Door gets a thumbs up down under
»»
NORTHERN IRELAND based manufacturer of market leading composites , Apeer , has shown that it has true international appeal thanks to a recent installation of one of its contemporary MODO doors and matching sidelight ‘ Down Under ’, in New South Wales .
The company , which has been at the cutting edge of composite door design since it launched its first doorset back in 2003 , has had its products fitted to homes the length and breadth of the
United Kingdom over the years – and has now shown that it has the credentials to attract customers from as far afield as Australia .
ENERGY EFFICIENT
Apeer ’ s Marketing Manager , Linda Tomb , said : “ The homeowner , who lives in Mittagong , NSW , was building his house to German Passivhaus standards so choosing an energy efficient entrance door was obviously an extremely important part of the project .
“ After researching a variety of options online , the homeowner eventually contacted us directly with his requirements ,” continued Linda . “ He wanted a modern style door with outstanding thermal properties and liked the stainless steel effect on our MODO doors .”
Apeer ’ s MODO doors feature a double rebated system for additional draft protection , toughened , 60mm thick triple glazing and ‘ A ’ rated energy efficiency as standard .
