DoorCo has launched Short Doors. Part of the BritDor Range, Short Doors is designed to satisfy the requirement for smaller entrances to older properties and outbuildings. Ben Aspinall, DoorCo’s commercial director, explains more.
We’ve created the Short Doors range to satisfy customer demand, and there’s actually a staggering opportunity available.
Around 20% of homes in the UK were built before 1919, which equates to 2-3 million homes, and many are likely to have non-standard entrances. Older UK properties were built with shorter and narrower door openings, meaning modern standard doors often don’t fit. This is especially common in Victorian and Edwardian terraces, cottages, historic or listed buildings, and homes with timber frames or low ceilings.
Purpose built
The Short Doors range has been developed using the BritDor slab, but specifically re-engineered to offer in varying sizing options with minimum widths of 332mm and minimum heights of 1,555mm.
There are 49 different designs in total, plus six sidelite options. The styles, redesigned to suit the smaller sizing, have been handpicked from our bestselling designs to offer a mix of traditional and modern choices.
Short doors are available with three types of Winkhaus locking kits from the STV Thunderbolt range and can be prepped with any handle, hinge and letterplate.
The range is now available to order via our One Portal.
The introduction of the Short Doors range is part of our continued drive to offer our customers all the composite door products they need for today’s market as part of our One Supplier promise. Innovating in line with customer demand has always been a priority for us, and the Short Doors range is just the latest example.
