Designer Doors Online for Homeowners in Just a Few Clicks

A new online store, www.uk-doorsdirect.com, has been launched by door specialist Octaveward.   Now homeowners can design their own Samson composite door by selecting from a catalogue of attractive and durable components to create individual doors with style and character that enhance and secure their home.

The process of door design is simple.  First choose a door style from a range of six solid or glazed models.  There are seven finish options from solid colours to simulated textured hardwoods to choose from.  Then select from a range of glazing, door hardware and frame options before giving the overall dimensions of the aperture.  

The cost is automatically calculated and clearly displayed.  Buyers can explore different door designs easily.  Octaveward promised that, even though doors are individual creations, prices will compare favourably to anything of similar quality available through retail outlets.   Customers can opt to have an Octaveward surveyor take the measurements and their craftsmen install the door if they wish. 

All doors have a 10 year guarantee and are expected to provide decades of low maintenance and trouble free performance.  Approved by the police under the ‘Secured by Design’ standard Samson doors have withstood severe attack and weathering tests.  All doors have triple point locking and quality hardware. 

Samson composite doors combine outer skins of moulded glass reinforced polymer (GRP) with frames and cores of Envirowood.  GRP has been used for over 40 years in ocean going yachts and other demanding applications.  Envirowood is a material made from up to 70 percent recycled styrene which is mixed with other polymers to give the weight, density and a natural appearance of hardwood.  These materials require virtually no maintenance and will not rot, warp or split.  Furthermore, they do not host mould or parasites nor will they lose texture or colour. 

After logging on to the www.uk-doorsdirect.com web site, homeowners are just eight simple steps from creating the door of their dreams.
