One of the most exciting developments to happen to composite doors in a decade has been launched by Apeer with 12 cutting edge new designs.
The Modern Door (MODO) collection from Apeer is a design-led portfolio of contemporary new doors, developed and fully manufactured at Apeer’s state-of-the-art production facility at Ballymena in Northern Ireland.
The launch comes 10 years on from production of the company’s first composite doorset in 2003. In the decade since then, Apeer has become widely regarded as the most advanced door entrance system on the market.
Capitalising on the company’s comprehensive in-house manufacturing capability, including its own glass studio, the new MODO collection features all the security, durability and energy efficiency associated with Apeer Doors.
Said Apeer md Asa McGillian: “What we are doing is different to anything out there and having our own manufacturing facility allows Apeer to be one of the most flexible and innovative brands in the business.”
The new range is being made to the same high spec as all Apeer 70 doors and comes with the usual 10-year structural guarantee and full choice of standard, premium, heritage and bespoke colours.
Stainless steel glazing trims not only give the new MODO collection a truly contemporary edge but further enhance already formidable levels of security. Other features of the MODO collection include:
• Toughened, 60mm thick warm edge, triple glazed units as standard
• Double rebate system with inner fibreglass frame
• Kitemark cylinder, multi-point locking system and steel dog bolts
• Timber effect fibreglass door leaf for hassle-free maintenance
• All designs are available in extra wide 1100mm size
The understated and sleek designs of the doors themselves are enhanced by a choice of modern glass artwork with the fused tiles, bevels and sandblasted glass designs all created by hand at Apeer’s in-house glass studio. A further benefit is that all Apeer entrance system glass will carry the BSI Kitemark from May 1.
As manufacturers of fully-bespoke entrance systems, Apeer’s advanced design-and-order software, Doorbuilder, has become an invaluable selling tool for fabricators and installers and is being fully updated.
In 2011 Apeer set a new standard in construction with the first ever all-glass reinforced plastic (GRP) composite doorset with an all-GRP inner sash, replacing the UPVC sash with fibre glass. Apeer 70 doors have also been officially recognised as ‘Energy A Rated’.
