Doorco is set to launch a new hybrid GRP/ timber hybrid composite door range under the name Gripcore.
MD Dan Sullivan explained: “Gripcore Technology is a unique matrix of cross laminated engineered timber and hardwood stiles and rails with pressed GRP skins, resulting in a door that will not crack, move or de-laminate.
“It is truly the most engineered door I have ever seen. In fact, we are so confident in the product and the engineering and investment behind it, we are offering a ten-year warranty on all Gripcore doors, with a further guarantee that the door will not move more than 3mm in its lifetime.
Manufacturing requirements do not vary from Doorco’s standard door product, so existing customers can easily add it to their offering, he added.
Gripcore will be available as a one-size 914mm blank, which can be made into all common door sizes, making stocking simple. Both traditional and contemporary options will be available, such as a woodgrain panelled door, Farmhouse, Flush, Monza II and Links. A number of bespoke glass and colour options will also be offered.
The MD continued: The composite door market is a competitive place and for us, it’s all about innovating products which help our customers stand out from the crowd. Creating a solid core Doorco door was the next logical step for us and I was intrigued by the initial idea of using Doorco’s collective experience to engineer out all the issues consumers face with the current market offering.
Doorco is pushing the boundaries to create a hybrid of modern and traditional materials, resulting in a composite door slab that is stronger, more rigid and more stable than anything on the market.”
