SOS with FIS
» » AFTER BEING INVOLVED
in several successful DIY SOS
projects over the years, Solidor
recently launched Solidor SOS
– The Grand Entrance, which
was a social media campaign
asking consumers to nominate
someone for a new entrance
door.
There was one particular
nomination that stood out for
Mr & Mrs Dellar and their
son who suffers from Dravet
Syndrome, a form of paediatric
epilepsy and Autism Spectrum
Disorder. Solidor partner FIS
Windows put forward their
name as they were already
working on an existing DIY SOS
project with them through local
charity GeeWizz, by providing
windows and a French doorset to
their home in Ipswich.
The existing PVCu panelled
front door to their home had
a faulty handle and cylinder
while the door itself was narrow
and had cracked due to the
wheelchair access requirement.
Solidor supplied FIS Windows
with a wider door combination
from the Italia Collection in
lavender from the new Pastel
Range, complete with full
length Karcher handle for ease
of access, along with a low
threshold for better access.
Tracy Garwood, marketing
manager of FIS Windows was
involved in most of the project
including the nomination and
commented: ‘We were already
working with Mr & Mrs Dellar
through the GeeWizz charity
which is focussed on providing
specialist equipment to children
and young adults up to the
age of 21, living in Suffolk and
Norfolk with a disability. So,
the nomination to Solidor was
obviou
