New Door Designer App

‘visualise their
new composite
or PVC-U
panel door’

»»Phoenix Doors,
part of the MASCO UK Window
Group Ltd, has launched a
new Door Designer App for its
customers to use as an effective
selling tool in the home.
The App enables consumers
to visualise what their new
composite or PVC-U panel door
will look like when fitted in their
homes.
Having downloaded the App,
it allows installers to design an
entrance door for homeowners
using their iPads and then

superimpose it onto a photo of
their house, having first taken a
photo of the customer’s existing
front door.
The full range of Phoenix
Doors’ door styles, colours,
finishes and glazing options can
then be selected and dropped
into the picture, providing a true
representation of the purchaser’s
desired product.
“It’s a great practical sales aid
for our customers and is already
proving very popular, judging by
the response we’ve had so far,”

says Haydon Statham, Phoenix
Sales Director. “It’s free to all
Phoenix Doors customers who
request it and is very easy-touse.”

of the following styles: Six Panel
Solid; Twin Vertical; Twin Top;
Twin Top with Mid Panel; Half
Glazed; Full Glazed or Four
Glazed (twin and bottom).

versatile and drastically cuts the

Dan Sullivan, explained:
“The 6/4 Combi brings
together seven of the most
popular styles while taking up
less space, tying up less money
and simplifying orde
