GEMINI - ANOTHER STAR SIGN FOR SOLIDOR
Gemini UPVC Ltd is the latest
trade fabricator to introduce
Solidor’s range of composite
doors to its product range.
Serving the busy North West
Gemini UPVC is positioned at
the quality end of the industry
as a long-term VEKA customer
and Network VEKA member.
The decision to adopt the Solidor
composite door was an easy one,
based on product quality and
outstanding key features.
Within a dedicated showroom
area, Gemini UPVC has installed
two back to back and distinctive
Solidor composite doors. The
first is a Modena design from the
Italia Collection in the exclusive
Duck Egg Blue colour featuring
Karcher hardware and a key only
security lock. The second door
also from Italia is the Roma design
in Chartwell Green with antique
hardware, including a handmade
black ring knocker.
Paul Griffiths, Gemini UPVC
director, comments: ‘It’s important
for us to offer quality products
with exceptional levels of service
as our membership of Network
VEKA testifies. We believe the
Solidor composite door range is by
far the best on the market and so
do our customers.’
