Door Industry Journal - Winter 2012

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 22 THE door industry journal winter 2012 garage doors GLIDEROL’S MANUFACTURING ADVANTAGE Gliderol’s Peterlee factory is unique in the UK. Aside from the rolling mills that produce Gliderol’s market leading steel roller door and insulated roller door assembly bays, it houses the 103 metre long sectional door panel line - the only plant of its kind in the UK. With this facility Gliderol has a definite advantage when it comes to lead times. “We’re not shipping panels or complete doors across Europe to fulfil our orders, we make them at Peterlee, we knew that to generate sales of sectional garage doors we needed to offer something different to our trade customers and Panel_Glide does that, and some!” said Peter O’Loughlin, Managing Director. He continued, “We have everything in-house so we’re not just quick on the standard sizes, the specials are equally speedy. Add this to our no-nonsense pricing policy of any style one price and coloured paint finishes at the same price as white, our impressive product offer has a unique service aspect to it as well.” Lead times for Gliderol products are as follows: all GlideRol•a•Door, all Roll•a•Glide and all white finish Panel•Glide door orders placed before close of business on a Tuesday are delivered in the following week. All Panel•Glide coloured door orders placed before close of business on a Tuesday are delivered in the second following week. If you’d like details of Gliderol’s Panel•Glide range of sectional garage doors, they feature in a product guide as part of their vertical lift garage door and opener range.
