A colourful proposition

Trade Frames
Shropshire-based
Art Deco Glass
Inspiration For Solidor
At the same time as launching the
new handmade Jo Downs Glass
Collection, Solidor are also adding
a new and exclusive Art Deco
glass range that’s been inspired
by the architectural influences
of the early 20th Century.
This new glass range
will provide trade partners
with a genuine point of
differentiation, something
that will also resonate with
style conscious consumers
looking for a unique new
entrance door. There are
four different glass designs
in this new range, namely
Fairmount, Paramount, Tate
and Wiltern that are availa-
ble in the Flint 4, Ludlow 2
and Beeston door designs
from Solidor.
There is also a further
glass design which is a
combination of an Art
Deco unit with Jo Downs
handmade tiles fitted, called
‘Vogue’. All the new glass
options and ranges can be
viewed on the Door Design-
er and are also available
through the online ordering
portal of Solidor Cloud 2.0,
which now offers order
tracking.
Gareth Busson, head of
sales and marketing for
Solidor Group commented:
“At the same time as the
launch of our Jo Downs
Collection we’ve also intro-
duced an Art Deco range
of glass options which we
have designed in house
and, as a result, are Solidor
exclusives. We continue to
invest in new products that
further set us apart and also
in the way in which we pro-
mote the Solidor brand.”
trade fabricator Univer-
sal Trade Frames offers
a comprehensive range
of coloured products. As
homeowners become more
adventurous with colour,
the demand for Universals’
coloured products has in-
creased throughout 2018.
The most popular colour
options witnessed by
Universal during 2018 are
Anthracite Grey on White
and Anthracite Grey both
sides. White foiled on both
sides has also seen an in-
crease as homeowners look
for the authentic timber
detailing that white foil can
deliver. Likewise, Cream
foil on both sides has also
seen an upturn along with
Black on White. The time-
less classics of Rosewood
and Golden Oak on both
sides and on White options
have continued to remain
popular too.
