Endurance Outlines Environmental Performance Credentials
With the new building regulations coming into force in June this year , Endurance Doors have confirmed that their engineered timber door platform complies with the new legislation , assuring continued strong growth through their Installer Partner network .
The specification of a laminated timber core is the cornerstone of an Endurance Door that ’ s bolstered using PVCu CoolSkin door skins , a wet glazing process and the unique Moisture Barrier System , among other strong USP ’ s . It is a product proposition that has evolved over the years and the company continues to invest in product innovation as the latest ultra-premium Avantal door shows .
Stephen Nadin , Managing Director of Endurance Doors commented : “ The new changes to Approved Document L building regulations do not affect Endurance Doors as we are categorised as a timber door manufacturer . Yet at the same time we have a product development programme in place that is designed to meet the needs of any future legislation and further reduce our impact on the environment , thanks to our strong partnership with Metsa Wood and Rehau , among other business partners .” Since 2004 , Endurance Doors have aspired to be market leaders in reliability and best value . Their environmental credentials are strong given the fact the engineered timber door leaf is a carbon sink , sourced from renewable forests within Europe and that the slab and frame are recyclable at the end of their useful life . However , Endurance is actively developing their door proposition to exceed future long term environmental as well as building regulatory standards .

CHAMPIONING TEAMWORK AT WORK AND ‘ PLAY ’
Oakland Glass has become an official sponsor of Batley Boys ARLFC . And , while the Dewsbury glass manufacturer ’ s home rugby league team is the Rams , they have a special connection to Batley Boys through its Centre , Tom Ripley . Tom has played for the team for four years , but when not on the pitch he works at Oakland Glass as a production operative .
Oakland Glass ’ joint MD Amanda Falsey commented : “ Yorkshire is well known for its love of rugby and when the opportunity arose to sponsor Tom and his team , we jumped on it . As well as keeping us fit , exercise is great for mental health and well-being , while the camaraderie of being on a team fosters better relationships , both in a personal and professional capacity .
“ At Oakland , we are constantly striving to offer the best support to our staff and help them support each other . This is very similar to how coaches motivate players in team sports . The ultimate goal for any business should be to keep their employees happy ; as it ’ s no secret that happy staff work better , stay in their roles for longer and build a strong brand from the inside out .
“ Being in a position to help a local , amateur team flourish with some financial support is a win-win .”
Batley Boys ’ ARLFC ’ s season kicked off at the beginning of March with a 22-0 victory over Millom . Good luck to Tom and the team for the rest of the season .

TOTAL HARDWARE SUPPORTS CUSTOMERS WITH PART F CHANGES
With the changes to Part F of Building Regulations coming into force in June , leading hardware supplier Total Hardware is already helping its customers get ready for the transition .
Chris Pell , General Manager at Total Hardware , said : “ The new regulations mean two big changes for the industry . Fortunately , we ’ re well-prepared for the change and already hold stock of compliant products from both Glazpart and R W Simon to help our customers with the transition .
“ It ’ s estimated that 30 % of windows have trickle vents fitted at the moment . After 15 June 2022 , this will increase to over 95 %. Obviously , that means greater stocks will be needed across the industry . We ’ re ready for this so our customers can be ready for the transition .
“ The requirement for ventilation is much bigger than it used to be because there ’ s a recognition that there ’ s a clear link between good ventilation and good health . It means that not all the vents currently on the market will meet the new requirements . However , products from both Glazpart and R W Simon are ready for the change and we have the products our customers need .”
Total Hardware has built strong relationships with some of the leading worldwide hardware manufacturers . It expanded its premises by 20 % last year , which means it can hold greater stock levels to support its customers ’ businesses . And it offers a comprehensive range of products across all price points , including its own bespoke hardware ranges , as well as Part-F compliant options . www . totalhardwareltd . co . uk
