SBD focuses on crime prevention of homes and commercial premises and promotes the use of security standards for a wide range of applications and products, including windows and doors helping to put the resident at ease.

Quickslide customers have the opportunity to request SBD (Secured by Design). Each door set carries 28mm double glazed units incorporating soft coat toughened safety glass as standard. Glass specification is key when affecting the doors’ thermal performance as glass generally accounts for 80% of the surface area of the doors. The smooth contours and curved clean lines create an attractive aesthetic that will compliment any home, whatever your taste or style. Quickslide’s bi-folding doors glide on stainless steel rollers, which allows for unrestricted thoroughfares and maximum use of space and light. Quickslide is a well-established business specialising in the manufacture of sliding sash windows, casement windows and doors, bi-folding- and sliding patio doors in PVC-u, Aluminium and Timber. Roger talks through some of the key considerations and challenges for the installation of bi-folding doors.

Overall, two thumbs out up for the SLR2 Pro Carbon set.Roger Bisby provides a detailed installation of bifold doors guide for Quickslide bi-folding doors making a complex installation easy to understand. We love the ability to go all out with customization, and the quality of this gear has been rock solid for years. Lastly, Vaughn is a Canadian company with all their pro gear made in Canada. Having always used a normal lace on my toe, the bungee lace is an interesting change, and perhaps the first time I’d consider switching from my trusty skate lace. The QuickSlide Technology introduced on this pad combined with the solid butterfly made sliding easy and energy-saving. Being somebody who likes a stiff pad, but also the reactiveness of a snug pad, this provided me with the perfect combo, being one of the most comfortably snug pads while also rotating fully. Given I haven’t used Vaughn many times before trying this pad, I was very impressed with the overall performance of the pad. The bungee lace allows for more reactiveness and less strain on your ankle and toes when in the butterfly, except instead of Velcro, Vaughn has opted to use a clip/hook function with a carbon fibre bridge that will strap up across the skate laces. Similar to what other brands have created, most notably the Brian's Smart Toe Strap or the E-Flex 4 Toe Straps, Vaughn has incorporated the bungee lace into their toe with their original spin on it. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, Vaughn abandoned skate lace for their toe option, switching to a more current bungee lace design. Perhaps the most notable part of this strap is the fact that is separated in the middle with an elastic strap allowing for a flexible and forgiving bootstrap adding comfort and reactiveness. Similar to the original SLR pad, the bootstrap has an adjustable angle enabling the ability to use it under the skate or through the loop on the back of the skate. Geekvape Mesh coil brings purer flavor and great clouds Quick slide coil design allows for quick access coil. Vaughn has put a new spin on the bootstrap, justifying reasons to keep wearing it as more and more goalies (and even some brands) begin to boycott the strap altogether. The attached strap fits on the lower calf right in between the other mid-calf strap and the bootstrap. The calf set up has a minor change this year, with Vaughn adding in a second calf strap for a snugger fit and a more reactive pad. As seen on the SLR and VE8 pads, this magnetic feature enables quick and easy set up while also mimicking the same functions of the original leather straps and buckles. Another cool feature is the use of magnetic buckles on this strap. This strap alone would be enough to keep the pad on without any of the other calf straps by wrapping around the upper calf, just under where the knee bends. Next, we move on to the Re-Active Rotation Control strap, perhaps one of the most comfortable straps I’ve ever tried.

The strapping on the SLR2 is almost identical to the strapping of the previous 2017 SLR model, with the main change to the toe and calf straps.The knee cradle strap still provides the adjustability of strapping it around the knee or down lower moving the belt around the upper calf.
