Newglaze Sales Manager, Annabel Simmons comments: ‘The Paladin door certainly attracts attention, particularly when it is illuminated at night. We wanted to create a cosy ‘lifestyle’ feel to our displays and demonstrate how new doors and windows can enhance the home.
‘People invariably choose a door they can see and touch, so we always keep a large range of door styles on show. We chose the Paladin door because we liked it – and it’s the best-looking composite door we’ve seen. It has been very well-received,’ adds Annabel.
As an existing PVC-U panel customer, Newglaze decided to stock the quality Paladin door as it complements and widens the company’s existing product range.
Cheltenham-based Portal Products recently launched a GRP version of its popular Paladin steel-faced composite door to meet demand for a sturdy, yet good-looking product in this fast-growing sector.
Portal, one of the UK’s leading door panel manufacturers, says the addition of the fibreglass door completes its product range to maintain its exclusive niche as a ‘one-stop shop’ supplier to installers.
And companies such as Newglaze find this service useful in helping them to expand their product offering.
Recently, GRP has become an increasingly popular choice for entrance doors due to its inherent strength and high resistance to denting, warping or twisting. The strength of the material is testament to its use in the manufacture of racing cars, speedboats and even British Army tanks.
Portal’s portfolio comprises PVC-U panels, aluminium panels and composite doors in steel and GRP, giving the company flexibility to cater for all markets. Similarly, the launch of new products such as Amatis and the resin-bevelled glass range has also increased the appeal, and sales, of the range.
