Direct Trade Windows meets customer demand with premium sliding sash

30 January 2023 | General

Direct Trade Windows has added vertical sliding sash windows to its product offering, in response to increased demand from customers.

The Slough-based manufacturer is offering the VS600 vertical sliding sash window from Smart Systems, a modern solution that creates a temporary look for any property.

Director AJ Hassanali comments: “Our customers have been asking for vertical sliding sash windows, and having worked with Smart for many years, we knew their offering would be the best on the market.”

Ideal for use in heritage and conservation areas, the VS600 offers ease of operation and outstanding natural ventilation. Offering a flush opening with no projection into or out of a property, the window is also often used in schools and hospitals.

The system features low line glazing gaskets that will accept 28mm sealed units, achieves a U-value of 1.6, and also features a concealed drainage and concealed coupling option.

As well as the vertical sliding sash, VS600 also features a ‘tilt in’ operation that facilitates the cleaning of the external glass.

Assembly of VS600 is optimised through a square cut outer frame and sash joints which require minimal machining aiding fabrication.

AJ continues: “The VS600 adds to our already vast range of Smart aluminium products, including the Heritage and AluSpace ranges, and is the ideal product to help our trade customers offer the best on the market to the end user.

“We have always had a great working relationship with Smart, and thanks to their premium and high-quality products, we’ve received good feedback from our valued customers, which is something we pride ourselves on. This addition to our product portfolio has certainly been worthwhile, and we look forward to continuing to deliver the excellent products and service our customers are used to.”
