FIT SHOW 2022 PREVIEW
Doors without comp-romise
An exciting new business is taking the composite door industry by storm and are premiering their products at the FIT Show 2022 on stand F51 . Comp Door in Staffordshire began manufacturing from its impressive 46,000 sqft factory in March this year . The company was formed by industry experts with the aim of engineering out the most common issues of composite doors from the outset . The result is a top-quality , high-performance product that has already gained the praise of installers .
The prerequisite for any new business is identifying a need that isn ’ t being met and then delivering a product that fulfils that need . For the team at Comp Door , this meant creating a superior , durable yet stylish composite door that was both compliant to new regulations and affordable .
Pierre Mifsud , Technical Director at Comp Door has spent 30 years in the composite door industry and the last 12 years of that at one of the UK ’ s leading composite door manufacturers . He explains , “ We formed Comp Door so that we could apply our experience , know-how and understanding to bring a good product to market .”
Using their combined skills , experience and expertise , the technical experts at Comp Door considered every detail of the manufacturing process and composition of the door , carefully selecting the best quality machinery and components available . So , what exactly are the features that make Comp Door products stand out from competition ? Pierre explains ,
Outstanding U-Value
“ We deliver market-leading U-values for high energy efficiency . With important changes in UK Building Regulations coming soon , all composite doors will soon need to comply to a U-value of at least 1.4 W / m 2 k . CompDoor aims to always be one step ahead , which is why we ’ re already making doors to comply to this requirement .”
TriSeal frame
“ Our doors have an industry-first TriSeal frame , which basically means that we insert three seals on the door frame . One of this feature ’ s many benefits is that it offers optimum weatherproofing and reduces the chance of air leakage .”
Auto-Fire Lock and timber construction
“ Our premium cross-laminated Albasia Falcata timber core means every Comp Door meets new regulations . It is then fitted with an auto-fire lock , an automatic multi-point locking system featuring four self-locking deadbolt latches to give maximum security and keep the door latched at all times over the full height of the door . It requires no homeowner intervention as with a single latch and lift lever , thus eliminating the chance of the door not being secured properly .”
CoolSkin technology
“ Thanks to our revolutionary , high performance CoolSkin technology , customers can stay assured that their Comp Door entrance doors will stay looking great for years to come . The solar deflective layer will help to prevent the door skin from wear , cracking or fading , helping it to look its optimum for longer .
“ This CoolSkin technology makes the door skin much more robust and durable than other alternative skins used by most other composite door manufacturers .”
Automated bonding process
“ We use automation in the bonding process of each door because we believe it ’ s the best way to eliminate the possibility of human error , which can happen to even the most experienced and well-trained person , especially in a process such as this , where attention to detail is extremely important . “ Through our automated process , ADHEER ( Advanced Hydro Electric Equalised Release ), we reduce delamination and achieve the best possible result on each and every one of our doors .”
InvisiEdge
“ Last but not least , our doors stand out for their outstanding aesthetics too . How ? We incorporate a technically advanced InvisiEdge system , giving a seamless colour edge to the door faces . This maintains perfect aesthetics whilst ensuring up to 100 % moisture resistance .
“ The InvisiEdge system consists of the following steps :
• Timber is cut to size and style routed .
• Next , the door is edge bonded .
• Subsequently , the door skin is adhered “ By following these three steps , we ensure that the doors have a seamlessly great look .”
For Comp Door ’ s trade customers , this means they can have complete confidence that the door they ’ re installing will guarantee happy customers . Comp Door also offers a personal service and quick lead times , with online order and payment options available , and customer support that is open , honest and convenient , such as live production and delivery tracking for all orders .
