Mila and Whiteline Manufacturing strengthen partnership with new Lift & Slide patio doors

» MILA AND WHITELINE Manufacturing have strengthened their long and fruitful partnership, with the leading south-east fabricator taking Mila’ s Harbour Collection of handles for its Sheerline Prestige Lift & Slide patio doors.
Whiteline Manufacturing has chosen the stainless-steel Mila solution for its modern aesthetic, premium material specification, and rigorous testing that has enabled doors to achieve PAS24 accreditation.
Available in 10 stylish finishes to suit any aesthetic, the Harbour Collection is perfectly suited to the modern, contemporary aesthetic of the Sheerline Prestige Lift & Slide Patio Door, designed to let
homeowners enjoy the great outdoors.
The handles are crafted from premium, 316-grade stainless steel. This ensures superior corrosion resistance for protection against the elements and makes them ideal for both internal and external use.
Certified to BS EN 1670 Grade 5, each handle in the range is exposed to salt spray for 1,000 hours to ensure it stands the test of time. As a result, they offer exceptional durability and corrosionresistance.
In addition, the handles have been rigorously tested for resistance to forced entry, including drill resistance, lock picking, snapping, and tool manipulation.
Leighton Baitup, Head of Product, Technical, at Whiteline Manufacturing, comments:“ Our relationship with Mila spans more than two decades, and it’ s one we value highly. The recent Lift & Slide project was a real highlight – achieving PAS24 accreditation on the Sheerline Lift and Slide is no small feat, and it reflects the calibre of Mila’ s hardware.
“ With their SUPA range already well-respected across the industry, and the Harbour range now available too, we look forward to continuing to grow our partnership with them.”
Julie Holmes, Sales Director at Mila, adds:“ Whiteline Manufacturing is one of our most highly valued partners, and this latest collaboration shows the growing market demand for lift and slide systems, which combine a luxury, high-end feel with slimness and smooth operation. We supply the complete Lift & Slide hardware with our Harbour range, ideally positioning us to offer it to any Sheerline manufacturer.”
