Gerda is said to have taken the lessons learned from its debut at FIT Show 2022 and distilled that information into its offer for visitors to its stand at the 2023 event.

With the information gleaned from last year’s appearance, combined with the ‘real-world’ experience gained from the growing Gerda retail installer network, visitors to this year’s stand (P31) will find a range of doors curated more finely for the UK market.

Gerda Residential Doors, a household name in its native Poland, has worked with Gerda UK, to reflect British tastes as well as anticipating the tougher performance standards due with the impending Future Homes standard.

Gerda Residential Doors feature a range of contemporary steel and aluminium faced doors. The company says that it offers a level of thermal and security performance ‘not available at this price point from any other brand’.

The past year has been used to develop classic four panel, glazed and unglazed styles in addition to the contemporary designs that have become popular with buyers of aluminium windows in Britain and Ireland in recent years.

Gerda’s unique engineered construction uses steel or aluminium skins mounted on robust internal aluminium chassis, utilising a PU foam core that provides excellent thermal insulation. Gerda doors are specified throughout mainland Europe for their attention to security, with all doors enjoying multi point locks, three bolt main locks, anti-burglary vertical bolts, anti-theft pins and optional auxiliary locks for added security. New Fuhr hardware will be available on some models for 2023.

Following demand from UK installers, Gerda will also be launching a fire door, whilst a new door configurator will link homeowners, installers and the factory to allow homeowners to design their own door whilst keeping lead times competitive with other premium door suppliers.
