INTEGRAL MOVE FOR
MERCURY GLAZING
Established specialist fabricator, Mercury Glazing
Supplies Ltd, has become the first fabricator to
manufacture the new aluminium Integral bifolding
door recently launched by Epwin Window Systems.
Steve Cross, Director of specialist fabricator
Mercury, said: “We are delighted to be the first
fabricator of the new Integral bifold and know it
will add value to our established door portfolio.”
Steve is quick to praise
the design properties of the
door. He said: “Aluminium
is the perfect material for
bifold doors because it has
the lightweight strength
that’s required. However, the
clinical lines of aluminium
frames don’t sit comfortably
with the PVC-U windows
that are used in the majority
of the UK’s homes. Integral
bifolds solve this problem
because they are an alu-
minium door with PVC-U
detailing that’s designed to
suite perfectly with leading
PVC-U systems.
stallers, Integral is consider-
ably quicker to glaze due to
the flexibility and pre-gasket
The door is already
‘ opening
up a new level of
opportunity for installers ’
“It means homeowners
can choose a bifold door
that creates the light-filled
space they want without
having to compromise on
the aesthetics. And for in-
PVC-U beads. The door is
already opening up a new
level of opportunity for
installers.”
