Phil continues: “The new door has been exclusively designed by Hallmark. Working alongside our door slab manufacturer, we wanted to produce a composite door which was unique to us and allowed us to offer our customers something different. “Utilising WHS Halo 70mm Chamfered and Rustique reinforced outer frames, the overall appearance of the door and frame is less-obtrusive and being able to offer colour banded edges enables us to offer any RAL colour, a definite must in today’s market.” The Elite 44mm composite doors are offered in a choice of seven standard colours, with the option of colour matching to an array of RAL colour choices. Fitted with the latest state-of theart, high security multipoint lock and cylinder, the door has been given Secured by Design status after conforming to PAS24/23 part 1. Other hardware benefits include high quality, three-way adjustable security hinges and a slam-shut heritage lock for further visual enhancement, requiring no external hardware. “The new 44mm single rebate door range needed to hold all the qualities and choices of our current 68mm twin rebated door range. So, we set about developing a comprehensive package which would incorporate; French doors, side and top lights, cottage and stable door options, a complete solution. “We work with a number of large fabricators, nationally and it is important to us that we have a full product range, suitable to cover all the requirements of their customer’s individual needs. Each customer is different and Hallmark has the ability to provide uniqueness from our product range for their requirements. “Whether it is the glass or door design or a twin or single rebated system, we set about ensuring the customer’s requirements are met.” concludes Phil.
