Pro Installer Guide to All Doors - Issue 01 | Page 12

A Nu-Era New Wave Door specialist manufacturer, Nu-Era Doors is a relatively new company which has established its place in the marketplace as a specialist in the manufacturer of the uniquely designed slide and Swing door system. Neil Dattini, talks to Pro Installer about how the business has become a New Wave Door specialist manufacturer, enabling them to offer trades people select and useful installation techniques. The company was formed a year and a half ago by Neil and his business partner Suki Sohal. A perfect partnership, Neil previously had a successful sales career working for the Epwin Group, while Suki had over nine years experience in manufacturing operations in the family business, Hi-Spec Supplies. Neil comments: “We came together by chance. I was looking for a new venture and Suki was working for his father at the time’. “We wanted to adopt a product from which we could dedicate all our efforts and become a manufacturing specialist. The New Wave Slide and Swing door system was a new entry to the market at the time and was proving to be a success among consumers.” Released by Deceuninck in July 2014, the New Wave Slide & Swing Door is a new-generation multi-pane patio door which enables homeowners to maximise their living space, opening up the space between the home and the conservatory or garden. Unlike bi-folding doors, the New Wave Slide & Swing system does not encroach on internal living room or patio space when opening or closing, allowing the end-user to be able to open any part of the door for ventilation or access. When closed, the doors interlock together creating a solid wall that is extremely secure and far more secure than a conventional bi-folding door. Neil added: “The New Wave Slide & Swing door system stands out from other systems in the industry; with seamless sightlines and no protruding hardware it is easy to operate and secure. The system boasts a Kitemark accredited lock making it one of the securest systems on the market. It also has an excellent thermal weatherproof performance. 12 SUMMER ‘15 A Pro Installer Guide to All Doors “Maximum door height is 2200mm and we can do various width sizes from 1200mm as a two pane door up to a six pane door with a 5500mm opening. The system boasts a patented design - Magnaline™ slide and stack technology that gives it a distinct diversity of style and design.” Neil adds. Since being established in May 2014, Nu-Era Doors has successfully grown along with its workforce, with further staff being recruited this month (July), the manufacturer is showing no signs of slowing down, doubling the amount of doors ordered from the same time last year. Nu-Era Doors intend to expand the New Wave range to patio doors this month and as a sole manufacturer of the door system. Since starting the company, Neil and Suki have been able to guide and offer advice in many ways to installers of the doors, all gained from talking and collating information from other customers. Neil explains: “Although transportation and installation is fast and uncomplicated, the Nu-Era Doors team want to help installers as much as possible, ensuring customer satisfaction remains high. “We don’t dismiss any issues as it is in our interests for the door to be fitted and work well. The more installers can learn from us the better. That’s why we always want to hear feedback from our customers. We want tradespeople to be able to learn from each other’s experiences so we invite feedback that we can then give to our new and existing customers to help them fit the product right.” Neil adds.
