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.
