Three years on from the opening of their office and depot in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, sash window experts Victorian Sliders® have become a firm fixture in the Scottish window market.
Perfectly located to supply installers throughout Scotland and the wider UK, it’s home to an experienced team of six staff who work tirelessly to support hundreds of Victorian Sliders customers, installing tens of thousands of windows across Scotland.
Regional Sales Manager – Scotland, Kevin Smith, has been based at the site since it opened.
“I’ve known Victorian Sliders® for about 15 years,” Kevin explains.
“My background is in raw PVC materials, and for many years I supplied Victorian Sliders® with the PVCu blend it uses to make ECOSlide®. In fact, I delivered the first batch when the company began extruding!
“That’s given me an excellent insight into the industry, Victorian Sliders®, and the ECOSlide® product itself – and meant I was in a great position to explain the many benefits of that product to hundreds of installers around Scotland.
“We cover the whole of the Scottish region, and I am generally out on the road meeting our fantastic customers.
“Backing me up in the office are Elza, our Office Manager, Claire and Abi who generate all customer quotes within an hour, and two delivery drivers!”
“We have a showroom at the depot so installers can bring their homeowner clients, by appointment, and demonstrate how an ECOSlide® sash window works.
Kevin concludes:
“Traditional sash windows have been a huge part of Scotland’s architecture for hundreds of years, and it’s no surprise that we’re seeing huge demand for quality, low-maintenance, easy-fit examples like ECOSlide® to this day!”
The most outstanding sash windows in Scotland?
ECOSlide® from Victorian Sliders has been aiding installers in the sash window market for over 17 years. Despite their timeless appearance, wooden sash windows were challenging to install and maintain, as they were prone to rot and hard to keep in good condition.
Thankfully, ECOSlide® provides an excellent PVC-U alternative that is quick and easy to install, long-lasting, and offers great energy efficiency.
The window’s double glazing is highly thermally efficient, reducing heat loss and condensation, making it an ideal choice for customers seeking to draught-proof their homes.
Tens of thousands of homeowners in Britain and Ireland benefit from the window’s vintage look and exceptional thermal performance.
In 2022, an ingenious redesign made the product even better, complying with Part L & F requirements and delivering U-values of 1.4 and a BFRC Rating of A+.
Colours to suit any requirement
The window also comes in a vast range of coloured foils and can be spray-painted in RAL colours to cater to any client’s requirements.
Additionally, it is extremely secure, featuring top and bottom toughened glass and an anti-jemmy bar, and comes with a ten year guarantee. Victorian Sliders will continue to enhance its market-leading products in the coming years.
