Victorian Sliders® launches deep bottom rail

As the UK’s leading manufacturer of PVC-U vertical sliding sash windows, we are proud to announce the launch of a new deep bottom rail option for our ECOSlide® elegant sash windows, available from 16th June 2025.

Part of our new campaign, "Time for an Authentic Upgrade," the launch responds directly to our customer demand for a more traditionally styled sash profile that better replicates the visual proportions of heritage timber windows. 

“We’re customer focussed— and this represents the first of a number of product initiatives driven by customer feedback” said Nick Evans, CEO. “From our very first customer forum over a year ago, we identified a strong demand for an authentically styled, deep bottom rail. We’ve taken that idea from concept to production entirely in-house.” 

The newly developed deep bottom rail is featured on the bottom sash of our ECOSlide® window and is designed to replicate traditional mortise-and-tenon craftsmanship. Designed for enhanced authenticity, particularly in period homes and conservation-sensitive projects, it offers the aesthetic depth and proportions historically associated with timber sash windows. 

Importantly, the deep bottom rail maintains all the core benefits of our ECOSlide® system: 

• Industry leading lead times – 7 working days for standard offerings 

• High thermal efficiency 

• Highest weather ratings 

• All standard hardware included 

• Toughened Glass in both sashes 

• Secure by Design and Document Q options 

• A range of heritage colours and woodgrain finishes 

This addition further strengthens Victorian Sliders®’ commitment to combining classic British design with the performance of modern materials — all produced within our fully vertically integrated UK manufacturing operation.

“From initial concept designs and tooling development to full-scale production, everything was managed within our 240,000 sq/ft facility. This level of vertical integration coupled with decades of industry experience allows us to listen and act where our customers are concerned.”  

The new deep bottom rail is now available to order across the UK from 16th June 2025. Trade customers are encouraged to request samples or speak to their dedicates sales manager about adding this authentic new option to their next order.
