54 VS FOR A STUNNING
1866 RESIDENCE REVAMP
54 Spectus windows with
through horn detailing, including
14 arched vertical sliders, have
been installed in a prestigious
refurbishment project at Foxhill
House.
The new vertical sliders were
chosen to replace ageing timber,
single-glazed, sliding sash win-
dows, of a substantial Italianate
house originally built for the Arch-
deacon of Chester. The windows
Triple-track success for
PatioMaster South East
PatioMaster South
East was the first Patio-
Master dealer to fabri-
cate the new Triple-track
sliding door system when
it launched last year. The
system features two or four
sliding sashes that stack
neatly behind each other
and the PatioMaster South
East team has seen demand
surge, with doors of up
to 4.5 metres wide being
ordered.
The Triple-track system
offers up to 25% more open
space than a conventional
patio door, delivering the
open-house feel homeown-
ers are looking for, even
with smaller frame sizes.
It offers several key ad-
vantages over the bi-fold
alternative. There are no
panes of glass encroaching
on inside or outside space
when they’re open. And
when they’re closed, they
offer a greater uninterrupted
view of the outside world
because the panels can be
up to 1,500mm wide, much
wider than on a bi-fold.
The system has also been
designed to make installers’
lives easier. There is a full
range of ancillary products
including cills, add-ons and
couplers, posts and exten-
sion profiles. The rollers
are edge-located for easy
adjustment. There is also a
mechanically jointed version
for hard to access loca-
tions.

were manufactured by Spectus
Vertical Slider specialists Mercury
Glazing of Gloucester. They were
installed by Droylsden Glass, a
family run business that is one of
the leading window companies in
Manchester.
Installation of the 54 vertical
sliders including 14 arches took
three weeks, with works carefully
planned to minimise disruption
to the day-to-day activities of the
centre. The finished result has up-
graded the appearance of Foxhill,
restoring its stunning heritage
looks. It has also improved the
thermal efficiency of the building
and reduced maintenance require-
ments too. It is the perfect exam-
ple of how the Spectus Vertical
Slider can combine modern day
benefits with heritage authentic-
ity to deliver an outstanding end
result.
