» NOW ARMED WITH THE BENEFIT of feedback from the retail installers appointed since last year ’ s FIT Show , GERDA has taken the lessons learned from its spectacular debut and distilled that information into its offer for visitors to its stand at the 2023 event .

With the information gleaned from last year ’ s appearance and combined with the real-world experience gained from the growing Gerda Retail Installer Network , visitors to this year ’ s stand ( P31 ) will find a more relaxed atmosphere with a range of doors curated more finely for the UK market . Gerda Residential Doors , a household name in its native Poland , has worked with Gerda UK , to reflect British tastes as well as anticipating the tougher performance standards due with the impending Future Homes standard .

Gerda Residential Doors are unique in the UK with a range of contemporary steel and aluminium faced doors , that offer a level of thermal and security performance

that is not available at this price point from any other brand . The past year has been used to develop classic four panel , glazed and unglazed styles in addition to the contemporary designs that have become so popular with buyers of aluminium windows in Britain and Ireland in recent years .

Gerda ’ s unique engineered construction uses steel or aluminium skins mounted on robust internal aluminium chassis , utilising a PU foam core that provides excellent thermal insulation . Gerda doors are specified throughout mainland Europe for their attention to security , with all doors enjoying multi point locks , three bolt main locks , anti-burglary vertical bolts , anti-theft pins and optional auxiliary locks for added security . New Fuhr hardware will be available on some models for 2023 .

Following demand from UK installers , Pioneer Gerda will also be launching a fire door , whilst a new door configurator will link homeowners , installers , and the factory to allow homeowners to design their own door whilst keeping lead times competitive with other premium door suppliers .
