NOTHING VENTURED …

Offering fabricators four new cassettes for its Contemporary door range .
» DISTINCTION DOORS HAS unveiled the much-anticipated Venture Collection . Designed to elevate and enhance the company ’ s Contemporary door range , the collection features four new cassette styles - the 8S , 8L , 8N and 8P . All snap fit , the cassettes are steel effect with a smooth texture on both the internal and external face .
Available to order online from today , the new cassettes are ready to use with eight door styles in the Contemporary range . This includes four from each of the Espirit and Infinity Collections . The cassettes bring modern and continental flair to these existing door styles . They can be positioned left , centre and right , with one exception .
To celebrate the launch of the Venture Collection , Distinction Doors is also introducing a new door style to its Infinity Collection – the GD11 . Heavily influenced by European design , the modern GD11 boasts three horizontal glazing apertures positioned top , middle and bottom , against a grooved detail background .
For speed and ease , the snap fit cassettes use the same glazing method as the company ’ s other cassettes . To stay faithful to the look and feel of current continental door styles , Distinction Doors will not be spraying the cassettes in any colour . The cassettes can , however , be glazed with triple-glazed and laminated decorative glass from Distinction to intensify the door ’ s modern and high-quality styling .
“ Once again , we are responding to market demand – giving our customers more of what they want ,” comments Andy Grogan , associate sales director for Distinction Doors . “ The Venture Collection brings design flexibility to our existing door styles . Currently , the cassettes work with eight of our door styles , and we hope that this will increase overtime , depending upon demand .”
