Working with Atcost Windows

Library Fri, Mar 19, 2021 10:35 AM

Homeowners up and down the country are building extensions on their homes to create modern and spacious living spaces full of natural light and more often than not with a set of Folding Sliding Doors that connect the home to the garden.

Atcost Windows’ customer wanted to be able remove the corner of their extension to bring the outside inside so Atcost turned to their trusted aluminium supplier Kestrel Aluminium Systems to specify a door system that would satisfy their customers’ requirements.

The Challenge

In an ever changing and competitive market homeowners are being introduced to new and different products that create an impressive feature in the home as well as a practical solution to bring light and space into the living space. This discerning customer wanted to be able to remove the wall between the home and the garden and with a promised delivery date Atcost Windows needed to be sure they could fulfil their promise.


The Solution

As longstanding manufacturers of folding sliding doors Atcost Windows were well versed in the build and installation of the Kestrel door system, so turning to their preferred supplied Kestrel Aluminium Systems to find the solution was the obvious choice.

Specifying the corner Folding Sliding Door, the bill of materials and quote was drawn up in-house using the estimating software to provide Atcost with the complete list of required items for manufacture.

The Benefits

The corner Folding Sliding Door was an extension to the popular door system already widely used by fabricators and has proved to be a great success. The compact corner post folds neatly with the doors as they are stacked. The multi-point lock ensures the doors remain safe and secure giving peace of mind to the homeowners.


Jonathon Thomas, Sales Manager at Atcost Windows was full of praise for the work they had done on this project. “This was the first corner folding sliding door we had manufactured and installed and as ever we were really pleased with the system and service offered by Kestrel. We were able to use their system to complete this project for our customer with confidence in the system and knowledge that if we needed any support we could approach Kestrel to help us. The combination of their knowledge and our fabrication expertise has meant the project was completed without any glitches.”

Sales Manager, John Treagust commented on the installation completed by Atcost “It’s fantastic to see impressive residential installations such as this. The Corner Folding Sliding Door is a relatively new product development for us and it’s great to see the impact this product has on a room. From the slim profiles to the end cap the system has been designed to be neat and easy to fabricate.”
