Quickslide has launched additional colour options, including exclusive dual foils for vertical sliders, following the opening of a new 18,500ft² dedicated foiling facility that has increased in-house foiling capacity by 30%, as well as allow the company to respond more quickly to foil trends.

Quickslide is said to have surveyed its trade partners to help inform the decision for the new colour selection. Respondents were asked which dual colours they thought had the greatest sales potential, as well as their thoughts on what foiled finish might be most likely to increase sales in the next 12 to 24 months.

“Based on these responses we’ve launched our new colours,” said Quickslide’s managing director, Ben Weber, “and we’re most excited about our dual colours for VS, which are now available in exterior/interior combinations of grey woodgrain/heritage white and agate grey/heritage white.

“We’ve also included a white woodgrain/smooth white option for VS from stock, as well as launching smooth grey available across the entire Deceuninck range.”

Of the foils Quickslide currently offers, the survey revealed white woodgrain remains a top choice with customers along with agate and anthracite greys, which is reflected in the new colour options. Cream woodgrain, Chartwell green and black foils were also highlighted as top sellers, followed by golden oak, rosewood and Irish oak.

“Overwhelmingly, our survey showed our partners find foiled finishes an easy upsell to customers, which is why it is so important we respond by keeping our colour offerings fresh and up-to-date,’ said Ben. “And having in-house foiling capability and recently moving this to a dedicated and expanded facility gives us the capacity and ability to react to new colour trends quickly and cost-effectively.

“Listening to and reflecting our partners’ needs so they can make sure they are meeting those of their customers is absolutely crucial to our business, as we can only grow our business if our partners can do the same.”
