PATIOMASTER NORTH WEST SEES STRONG
DEMAND FOR TRIPLE-TRACK PATIO DOORS
PatioMaster North West has
reported strong sales growth for
Triple-track patio doors in the last
twelve months. Phillip Cresswell,
Sales and Marketing Manager
for the North West PatioMaster
division, said: “The trend for wide
apertures and large expanses of
glass has never been stronger. We
have seen a constant demand for
Triple-track doors as installers take
advantage of the growth in the
market from homeowners looking
to create the open-house feel that
is so on trend and which a Tri-
ple-track patio door can deliver.”
The Triple-track door offers 25%
more open space compared to a
conventional sliding door and has
the option of having two or four
sliding sashes that stack neatly
behind each other when opened
without encroaching on the inside
or outside of the property. It has a
maximum aperture of six metres,
making it the perfect solution for
bigger projects. There’s also the
added benefit of having stainless
steel tracks that mean the doors
open in a smooth single motion
and have fewer moving parts than
on bifold doors.
The PVC-U construction and the
choice of 28 colours and finishes,
including grained and flat textures,
plus the choice of white, gold,
brass, chrome, black or silver han-
dles mean the doors sit comforta-
bly in more UK homes. Installation
has been designed to be straight-
forward and simple. Features such
as edge-located rollers mean easy
adjustment and the door system
works perfectly with standard cills
and frame packers. There is also
a mechanically jointed version for
hard to access locations.
Part of the expert PatioMaster
network, PatioMaster North West
is based in Lancashire and serves
a wide area from North Wales
through Merseyside and all the
way up to Carlisle. Installers will
find the North West operation a
professional, knowledgeable and
friendly team who pride them-
selves on the quality of the patio
doors they manufacture.
Phillip concludes: “As part of the
PatioMaster network we have a
commitment to providing bespoke,
precision made patio doors. We
offer a rapid order turnaround
with superb technical and product
support. And for where additional
peace of mind is a requirement,
we offer a Secured by Design
accredited door option too. The
Triple-track door is a superb prod-
uct and there has been more con-
sumer interest in this product than
anything previously, so we are not
surprised that the demand for this
product continues to grow.”

CLEARVIEW GLAZIERS AHEAD OF THE GAME WITH STELLAR
In June, Clearview Glaziers were one
of the first fabricators to manufacture Stel-
lar, the brand-new aluminium window and
door system from Epwin Window Systems.
Four months on, Robin Squibb of Clearview
Glaziers is delighted with the results and
reports: “We have found the Stellar window
and door system a breath of fresh air to
fabricate. It seems like aluminium windows
should have always been this way. No hor-
rible adapters everywhere just clean, neat
lines. It really is straightforward to manufac-
ture. We are delighted.”
But it isn’t just the fabrication process
where Stellar is delivering for Clearview.
Robin said: “We have offered our customers
choice between some of the highest brand-
ed names in the aluminium game, but they
have chosen the Stellar system every time
due to its clean, modern aesthetics. This
has put us way ahead of the competition
and in a crowded market, this is great news
for our business and our customers.”
Clearview Glaziers is based in Peterbor-
ough and works in the domestic, trade and
commercial sectors. It has a strong online
presence to support its sales and marketing
activity and has two websites, www.clear-
viewglaziers.com, which has a domestic
focus and www.clearviewbuyonline.co.uk,
which targets the trade and DIY sectors.
Stellar was designed from scratch to de-
liver the next generation of aluminium win-
dows and doors with no compromise. It is
aimed at the retail and light commercial sec-
tors and, as Robin reports, has everything
those sectors demand. For example, it has
the slimmest sightlines on the market – it’s
at least 30% slimmer than the main compet-
ing systems and has a 12% larger glass area.
Plus, it’s the only aluminium system on the
market to offer a Fully Flush Casement Win-
dow, with flush lines inside and out.
As Robin and his team are experiencing,
the system was designed to be simple and
easy to manufacture and install. For exam-
ple, it’s a unique patent-pending pre-gasket-
ed system that saves up to 20% on fabrica-
tion time and has patent-pending knock-in
beads that speed up glazing and leave a
clean gasket line on the inside. Robin con-
cludes: “As a company we are aiming to try
and make our aluminium products as large
as our PVC-U offer. We feel confident that
we will achieve this because of the quality
of Stellar and the support of Epwin Window
Systems.”
