Slung! Expands Distribution Network 08/30/2008
Slung Suspended Systems Corp, the innovator of Slung! custom crafted, top hung, exterior glass doors, has awarded the first Slung! agency to Atlas Meridian Glass Works Inc., the award winning North Vancouver based Glazing Contractor. Having proven itself with more than an hundred panels installed over the past several years in western Canada, Slung! is now rolling out its unique line of large and heavy glass doors with plans for 300 such agencies throughout North America.
Atlas Meridian is committed to developing custom solutions that fit individual client needs and in an effort to stay ahead of the curve in a dynamic marketplace has recognized how a Slung! Suspended System can meet growing trends in residential and commercial construction.
"Slung! has the only flush draining sill we've ever seen. This opens our market up to new levels of Universal Design and accessibility. It also allows designers to eliminate step downs and reclaim space under overhangs as saleable interior space," said Atlas President Brad Ewing. Atlas can now accommodate the trend to blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces through tall and/or wide movable wall systems.
Design professionals often wish to avoid the interruptions of many narrow vertical panels that produce the effect of looking at a view through a picket fence. In today's quest to retain the value of million dollar views architects often wish to avoid the use of transoms which divide large panels horizontally. The Slung! line has been engineered specifically to meet these challenges.
"Our system easily handles individual double-glazed leaf sizes of up to 80 square feet or 1000 pounds," said Bruce Hewson, Vice President of Design for Slung Suspended Systems Corp. "Transomless heights of 12 feet, wide uninterrupted panels, heavy intruder resistant glass, custom cladding are all by your choice." enthused Hewson.
In their monthly newsletter the National Association of Home Builders states, "smaller homes and the abundant use of outdoor space are among the hot design trends..." Slung! Systems can provide this connection between interior and exterior spaces as well as create a wide-open feeling in a relatively small structure.
Atlas Meridian is uniquely positioned to meet client needs and is committed to remaining current and knowledgeable with new products, updated tools and processes. The organization has an impressive history of working with architects and designers to achieve the paramount solution for clients in both commercial and upscale residential applications.
