PERFECT PALETTE OF PASTELS
»»
SOLIDOR’ S CONTINUED range development has resulted in the introduction of a new Pastel Range of colours that consists of Twilight Grey, Lavender and Cobalt Blue, along with the launch of two new door designs, namely the Stirling and Trieste. The through colour Pastel Range is a new development from Solidor, increasing the number of finishes and colours inside and out to 23. The new colours of Twilight Grey, Lavender and Cobalt Blue can be specified on any Solidor composite door design and are featured on the Door Designer and on Solidor Cloud 2.0. This enables trade partners to order at the point of sale 24 / 7, 365 days a year.
The Stirling is the latest composite door design from Solidor, inspired from the 1930’ s with a distinctive new square
glazing cassette which also features on the new Triste, which is an addition to the popular Italia Collection that was launched back in 2009. Like the Pastel Range, these two new doors also feature online for consumers and the trade, for what has become one of the most exciting product ranges in the composite door sector. Gareth Busson, head of sales and marketing at Solidor Group commented:“ The new Pastel Range is an important introduction for us and helps sets us apart as a brand, while enticing consumers with the latest colour trends. At the same time, we’ re launching two new door designs on the back of a new square glazing cassette, ultimately giving our customers greater design choice.”
He continued:“ With all of these new developments now on the Door Designer and on Solidor Cloud 2.0, there’ s also the reassurance that we can deliver these new specifications with consistent world-class OTIF levels of 99 %.”

How to endure‘ Silly Season’
»»
AS THE STARTING PISTOL sounds, and Silly Season begins, many installers and fabricators across the nation will be rallying their troops to meet the demands and expectations of panicked homeowners looking to bring a new addition to their home before Christmas comes around. With preparation a key factor in holding up under the strain, Endurance has been busy over the preceding months.
The ideal way to cool a demanding, impatient customer is to offer them a short installation time. Easier said than done, installers and fabricators can only achieve this when their supplier has the capability to accommodate their requests. Endurance Doors, leaders in the composite door market, have invested in strengthening their offering when it comes to its Installer Network.
The first venture to help Endurance increase the quality of service was to expand its fleet. This allows delivery of 50 composite doors in a single delivery, a notable improvement on the initial 15 door offering.
To ensure the smooth transition, Endurance also invested in an increased number of dedicated drivers who use vehicle tracking to ensure delivery times are monitored in real time.
The next step was then to increase the amount of professional service engineers in operation. This helps customers to protect their time, which becomes especially precious during this time of year. With a bigger team of service engineers helping out,
Endurance Installers can spend more time on selling and fitting.
These two factors, alongside the fact that Endurance is able to deliver weekly throughout England and Wales, are imperative when it comes to helping their Preferred Installer Network endure Silly Season. Members of this network will be able to enjoy the benefits of fast lead times, reduced aftersales, professional customer support and a unique degree of product quality.
Stephen Nadin, Managing Director of Rocal, commented on Endurance and Silly Season:“ At Endurance, our sales have grown by over 20 % this year so far. We’ re expecting a very busy Autumn, which we will accommodate by continuing to invest in our business to ensure our customers reap the benefits of our growth along with us.”
