Registration is now open for the events by visiting www. globaladventurechallenges. com Celebrating success of a perfect partnership GBW has just celebrated manufacturing its 100,000th foiled door panel and thanks to the use of the CoolSkin® product from 3D Laminates, product remakes now account for just 0.035% of production. The once problematic performance of door panels is now very much a distant memory for companies such as GBW and for the last six and half years they have been exclusively manufacturing foiled door panels with CoolSkin® technology from 3D Laminates. The company has a long-term agreement with one of the country’s leading home improvement companies for all door panels, supplying in excess of 1,000 panels every month. In the UK market, the Colordor range has been a big success, offering 10 colour/woodgrain finishes with a laminated CoolSkin® exterior with colours such as red, blue, anthracite grey and woodgrains such as Irish Oak. The five chambered PVCu door frames are made with a perfectly matching window grade PVCu foil. Mark Cuthbert, managing director of GBW, commented: “We have a strong relationship with 3D Laminates. Their CoolSkin® technology has quite simply revolutionised the door panel market.” For further information www.gbwuk.com or www.3d-laminates.com
