Updates
Endurance Doors has extended its range of solid timber core composite door colours and
finishes to 19, with the introduction of Brilliant Blue and Sage.
Endurance says the introduction of Brilliant Blue reflects the anticipated trend towards blue as the next ‘invogue’
colour, which has been identified by many influential interior design and paint specialists over the last
12 months, including Dulux and Pantone. According to sampleboard.com, ‘the colour blue is evocative of the
sea and the sky. It brings together the deepest depths of the ocean with the lightness of the seventh cloud. It
stands for integrity, power, tranquillity and health, and is considered as beneficial to the mind and body.’
Described by Endurance as an olive-grey toned ‘nod to heritage and the Country Collection’, Sage is said
to be ‘an elegant green sitting midway between Chartwell Green for a bolder statement and the much paler
Pearl Grey for a lighter appearance’. endurancedoors.co.uk

MORE COLOURS WITH 'BRILLIANT BLUE' AND 'SAGE'
Glazed extension merchant, Abcell, says it is ‘helping installers make home improvement
dreams come true’ with the launch of Truedor composite doors.
This follows the successful launches of PVC-U windows and doors and Ultraframe garden
room kits to make Abcell ‘the one-stop shop for windows, doors and glazing products’.
Truedor composite doors come in four different ranges – Traditional, Harmony, Cottage and
Contemporary – so installers can offer doors which suit all property types, as well as offering
high thermal insulation qualities and security. Neville Gleed, operations director at Abcell,
said: “We added Truedor to our range for the wide selection of designs and high-quality
performance.” www.abcell.co.uk
VBH AND GARNALEX COLLABORATE ON SHEERLINE
Hardware specialist, VBH, has been working with aluminium systems house, Garnalex, to
develop the hardware for the new Sheerline bi-fold door.
The new bi-fold allows up to a seven pane configuration, the choice outward or inward opening, and
offers four different threshold combinations. With doors measuring up to 6.5m wide x 2.6m high and
possibly triple glazed, Garnalex’s choice of hardware had to be sufficiently strong and hard wearing to
cope with large, heavy sashes. VBH’s greenteQ design team worked closely with Garnalex to achieve
the greenteQ Clearspan hardware system for Sheerline with a weight capacity of 120Kg per sash.
According to VBH, Clearspan for Sheerline is designed ‘with everyone in the supply chain in mind’; it
is ‘quick and easy to put together’ with ‘ample adjustment’ for installers. www.vbhgb.com
ENDURANCE GOES 'ULTRA-PREMIUM'
Endurance Doors has launched the ‘ultra-premium’ Avantal composite door, which, the company says ‘boasts
all the features and appearance of a powdercoated aluminium door’ alongside the proven solid timber core
chassis from its bespoke door offering.
The door is aimed at the contemporary and urban market thanks to the introduction of Ultra-matt Black, Anthracite Grey
and Signal Grey finishes, along with the woodgrain inspirations of Anteak and Rustic Cherry. The edgebanding also benefits
from a textured finish, with all options enjoying an ultra-matt, premium white internal finish, while the door frames have
been laminated for a perfect match. All Avantal doors will also feature a new flush-mounted, matching glazing cassette
system, as well as Endurance’s unique moisture barrier system and its successful three-step ‘wet glazing process’ to the
glazing apertures. endurancedoors.co.uk
