Stand T10 will also feature an example of an arched VS – with Quickslide being the only manufacturer who can make a true arch with no welded joints in the outer frame – as well as a standard her- itage VS which won the 2018 ‘NFA Sash Window Company of the Year’. the on-stand team ‘ to visit see how it all works ’ www.quickslide.co.uk INNOVATION AND DIGITAL EVOLUTION UNVEILED From the 21st-23rd May, warm-edge expert Edgetech will be showcasing cut- ting-edge innovations and a brand new product, to thousands of visitors from UK fenestration.
