‘After what has been for us all an inconceivable 18 months, we dust ourselves down and ask the question what does next year hold in store for the industry?
At this time of year, the sales team sets out to visit many of our existing customers to thank them for their continued business and gauge their thoughts for the future.
Overall, the outlook is positive. Order books are healthy through the first quarter and the hard-pressed ‘builder market’, which has seen the largest extension of lead times, is showing many businesses to be booked up well into 2022! This flow appears absent of cancellations or drop in demand and the general opinion is that the retail market will hold, especially as holidays continue to be difficult.
At Sliders we don’t stop still, it is just the demand of time and product in this period that has seen us not have the time to launch a new product that we have been working on for the last 18 months.
The Ultimate Evoslide Aluminium Patio Door will launch in early 2022. We see it as not only the best Patio on the market but will act as a complement to our Ultimate Evolution Bi fold and offering customers the choice of aluminium sliding products.
More information will be released post-Christmas.’
