» THE ULTRA-MODERN AVANTAL door from Endurance Doors has been voted as new product of the year in the 2022 National Fenestration Awards .
Avantal is based on the proven Endurance solid timber architecture and features a range of premium smooth foils to the exterior and a new satin white internal face and edge banding . Hardware is specified through a 3-Star ABS cylinder as standard , along with door ironmongery from Coastal with their Blu collection .
With a demand for higher quality , consumers are increasingly turning to Endurance Doors for the ultimate solid timber entrance door , and to the Avantal product for something a little more luxurious . There ’ s also a new Avantal brochure which has just been launched in response to customer demand .
Stephen Nadin was delighted with the accolade and commented : “ It ’ s not the first time that we ’ ve won an award at the National Fenestration Awards , yet this feels a little more special given the research and development that has gone into this new door .”

U-Values the focus for 2023
» U-VALUES WILL BE THE FOCUS for fabricators in 2023 . That ’ s the view of CDW Systems Group Chairman Jeremy Phillips .
With energy efficiency set to play an even bigger role , the Gloucester based aluminium fabricator , part of the East Manor Group , is making sure it can provide customers with the right products .
“ Customers , be they domestic or commercial , want to get the best U-values they can within their budget ,” said Jeremy . “ Whereas previously customers just want to change windows , we ’ re now finding our trade customers are getting challenged more and more now on what U-value they can provide .
“ The current financial climate means 2023 is going to be quite challenging and the industry will be depending on many things that are out of our control , if we have a really cold winter , for example , that will cost people a lot of money and that will reduce their disposable income on the retail side of things ,” added Jeremy .
“ On the commercial side of things , we are still seeing a lot of projects that were stopped during the pandemic now coming to the fore .”

Leading entrance door now added to luxury ali range
» FOLLOWING A HUGELY SUCCESSful past 12 months , leading trade fabricator Dekko Window Systems has added the Decalu 88 entrance door to its Räum range of luxury aluminium products .
Defined by contemporary sightlines and sophisticated styling , the Decalu 88 entrance door comes in a wide choice of flush and glazed in door slabs , while offering a modern 88mm thermally efficient system . Sales Director Kurt Greatrex comments : “ The door boasts many benefits for installers , the most impressive of which is its use of special ABS inserts , which adapt to temperature change and allow the internal and external faces to expand and contract independently of one another , limiting bowing to a minimum of 2.5mm , even in extreme heat .
“ This means it won ’ t bow or stick , regardless of the temperature outside , removing limitations on door design , including the specification of dark colours .”
The door also features a unique fingerprint control option , and is Part L compliant , thanks to energy-efficient U-Values as low as 1.3 with double glazing and 1.0 with triple glazing .
