Vertically versatile
Mercury Glazing Supplies has reported that it is being called upon to manufacture windows to complex and demanding requirements.
Chris Reeks, the Mercury’s sales and marketing director, said: “It’s easy to think that creating standard rectangular vertical sliders in PVCU is achievement enough. But vertical sliders come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and the talented people on our shop floor prove every day that PVCU isn’t just limited to the standard shapes.”
Examples of unusual vertical slider windows that Mercury has produced in recent months includes gothic arched windows, semi-circle arched windows, sunburst astragal bar windows, double curved windows, and vertical sliders that mimic casement windows.
“Vertical sliders are a popular choice in new build properties where the architect or developer wants to add a touch of heritage style. Having the ability to fabricate PVCU vertical sliders in unusual shapes opens up a new world of design possibilities for them, enabling them to add further value to their developments.
“There are also period properties up and down the country that have non-standard vertical sliders. Our ability to manufacture windows to fit these shapes means PVCU is a viable option for them.”
