All Doors
Three more years for successful
supplier partnership
» IG DOORS IN BLACKWOOD, SOUTH
Wales, is one of the market leaders in the new
build and social housing refurbishment sectors.
IG Doors’ success is based on a partnership
approach to working with its customers.
The company seeks the same commitment
to excellence from its supply partners. And
because it’s just signed a three-year supply
agreement to take its partnership with Spectus
to 23 years, it’s clear that Spectus is delivering
above and beyond for the company.
Rhys Davies of IG Doors said: “We choose
our supply partners very carefully – our
reputation depends on getting it right. We
continue to work with Spectus because the
product quality and service is superb.”
IG Doors has been established for over 35
years and today manufactures around 3000
doors a week. It has the resources, flexibility
and organisational structure to cope with the
requirements of major national house builders
and developers, local authorities and social
housing landlords. IG Doors buys the Elite 70
bevelled door outerframe from Spectus. It uses
the outerframe with its GRP composite doors,
which is a key product line for the company.

ENDURING THE BATTLE AGAINST WATER INGRESS
» WATER INGRESS HAS HAMPERED
the composite door sector in the past and
it has been several years since Endurance
incorporated a unique Moisture Barrier
Systems (MBS) to the bottom of their door
slabs. But the recent introduction of a new
glass sealing process adds further credence to
the claim that Endurance Doors have become
the #KingOfComposites.
The first stage in the glass sealing process
involves the bonding of the two inner glazing
cassettes and glass unit to the Endurance door
slab, using the pre-inserted black double-
sided tape. The new additional stage in this
important process introduces the wet sealing
of the external cassettes, with the application
of a silicone bead to the inner and outer
channels of the external cassette, before they
are both pushed together on the slab, excess
then wiped clean prior to being screwed
together.
This additional application of silicone
has had a positive effect on the number of
customer concerns. All of the operational
efforts over the last 18 months in terms of
adopting a quality culture and this and other
new processes, have seen customer product
issues nearly completely eliminated.

design. We know our new glass
range will add further value
to our door offering and help

design.”
The door glass range is available
in either double or triple glazed
options, with all glass units are
made with toughened glass (up to
five times stronger than ordinary
annealed glass and complies with
EN12150), or the glass can be
supplied with an upgrade option;
of the outer pane of toughened
glass being replaced with a
6.8mm laminated glass.
Furthermore, all sealed units
are manufactured to BS EN1279,
a standard that guarantees the
quality of components and most
importantly the seal, which comes
with a manufacturer’s 10 year-
warranty.
