PROUD SPONSOR OF DOORS & WINDOWS
DOORS&WINDOWS
Smooth, Stylish, Solid
» » FOLLOWING A HIGHLY
successful reveal at the 2019 FIT Show, Apeer
has now officially launched its contemporary,
Silka smooth skin composite door range,
which now includes a stylish solid version
that has been introduced following high
demand from customers.
The Silka range, which is manufactured to
the same exacting standards as Apeer’s other
market leading door and window products
at its state-of-the art facility in Ballymena,
Northern Ireland, is a collection of modern,
smooth skin doors that comes with a
choice of high-quality hardware and design
options. Boasting the premium aesthetics
of aluminium entrance doors, but at a more
competitive price point, the Silka Collection
will appeal to today’s increasingly style
conscious consumers who want premium,
design led products for their homes, and
also matches perfectly with Apeer’s award-
winning ‘frameless’ Lumi window system,
especially when specified with the ‘all glass’
trim option.
Apeer’s marketing manager, Linda Tomb,
commented: “We had a fantastic response
to the initial unveiling of the Silka range at
the 2019 FIT Show, and the feedback we’ve
had since then from customers has also been
overwhelmingly positive. Over the summer
months we’ve responded to increased demand
for a solid version to be added to the Silka
collection, and we’re proud to announce that
this option is now available and ready to
order.”
The range, which is also available to
order through Apeer’s online configurator,
Doorbuilder, is comprised of eight door styles
with a choice of six stainless steel, and two
all glass glazing trims – unique to the Silka
collection – plus four further bespoke design
options that feature distinctive horizontal
lines. Available in anthracite grey, light grey,
black and cream, customers can also choose
from black or anthracite grey should they
specify the horizontal lines option, with white
available as an option for the inside facing
leaf.
Linda concluded: “The demand for
premium and contemporary window and door
products continues to grow and with the new
Silka collection, our existing and potential new
customers are perfectly equipped to respond.
Silka has the look and feel of a more expensive
aluminium door, without the premium price
tag, and is combined with the market leading
thermal efficiency, security and design features
that have become the hallmarks of all our
doors at Apeer.”
