We believe that skimping on these smallest but most important of components risks catastrophic failures.” “Fasteners make such an important contribution to the overall quality of our finished products that we simply do not take any risks. Rapierstar has become Quickslide’s exclusive supply partner for window and door fasteners, meaning its products are now used in the assembly of the core PVC-U product range.įollowing an initial fastener health check, which is a review conducted by Rapierstar’s technical consultants to assess the use and application of the many different fastener types across the factory, the company has supported Quickslide to implement changes that will rationalise fastener use and streamline assembly. Quickslide is one of the country’s largest producers of PVC-U vertically sliding sash windows, which it offers as part of a wide range of PVC-U and aluminium products including aluminium bi-fold and sliding doors.
