-class service ,” Thom Emerson added .
The success of this project demonstrates the strength of their collaboration and the high standards they uphold in the industry .
