DOORS&WINDOWS

Built to withstand the most
extreme weather conditions
Forward thinking door
manufacturer, Merseyside
based Vista, has launched a
new composite door designed
to protect UK homes from
extreme weather conditions
and the most forceful would-be
intruders.
XtremeDoor brings together
leading door components and is
arguably the highest specification
product of its kind on the market
today. This impressive new

product is backed by a new brand
and offers installers the chance to
really stand out in the competitive
composite door market.
Managing director Keith Sadler
discusses the new product in more
detail: “Demand for composite
doors has grown substantially
over the past few years and we
could see a gap in the market
for a high specification door
offering the very best in thermal
efficiency, security and aesthetics

DESIGN A DOOR
IN 60 SECONDS
Solidor has just launched
version 2 of the ‘Design a
Door’ module on its consumer
facing website at www.
solidor.co.uk, which enables
homeowners to design their
very own custom door in less
than 60 seconds. This new
technology was developed in
conjunction with software
developer, The Consultancy.

Throughout the process within
‘Design a Door’ consumers
can flip the image inside and
out, make an enquiry for a
Recommended or Premium
Installer, or start over again.
Once a satisfactory design has
been created then this can be
e-mailed back to the consumer
for review.

‘Packed with
features and colours
like no other’

Given the fact that Solidor’s
solid core composite doors
are packed with features and
colours like no other, the new
version 2 development is easy
to use, is highly impressive and
another important tool in which
to engage with consumers.
It’s another great electronic
solution, along with the Door
Designer App for iPhone and
iPad.

Gareth Mobley, managing
director of Solidor Group
comments: ‘Much like you can
create a new car in real time,
so you can now benefit from
the same technologies for our
second generation composite
doors with version 2 of ‘Design
a Door.’

– and so set about developing
XtremeDoor.
“We called the product
XtremeDoor because, as the
name suggests, it does everything
to the extreme. For instance the
door has a five point lock, it has a
triple sealed outerframe and some
styles can achieve an incredibly
low U-Value of 0.8 W/m²K.
XtremeDoor genuinely stands
head and shoulders above other
composite doors on the market

today and means installers can
sell an added value product rather
than competing on price.”
