ANOTHER FIRST

Unique timber effect steel panel doors now available
Britain’s leading garage
door maker has just
launched its top-selling
steel garage doors in a
range of timber effect
finishes.
Garador’s ever popular Georgian, Beaumont and Cathedral
steel garage doors, with their
crisp and elegant panel profiles,
are now available in timber effect finishes to add a new look
to both traditional and modern
build designs.
All three designs will be
available in the full range of
standard and special size rang-
es. They are currently available
as powder-coated doors in a
choice of 17 standard colours,
but will also be introduced in
the two pre-coated steel finishes
of Golden Oak and Rosewood.
These timber effect doors offer
years of reliable, trouble-free
service and excellent value for
money.

Association of Composite
Door Manufacturers
welcomes Door-Stop
Door-Stop has been welcomed into the
Association of Composite Door Manufacturers (ACDM).
“As the UK’s favourite composite door manufacturer it was timely for us to join the body
representing the industry,” commented DoorStop’s Business Unit Director, Martin Dickie
(pictured).
The ACDM represents and promotes composite doors in new build and home improvement markets and works with technical and
consultation bodies involved in door performance standards in Britain and Europe.
“Members must have achieved PAS 23 and
PAS 24 for enhanced security and manufac-
ture to Kitemark BS 8529:2010, as well as
signing up to the ACDM’s voluntary Code of
Practice.
Martin adds: “Our parent company, Masonite
International Corporation, one of the world’s
leading door manufacturers, plays an active
part in developing the industry and raising
standards, so becoming part of the ACDM was
a natural expression of this policy.”
The ACDM is also a member of the Glass
and Glazing Federation (GGF) and the Construction Products Association (CPA).
