convenience should always be
considered when looking to make
a smooth and easy sale, which is
an approach that sits at the core
of the MyDoor Door Designer.
This modern design tool is set to
redefine how homeowners interact
with their home improvements,
comprising a step by step process
that enables them to design a
completely bespoke product.
The MyDoor Door Designer
features the full MyDoor range,
which includes upwards of 60
door styles, 40 colours, and a wide
range of hardware and glazing
options as well. This means that
homeowners can find their dream
door quickly and easily, resulting
in a lead that is then passed on to
their nearest Preferred Installer.
This tool features six simple
steps for a homeowner to
design their dream door,
including ‘Door Type’, ‘Frame
Shape’, ‘Door Style’, ‘Colour’,
‘Glazing’ and ‘Finishing’. This
process is made easier by an
accompanying visual aid, which
ensures homeowners get a full
and accurate representation of
their dream door as it comes
into fruition, step by step. At
this point, homeowners can even
superimpose their new door onto
a photograph of their home,
taking the guesswork out of
deciding on their dream door.
Once a homeowner has decided
on their chosen door design, they
can submit their details in order
to receive a quote from a member
of the MyDoor Preferred Installer
Network.
MyDoor Preferred Installers can
also harness the lead generation
power of the MyDoor Door
Designer for their own websites
and social media presence. The
MyDoor Door Designer can
be customised with a Preferred
Installer’s own branding and
company colours, meaning it can
seamlessly be integrated into any
website to act as a lead generation
engine or a useful sales tool.
The MyDoor Door Designer
also doubles up as an easy to
use online quoting and ordering
system. MyDoor Preferred
Installers are offered their own
login information, where they can
log in, design their chosen door
and generate an instant quote
for the supply of their completed
door design. At this point,
ordering a door is as simple as
clicking a button.

TOWER BLOCK TRANSFORMATION IN WALSALL
» » PROFILE 22’S AWARD WINNING
Optima casement and tilt and turn windows,
along with matching PVC-U doors, were
specified in the refurbishment of two tower
blocks in Walsall, West Midlands.
whg, owners and managers of the Little
London and Wood House tower blocks,
specified Profile 22’s Optima suite for the
installation of 960 new external windows and
130 balcony doors.
The installation contractor for the project
was M Howells (Services) Limited. Matt
Howells, Director of M Howells, says: “We
are very experienced in the replacement of
windows in high rise and low level blocks
in the West Midlands and have undertaken
numerous refurbishment projects for whg.
This project was the latest of these.”
Fabrication of the profiles was undertaken
by one of the West Midlands’ leading Profile
22 Optima fabricators Stedek Windows &
Doors. Manufacture of the windows and doors
on the project ran smoothly despite several
challenging factors. Richard Hammond,
Stedek’s Sales Director, comments: “The tower

blocks had unusual front façades and the
PVC doors that opened onto the balconies
had to be manufactured with a double return
and z-shaped cills, which added a degree
of complexity. But our level of production
understanding is second to none.”
Increasing energy efficiency was one of the
key drivers of the refurbishment and the Optima
suite provided the solution needed. The products
are designed to deliver increased insulation and
weather protection, which makes them the
perfect choice for high-rise, exposed locations.
They are capable of achieving Window Energy
Ratings of A++ and U-values of 0.8 W/m2K.
Indicative performance measures are 600Pa
for air permeability, 600Pa for water tightness
and 2400Pa for wind resistance. The Profile
22 windows were fabricated to PAS24:2016
standards for security, helping to deliver
increased security to residents too.
Little London House and Wood House
have been transformed by the works, which
have enhanced the aesthetic appearance and
delivered greatly improved thermal efficiency.
Matt comments: “Everybody is really happy
with the results, including the client.” Richard
says: “These are two significant buildings on
the Walsall skyline and we are very proud of
our involvement in their transformation.”
