“We’re pleased but not surprised by these statistics,” commented Tony Drake, Fenster Fabrications managing director. “We have positioned Üni_Slide to cater to a surge in demand in this exact market – high-end consumers, unwilling to compromise on looks or performance and instead looking for sliding door solutions that excel in all areas.”

Other respected studies have also registered huge growth in aluminium door products over the last decade. The Palmer Market Report reported that 25,000 bifold doors were installed in 2011. By 2013, this had jumped to 32,000.

The most recent Palmer study, published in October of this year, reported that while the total volume of glass and glazing products was down 0.7%, the continued shift towards higher end offerings actually delivered a 2% increase in installed volume. Palmer also tipped the aluminium door sector for significant growth in the years ahead.

“These trends are fantastic news for us and our customers,” Tony continues. “With Üni_Slide, we’re perfectly positioned to take advantage of the surging popularity of aluminium products that deliver outstanding design, exceptional performance and stunning aesthetics – and it’s hugely encouraging to receive statistics as positive as these as we seek to establish and expand a nationwide network of Üni_Slide dealers. If you’re interested in becoming the sole Üni_Slide provider in your area, don’t hesitate to get in touch.”
