The Visofold system is the UK’s most popular aluminium bi-fold door range and the profile of the new Visofold Slim 1000 has been reduced by 10mm to 122mm to make the glazed area even larger.

The Visofold Slim 1000’s new Quick Glaze Bead has been developed with combined gasket and trim which can be simply tapped into place on-site. This provides further thermal efficiency, makes the installation and glazing process faster, more straightforward and more cost effective.

Phil Walker, Managing Director of Real Aluminium, said: “We are very pleased to latest technology – and is set to redefine customers’ expectations of roof vents.

It does away with the need for ‘leak prone’ muntin bars meaning it’s more weathertight than its competitors. Using powered actuators that can be intelligently automated, SheerVent® brings roof vents into the 21st century at last.
