Composite door hardware range:‘ More options than ever before’

Conservatory Outlet has added a variety of new hardware to its flagship collection of composite doors.
» THE NEW HARDWARE choices include a selection of traditional and modernist knockers, which have been selected to appeal to a wider variety of homeowners. The flagship additions feature a classic Bull Ring knocker, which will specifically cater to demand from traditional and rural properties, and a striking metallic flush knocker that pairs perfectly with the Forté’ s Designer door styles.
Mick Giscombe, Conservatory Outlet’ s Managing Director, said:
“ Handles are an important part of a door’ s composition. Consumers expect to have the same design flexibility with their hardware as they do with the style and colour of the door itself.
“ Adding these feature pieces of hardware gives homeowners more options than ever before. And it also allows our Premium Retailers a further opportunity to provide a unique offering that’ s different to other installers or door sets from other manufacturers.”
The new suite of hardware is already available for order on any Forté composite door, including both the standard foam core option and the 44mm timber-core Extreme Solid upgrade. Conservatory Outlet has also updated its customer-facing online design software to include these new options, with these changes now live across all platforms.
The new hardware options are available in a range of finishes, including black, chrome and graphite.
All the hardware is tested to the highest technical standards, surpassing BS EN 1670 requirements and is supported by Conservatory Outlet’ s leading guarantee.
Forté composite doors are available exclusively to Conservatory Outlet’ s Network of Premium Retailers.
