RegaLead partners with WindowCAD
RegaLead, the driving force behind Engineered Door Components, has teamed up with window and door design software specialist WindowCAD, to bring Engineered Door Components directly to installers.
The entire range of Engineered Door Components is now available as design options in WindowCAD 7. It gives installers the ability to design and upsell high-end PVC-U doors to homeowners, using WindowCAD’s software which creates rotatable, 3D images of door styles in real-time during the design process.
“WindowCAD software really delivers the wow-factor,” said Guy Hubble, joint managing director at RegaLead. “The detailing on the 3D images is second-to-none and you can zoom in and rotate the images so you can see the finer details during the design process. It’s such an impressive tool to help installers sell.”
Engineered Doors are said to be a growing market opportunity and RegaLead has designed a PVC-U based system of decorative door panels and plant-on mouldings to make Engineered Doors an easy addition to any fabricator or installer’s product range. The collection includes flat, tongue and grooved, and raised and fielded panels in more than 70 standard and 100 special order colour foil finishes to suit most PVC-U systems.
Guy added: “We’ve seen phenomenal growth in timber-look PVC-U windows, showing there is a real appetite for high-end, premium products that mimic the traditional craftsmanship of timber whilst offering all the benefits of PVC-U.
“All that was missing was a PVC-U door system that could offer an equally high-end timber-style design with the right colour options and aesthetic components – that’s what our Engineered Door Components range delivers.”
Leigh Walker, managing director at WindowCAD, added: “Accurate 3D visuals are one of the strongest tools that installers can have in their pocket when selling premium products.
“Having all of the door panel styles, decorative and bolection mouldings, in the full range of colours and finishes in WindowCAD, makes it easy for installers to show all of the options. Plus, they can show decorative glass styles and additions such as astragal bars, so homeowners don’t have to imagine their new door – they can see exactly how it will look on screen, right down to the finest detail.”
