Following a fantastic UK launch and FIT Show debut last year , Gerda residential front doors will be returning to Birmingham this year at stand P31 .

Gerda doors are popular throughout Europe for their high-spec security , which includes multi-point locks , three bolt main locks , anti-burglary vertical bolts , anti-theft pins and optional auxiliary locks for added security . For superior performance , Gerda ’ s uniquely constructed doors feature steel or aluminium skins mounted on a robust aluminium chassis with a PU foam core for excellent thermal insulation .

Partnering with Pioneer Trading , a UK doors and windows fabricator with over 30 years ’ experience , has allowed the premium household Polish brand to tailor its residential door range exclusively to suit British tastes in colours and designs as

well as meeting demanding new standards in anticipation of the tougher performance levels expected with the introduction of the Future Homes Standard .

Gerda doors offer an attractive , competitive and dependable alternative to existing conventional composite front doors in the UK market , providing homeowners with exceptional aesthetics , quality engineered build and superior security and thermal performance .

Gerda doors can be equipped to allow the beautifully-styled Tedee smartlock to automatically unlock and open the entrance door as the user approaches , with the door closing behind and re-locking itself once they have entered . It is believed to be the only door and smartlock combination in the market that can offer this function .
