20 | NOVEMBER 2019 News Read online at www.proinstaller.co.uk INSTAGRAM QUEEN ‘LIKES’ VIRTUOSO DOOR When Instagram cleaning sensation Lindsay Turford – known as dazlincleaning – needed to upgrade the front and back doors at her home in Worcester- shire, she naturally wanted the new ones to bring a touch of spar- kle. And Lindsay was so impressed when she saw the collection of composite doors from Virtuoso Doors that she knew she’d finally found the perfect doors for her three-bedroom home. “We’ve lived in the house for 12 years now and the original timber doors were past it. It was time for a change, but I’m notoriously choosy and didn’t want to pick the wrong doors,” says Lindsay. “I’d been sharing my story on social media and heard about the composite doors from Virtuoso Doors.” Lindsay immediately placed an order for a new front and back door – the Kingston A2 cottage style composite door in Pebble, which is a Virtuoso superior col- our, for the front and Virtuoso’s Crafton composite door in white for the back. She shared her story on Instagram and attracted more than 11,000 views from follow- ers when the doors were installed. “My followers love to hear all about my cleaning hacks and tips for the home and they were really enthusiastic when I did the big reveal of my new Virtuoso doors. The doors are superb looking and they have made a huge difference to my home. We wanted our doors to offer greater performance and security and you can tell by the quality of these doors that they will do just that.” www.virtuoso-doors.co.uk FOUR-TIME FINALIST LOOKS FORWARD TO STAR NIGHT Epwin Window Sys- GLADIATOR ARE YOU READY? To ensure it stays at the top of the market, Endurance is always putting their doors to the test. Who better to try them out than James Crossley? Or, as those of us who lived through the 90s know him, Hunter from Gladiators. Hunter features in the latest creation produced by Endurance’s winning marketing team. In this video, he is put up against three contenders: a uPVC door, a GRP foam-filled composite door and an Endurance solid core com- posite door. The video shows Hunt- er make light work of the uPVC and GRP doors, smashing through them with ease. However, the Endurance door proves a greater challenge and more than a match for the gladia- tor. Despite his best efforts, the Endurance door stays solid and secure. As if one victory wasn’t enough, Endurance put their door to the test again. In the second half of the video, Hunter is joined by back-up to try the Endur- ance Challenge. Even with three minutes each and a sledgehammer, none of these tough guys can break down their door. It’s no surprise that En- durance composite doors can defeat all challengers, considering the iconic, 48mm solid timber core. This unique design makes Endurance doors up to 10% thicker than most of their composite contenders. Com- pared to uPVC or GRP al- ternatives, Endurance doors are in another league. Members of Endurance’s Installer Network can use this promotional video for their marketing. It joins the rest of the fantastic materi- als available for use, which are all part of Endurance’s commitment to helping their installers grow their sales.
