Gladiator are you ready?
» JAMES CROSSLEY
features in the latest creation
produced by Endurance’s winning
marketing team; or, as those of us
who lived through the 90s know
him, Hunter from Gladiators. In
this video, he is put up against
three contenders: a uPVC door,
a GRP foam-filled composite
door, and an Endurance solid core
composite door.
The video shows Hunter make
light work of the uPVC and
GRP doors, smashing through
them with ease. However, the
Endurance door proves a greater
challenge and more than a match
for the Gladiator. Despite his best
efforts, the Endurance door stays
solid and secure.
In the second half of the video,
Hunter is joined by back-up to
try the Endurance Challenge.
Even with three minutes each and
a sledgehammer, none of these
tough guys can break down their
door.
It’s no surprise that Endurance
composite doors can defeat all
challengers, considering the
iconic, 48mm solid timber
core. This unique design makes
Endurance doors up to 10%
thicker than most of their
composite contenders. Compared
to uPVC or GRP alternatives,
Endurance doors are in another
league.
