Sternfenster creates opportunities with new Triple Track Slider

Sternfenster is one of the first fabricators in the UK to manufacture and supply the new triple track option of the Slider24+ door from Deceuninck. Manufactured as a dedicated single profile, the new triple-track slider accommodates openings of up to 6m in a six-pane configuration and 4.4m in a three-pane option.

“The PVC-U sliding patio door remains a popular product, and with the new triple track option, we are creating significant opportunities for our customers to present exciting new designs to homeowners,” Sternfenster’s Sales Director Nathan Court said.

“Its popularity is partly down to the timeless nature of the patio door. And since Covid, more people want to open their homes to the outside space. And because the new triple track slider can open up to 6m wide, it goes head-to-head with aluminium systems for aesthetics. But it does it with far better thermal performance and at a more attractive price point.

“And – as with all new product launches from Sternfenster – we supply a ready-made promotion kit, which includes images, videos and pre-written social posts and content, helping installation companies sell to their customers.”

The triple track slider from Sternfenster is fully Kitemark tested. This includes PAS24 2022 in a fixed and two-sliding sash configurations of up to 4,420mm wide by 2,280mm tall.

It is also fully tested in a six-pane configuration including two fixed lights and four sliding sashes to 6m wide and can also be manufactured in a Secured by Design specification.

Individual sashes can be manufactured to up to 1,500mm wide or individual sash weights of up to 150kg.

The triple track slider from Sternfenster can achieve a WER of A double glazed, is Part M mobility compliant, and has market leading weather performance.

“We fully support our customers during the sales process, giving them the tools to convert more leads,” Nathan said. “These include our virtual showroom, which walks homeowners through the customisation process, including the vast array of colours alongside glazing and hardware options.

“Our bespoke EasySales software then allow you to create professional looking quotes, which dovetails neatly with Sternfenster-Plus (SF+) and EasyAdmin, giving you full visibility of the production process, while managing the project right up to customer sign-off.”

EasyAdmin also allows window installation companies to have complete oversight of their profit and loss. This information is updated daily and allows business owners to see the health of their accounts in real time.

EasyAdmin works with SF+, which improves communication with customers and gives them greater insight into the fabricator’s manufacturing capacity.

“Our new triple track option on our Slider24+ patio door is the perfect opportunity to get ahead of the curve in a market sector we know is thriving and is profitable,” Nathan concluded.
