REDEFINING INTERIOR FINISHES
» FENTRADE ’ S DESIGN FLAIR HAS come to the fore with a series of projects displaying its innovative use of aluminium for interior finishes . Chris Reeks , Managing Director at Fentrade , commented : “ The ID30 Internal Door and Screening System is a fabulously versatile system . We ’ ve recently created several projects for homeowners who want to achieve a modern , contemporary aesthetic .”
In one recent example , Fentrade ’ s design team developed a specification for a project involving an ID30 Door and internal staircase . Chris commented : “ The ID30 offers scope for experienced designers to think outside the box . In this project , for example , we complemented the ID30 doors by creating a stylish set of internal bannisters from standard aluminium .”
The ID30 ’ s versatility means it has quickly become a popular choice with Fentrade ’ s customers . Chris said : “ As well as the more innovative projects , our customers
have used the ID30 system across domestic and commercial settings , as internal door and screens , as office partitions and to create shower and bathroom spaces .”
The versatile system features single and double hinged entrance doors , as well as single and double sliding door sets . All options can be customised with colour , glazing choices and door furniture options .
As these projects show , the Fentrade team is always on hand to add value . Chris said : “ As an experienced aluminium fabricator , we are committed to offering our customers the service they need . High quality manufacture , rapid turnaround times and complete reliability are just the start . We can also offer design and specification input when required , helping our customers to push the boundaries of product design and functionality and achieve outstanding results for homeowners .”
