Mercury reports upturn in aluminium
vertical slider sales
Steve said that because of his company’s sash window manufacturing expertise, it had secured several large-scale projects with contractors looking for the aesthetics of a heritage slider and the slimline advantages of aluminium. He commented: “Because we are one of a few specialist fabricators who can offer both aluminium and PVC-U vertical sliders, contractors can choose the option that best meets their project requirements.”
Mercury manufactures the versatile Smart VS 600 vertical slider system, which is suitable for both residential and commercial applications. It can be used in heritage and conservation areas and is also suitable for high-occupancy buildings. The window offers a flush opening with no projection into or out of the building, making it ideal for schools and hospitals. The system features a low-line glazing gasket that will accept 28mm sealed units for next-level aesthetics.
The system is manufactured by Mercury’s skilled team in its dedicated aluminium production facility at its headquarters in Gloucester. The expert team ensures every sash window is precision manufactured, resulting in premium products that combine functionality, durability, and high-end aesthetics.
Alongside its aluminium vertical slider system, the company also manufactures a full range of aluminium products including casement windows, bi-folding doors, sliding doors, shopfronts, curtain walling and internal screening systems. It means the company can be a one-stop shop for aluminium expertise.
The growth in demand for aluminium sash windows has necessitated the expansion of Mercury’s production output. By continuously investing in cutting-edge machine technology and a skilled workforce, the company ensures they deliver consistent high-quality products to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving market.
Steve concluded: “We work hard to make sure we offer the products our customers need with a premier service to match. From consultation to installation, we’re with our customers every step of the way. It’s why our customers know they can trust us as a professional supply partner for all projects.“
