Along with an exciting redesign to the usual format, incorporating an inviting lifestyle feel, there are also some desirable new product ranges...

WoodTone

The WoodTone range of interior foil finish doors offers clean lines and a modern real wood appearance. The door faces are fully finished, durable and easy to clean. An advantage to the foil finish is that the doors are consistent in colour and shade, with easily matched, non fade faces to coordinate with flooring and furnishings. The range is available in oak, ash and beech finish and complimented by FD30 fire door and glazed options.


Wessex

The handsome Wessex range is supplied fully lacquer finished, enhancing the deep grain features of the natural oak appearance. Constructed from engineered timber components, feature panels are raised and fielded and set off by a planted perimeter bead section. Clear glazed bevel edge glass door options complete the package.
Premdor has also made additions to its popular Clear Pine and Somerset Oak ranges.


Shaker

New for April 2008 is the Shaker interior door. This range is available in two panel and half light glazed, with FD30 fire door options. Shaker incorporates smooth door faces primed in white, which are suitable for painting. The simple styling of this door is effective and refreshing and is ideal in a modern setting.

The new prices will be available to view or download from 19th March 2008 via the BMF E-xact website at
www.e-xact.net. The Premdor website will be updated from 1st April, when the prices are effective.

Premdor has once again decided to not send out Christmas cards, preferring to donate the money that would have been spent to the charity CRASH.

Premdor has once again decided to not send out Christmas cards, preferring to donate the money that would have been spent to the charity CRASH.

CRASH aims to help homelessness charities to improve their premises, facilities and accommodation provided for homeless people. CRASH brings together the expertise and help of professionals and companies from the UK construction and property industries to assist homelessness projects to reduce construction costs.

Premdor regards CRASH as an important charity to be associated with and have built up a relationship over the last few years.

The ’No Christmas Card Campaign’ in 2007 has so far raised over £89,000 for the homelessness charities. Premdor is proud to have supported this worthy campaign.

The Premdor range is permanently on display at the new Self Build and Renovation Centre in Swindon.

Following the success at the Centre in Livingston, Scotland, Premdor also has a stand at the brand new National Self Build and Renovation Centre in Swindon.

The Centre, which opened on 8th February 2007, exhibits all product areas within the self build market. On the Premdor stand you will find a wide range of new and established products from our diverse range of internal and external doors and timber windows.

Premdor has joined the Wood Window Alliance, an organisation that has come together to promote the benefits of timber windows.

For the first time ever, high quality wood window companies have come together to provide the UK market with a range of products and services that can be specified with confidence.

Wood windows are increasingly recognized as the best-looking, as well as the most sustainable, solution.

But it’s not always been the easiest industry to deal with. The sheer number of manufacturers, in many ways a strength, has led to a lack of common standards and information.

Being a member of the Wood Window Alliance means supplying windows which meet a set of quality standards that are independently audited.

The Wood Window Alliance provides you with the reassurance that windows carrying the mark are guaranteed to meet performance and sustainability standards.

Premdor is a proud supporter of CRASH and has helped out with it’s latest project.

The House of Genesis in Norwich asked for CRASH’s assistance to provide and install fire doors and an integrated fire alarm system for a five bedroom terrace house they purchased. This would mean the house would meet the ’House in Multiple Occupation, regulations. The house is a home for ex-homeless men and the development would ensure they lived in a much safer environment with better resources.

Premdor was happy to provide The House of Genesis with the internal fire doors required for the project.

The Alpha Design 24 range is now available with a clear engineered timber option, which offers an even higher specification window alternative.

PRESS RELEASE
OCTOBER 2006

PREMDOR CLEARLY ENGINEER THE DESIGN 24 RANGE

The Alpha Design 24 range is now available with a clear engineered timber option, which offers an even higher specification window alternative.

The 100% clear timber is supplied with a base coat honey finish, which allows for final finishing on site in either a stain or paint, with minimal site preparation, and provides an impressive high quality appearance.

The absence of large knots or other defective aspects stabilizes movement and eliminates factors such as resin bleed which can damage decorative coats, and accordingly reduce maintenance costs and frequency.

All engineered Timber used in the Alpha 24 range is supplied with full FSC accreditation, which ensures that the raw material is sourced from well managed and sustainable sources.

The use of selected laminated and finger jointed material enhances component strength and stability, without the need to increase the sectional dimensions of the components. It is also a key feature in meeting the intruder resistance requirements of the British Standards and Secured By Design criteria. Typically if the window is attacked the components will resist against the intrusion, but if split or damaged then the damage will be limited to a localised area.

Available now from Premdor distributors, further details can be found in the October 2006 Premdor Range Guide or by calling 0870 990 7998.

October 2006 sees the launch of the new Range Guide from Premdor, the UK’s leading door manufacturer. The Range Guide offers full details about current Premdor products and introduces many new developments and enhancements.
