Choosing standard colours for the slim frame sliding doors: A Time-Saver

Our standard Polyester Powdercoated (PPC) colours for our InfiniGlide 3 slim frame sliding doors are RAL 7016 (Anthracite Grey), and RAL 9005 (Deep Black). Due to the popularity of these colours, we stock these aluminium extrusions in bulk at our factory; this means you can save up to 6 weeks in procurement by going for these standard colours.  Not only does this use time efficiently, this also ensures you will receive our products on site without delays.

Streamlined Design and Procurement

Another key for lead time-saving approach is to agree on opening sizes for your slim frame sliding doors during the design stage. Good communication between our in-house design team and the contractor is key; our skilled designers can work with you to set the right tolerances, so the procurement can begin as soon as the drawings are approved. Whilst waiting for the windows and doors to be manufactured, the builder may start constructing the openings therefore making the lead time shorter.

In-House Design Expertise

If you decide to provide us the opening sizes, our in-house design team can provide the technical drawings for your Infiniglide3 slim frame sliding doors within 48 hours of receiving the right information. This speedy response time ensures that everybody involve in the project has the information they require promptly, allowing for a smooth project progression and a reduction on the lead time.

Speedy Manufacturing and Delivery

Having two simultaneous shifts in our factory during our busy periods ensures that your slim frame sliding doors will be made as quick as possible. In-fact, because we specialise in producing our standard InfiniGlide 3 sliding doors with 20mm sightline, we can deliver these doors within just 6 weeks. This impressive turnaround time guarantees that you will receive your doors on time, and enjoy the benefits of a high-quality, stylish glazing without the unnecessary long lead time.
