Adding More Composite Doors To The Range

Filed under: General — admin @ 12:54 pm

As if a few billion designs were not enouigh, Global have now added another 5 doors to its range to keep in tune with trends and fashions. These extra 5 composite doors add many combinations to consumer choices, when you consider the different glass designs available for each door and the 7 colour variations, the only downside is that these new doors are not available in wood grain.

The new % door designs are

  • Cottage  Half Glaze Composite Door
  • Circle Composite Door
  • Twin Side Composite Door
  • 4 Square Composite Door
  • 3 Square Composite Door

As if this was enouigh Global Door have gone one stage further and intriduced composite side panels to match the range of composite doors. This may seem an obvious announcement, but in the past all side panels were made as a uPVC door and even though would match in terms of how it looked, the older side panals did not have teh same insulation or strength properties a composite side panel does.

Now you can oder composite side panels at he same time as you door, knowing they will math in appearance and manufacturing properties, giving your decades of usage, though the worst of weather.

Spraying A Front Door

Filed under: repairing — admin @ 12:00 pm

Many modern front doors are now spayed rather than the traditional paint and brush method, especially during the manufacturing process say on composite doors. But occassionaly specialists get asked ot spray existing doors beacause the cutomomer prefers the finiah and wants a certain durability.

This is a video of that process, a company being asked to spray front doors on behalf of their customers. The key is the refinishing process, obviously the door needs to look good and have the type fop finish associated with the spray process rather than the paint and brush. Of course the downside, is the door needs to be reoved and sprayed in a booth, where nornally a front door would be painted on site.

One reason for metal doors in the States is the heat issues. Wood tends to warp anf UPVC  tends to afde, something that modern composite doors are more hardy to deal with. Anyway for now lets look at how they convert a metal door to look like a wooden on in the States.
