Doors

Simplicity in design is often thought to be the secret to creating timeless fashions and one way to achieve that desired blank canvas, is by using flush white doors.  This opportunity to rejuvenate and add a fresh clean look to interiors has now been given new impetus and inspiration with the introduction of the White Collection from Vicaima, a selection of quality interior doors for home, hospitality and commercial projects.

Introducing Primed 2 Go from Vicaima, saving valuable time and costs on site with a revolutionary new surface finish.  With its specially developed ultra-smooth surface, Primed 2 Go allows you to just wipe the face clean and paint without the need for time consuming sanding or priming on site. All doors are manufactured to Vicaima’s superior construction with timber lippings and softwood rails. Fire performance options are also available.  Why sand and prime a door when you can use Primed 2 Go.

Specifications designed to deliver windows and doors that stand the test of time with little or no maintenance are being routinely undermined because fasteners are being overlooked or simply left to chance, according to fenestration fastener specialist Rapierstar.

Rapierstar fasteners are helping specifiers and maintenance managers to ensure quality, performance and delivery reliability in their window and door upgrading and new build programmes to achieve the highest tenant satisfaction ratings.
Despite their small size, fasteners play a huge role in the way a window or door operates and retains its robustness and structural integrity over its service life. This is why it is vital to specify the correct types of fasteners and make sure their supply chain partner can be trusted to provide the right solutions for every project.
