NEW EXTERNAL DOORSET BROCHURE FROM JELD-WEN

11 Dec 2008
News
JELD-WEN, one of the UK’s leading door manufacturers, has released a new brochure demonstrating its extensive range of composite, timber and SecureFit™ apartment entrance doors.

The brochure contains details of JELD-WEN’s complete range of external doorsets, including all the latest styles and finishes and technical specifications, to suit customer needs.

Chris Miller, Product Manager for JELD-WEN, explains: “We have one of the most comprehensive ranges of doorsets on the market. All our doorsets offer great value and performance and are backed up by unrivalled technical assistance and customer service. We are expecting a high level of interest from both public and private sector specifiers, as well as contractors and developers.”

Renowned for their excellent thermal performance, JELD-WEN’s composite doorsets offer six times better insulation than other materials, as well as improved acoustic properties and enhanced protection from forced entry.

With the Code for Sustainable Homes now a requirement for social and private housing, it is more important than ever that windows and doors enable a housebuilder to maximise the thermal performance of their properties and composite materials are proving a highly effective method of achieving this.

JELD-WEN offers a complete range of composite doorsets, with a choice of 10 standard designs and seven finishes, in a choice of solid colours and wood stain finishes.

JELD-WEN’s range of enhanced security composite doorsets comply with PAS 23/24 resistance to attack and Secured by Design standards.

The door skins are scratch resistant and require no finishing, maintenance or repainting on site. All JELD-WEN’s composite doorsets are supplied with gold-effect handles, multi point security lock and adjustable keep.

The polyurethane core used on the manufacture of the composite doorsets is 100% CFC free which, bearing in mind these doors are much more efficient than other materials, makes it a very sound environmental choice.

For buyers looking to bring more light into a property, the Clifton Timber single doorset is already a favourite in the range. There is no need to compromise on security as these stunning doorsets are available to meet Secured by Design standards. They are also manufactured from engineered knot-free clear timber and comply with Building Regulations Part L. To enhance thermal performance, the Clifton doorset is factory fitted with 24mm clear Low E insulating glass units, which offer a very low U-value.

For anyone looking for stunning external timber doors with unique glazing designs, the Kensington doorset is a perfect choice. Sturdily built from high quality hardwood, these engineered 44mm doors create a striking impression on any home. The timber is Chain of Custody certified by the FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council), which ensures it originates from forests which are managed according to strict environmental standards.

Already extremely popular within JELD-WEN’s interior range, the Mackintosh-inspired timber doorset is perfect for providing that added luxury to a home. These stunning timber entrance doors feature luxurious cherry veneer and double glazed panels and would suit period and character homes.

The final set of popular doorsets contained within the brochure is the SecureFit™ doorsets, designed for flat entrance situations, where the highest standards of product performance are required. These doorsets comply with approved building document M,B,E and L.

They also meet the requirements of PAS 23/24 and Secured by Design standards, providing peace of mind for apartment owners and occupiers.

Chris Miller continues: “Choosing the correct type of external doorset is vitally important to ensure the security and thermal performance of a property. With this exciting new brochure, all the options are clearly explained, enabling buyers to make an informed choice,”
