Q. How are doors
manufactured?
A. A 60mm subframe of MDF
which allows trimming of up
to 25mm per side and an
extra high density
polystyrene core for
insulation giving six times
the insulation value of a
traditional interior door
and improved impact
resistance. The doors are
finished using a 1mm uPVC
plastic coating on either
side. The 35mm sides of the
door can either be
edgebanded using white
plastic or edgetrimmed by
using a central groove in
the door and a capped strip.
The edgetrim can be flat or
rebated; the rebated one
will facilitate the hinge
without the need for cutting
out. Lock blocks are fitted
centrally to both sides of
the door, this eliminates
potential mis-fitting of
latches and other hardware.
Q. What styles are
available?
A. There are currently
12 different styles
available.
Q. Is there a choice of
colour?
A. White is obviously
the most popular colour and
these doors can be
edgebanded or edgetrimmed.
Beech is available in
certain styles with
edgetrims only. We also
supply Ivory coloured TIC
style doors. They are only
available edgebanded.
Colours are UV stable.
Q. What is the maximum
and minimum sizes?
A. Doors are
manufactured to customers
own specifications, bespoke.
The max height is 2070mm
(81.5in), max width is 864mm
(34in), min width size is
450mm (17.75in) depending on
door style. In some
instances the moulds on the
door will determine the
size. See specifications
shown for individual styles.
Q. How easy are they to
fit?
A. Fitting is the same
principle as a traditional
wooden door using linear or
metric measurements.
Q. If a Fire Door is
required, do you
manufacture?
A. Yes. A 30-minute fire
rated door is available in
several different styles
certified to British
Standard.
Q. Do you have a choice
of door skin covering?
A. There are currently 2
types of skin, the
traditional woodgrain effect
or a tic skin (impregnated
uPVC covering marked to
create a grain effect).
Q. Do you need to paint
the doors?
A. No. Doors are
maintenance free and require
only an occasional wipe
down.
Q. Do the joints crack or
move over time as
traditional doors?
A. No. There can be no
movement due to the
manufacturing process.
Q. Does the door warp?
A. No. This should not
be possible.
Q. I would like a set of
French doors?
A. Any of our doors can
be used as French doors,
whether complementing the
hall, conservatory entrance
or separating living room
from the dining room. We
have a unique French door
trim which requires no
rebating.
Q. Do you supply handles?
A. Yes. We have options
available with chrome or
brass handles. We also have
latches, hinges, thumb turn
locks and star keys
available if required.
Q. We would like to use
uPVC doors for a wardrobe?
A. Doors can be adapted
depending on style.
Q. Can a Loft hatch be
manufactured?
A. Yes, cut to size.
This will also be insulated
to prevent heat loss.
Q. Is a guarantee
offered?
A. Yes. A 3-year
guarantee is given with
internal doors from date of
manufacture subject to terms
and conditions, but please
retain invoice.
Q. We have an awkward
cupboard door, is it
possible to supply?
A. Yes. Depending on
size and style most openings
can be accommodated. A
matching grained flat panel
is a good solution to this
problem.
Q. Is the glass toughened
on glazed doors?
A. Yes. All glass used
is manufactured to 4mm and
toughened to BSEN Standards,
stamped with a kite mark.
Q. Are there any
restrictions on glass
designs?
A. No. A fully
comprehensive range of
designs are available as
stock as seen in our
brochures but individual
requirements can always be
discussed. Different styles
of glass can be adapted to
fit several types of doors,
the choice is just about
unlimited.
Q. Can we have obscure
glass for privacy?
A. Yes. We have many
types of glass available to
provide various levels of
privacy.
Q. Clear glass or
decorative?
A. As all glass is
produced in-house, virtually
any options are available.
By using lead and bevels in
different combinations most
designs can be created. We
have an extensive range of
coloured films and we are
now producing resin lead
work.
Q. Is it possible to have
a Bi-fold door?
A. Yes certainly. Using
4 of the styles currently
