Making ali easy

Pyramid Aluminium has launched an ‘easy-click’ glazing bead and introduced a pre-fitted sill for its SlimFold bi-fold door.

The SlimFold bi-fold door, which has 100mm sightlines, is designed to make glazing aluminium bi-folds as easy as PVC-U, with the new glazing bead significantly reducing installation time.

Paul Bailey, managing director at Pyramid Aluminium, said: “Our SlimFold door is built to ensure a smooth and easy installation, and the new bead system clicks easily into place to help save valuable time on site and generally make fitters’ lives much easier.”

Factory fitted directly to the outer frame, the new sill also saves time on installation and allows for larger glass area.

For busy installers it saves them so much time,” said Paul. “We factory fit the sill onto the frame, meaning there’s no need for the timely process of using silicone to fix the sill to the door. It also features a handy hidden drainage system to improve performance.

“It also allows for an extra 30mm of glass, helping homeowners maximise their views and the light coming into their home.”

Pyramid also pre-assembles and inspects all its doors before delivery, all with the aim of making it easy for installers to get into aluminium.

“Since day one, we wanted to make fitters more confident about installing aluminium,” he added. “Many of our PVC-U customers are a bit hesitant about going into this market, but our easy-click glazing bead and pre-assembled doors make fitting aluminium bi-folds quick and easy,” concluded Paul.
