A Company to trust,
now and in the future
»» Phoenix Doors
recently unveiled its new,
high performance 70mm
rebated composite
door range, ‘Meridian’.
Haydon Stantham
sales director tells
Clearview how
proud the company
is of its latest new range and how
the product will benefit users.
“We are extremely proud of the newest,
premium addition to our comprehensive
composite door range. The Meridian is a truly
niche product for discerning homeowners,
which in turn, creates exciting market
opportunities for our customers,” says
Haydon, “With outstanding performance in all
areas, the Meridian door ticks all the boxes for
installers and consumers alike.
“The 70mm double-rebated door with triple
weatherseals and 50mm triple-glazing delivers
outstanding weather, energy and acoustic
performance, offers the highest specifications
in security and A-rated thermal-efficiency and
is also manufactured to achieve Secured by
Design as standard.
“We took the name for the range from
the Meridian Wood, which is located next to
our manufacturing facility at Bluntisham and
introduced a new slogan, promoting it as a
‘Doorway to a greener future’.
“With both sustainability and efficiency
in mind, we designed the Meridian door to
champion the natural environment and use
the latest modern materials and manufacturing
techniques, giving the door a U-value as low as
1.0W/(m2K).
“To further underpin the Meridian door’s
credentials we have tested the products to
show that it achieves 19% more thermallyefficiency than a 48mm solid timber core
composite door and 17% more thermallyefficient than a 44mm traditional timber
panelled door.
“Part of our commitment to the
environment and sustainability, Phoenix Doors
has pledged its on-going support of the
Meridian Wood through the Woodland Trust
and we have sponsored a tree-planting scheme
at the site to help ‘preserve and protect’ its
future and allow generation after generation to
enjoy the trust land.

“Alongside a broadening choice for
customers, the Meridian door has the added
benefit of ease of installation. Because doublerebate doors are easier to install and adjust on
site compared to single-rebate doors, fitters
will also love them. The double rebate allows
for greater tolerances in movement between
the door leaf and frame during installation
– similar to installing a PVCu panel door.”
Haydon adds.
The Meridian range delivers versatility and
choice including nine styles, all named after
tree types and features both traditional and
contemporary designs with five brand new and
exclusive glazing options.
Available in a palette of stylish new heritage
colour finishes including French Grey, Duck
Egg and Chartwell Green, plus bright solid
colours like ‘Very Berry’ – the range has
been designed to support installers and meet
current consumer demand, whilst helping to
create valuable new business opportunities for
Phoenix customers.
Furthermore, with the recent launch of
Phoenix’s in-house paint spraying facility,
catering for any specified RAL colour means
that the personalisation options of Meridian
are virtually limitless.
Haydon adds: “This is an important, elegant
and market-leading addition to our GRP
composite door range that we predict will
make a positive impact with our customers
and provide the broadest product range
available today in the UK composite door
market.
“To support the official launch, we have
produced a premium consumer brochure
printed on environmentally-sustainable
FSC® paper, dedicated Meridian point-of-sale
material and a fully-responsive consumer
website.”Haydon concludes.
The launch comes at an exciting time for
Phoenix Doors, which will also be launching a
new website to showcase its entire composite
and PVCu panel door range, in conjunction
with an innovative online ordering system.
