Installers who want to get a slice of the lucrative aluminium entrance door market have an exciting new option – thanks to the launch of a new 77mm deep, structurally panelled door from specialist trade and commercial fabricator Rhino Aluminium.
Rhino is manufacturing the Rhino Door inhouse at its Kent factory using its own advanced bonding press, so can offer compelling guarantees on quality, short lead times and competitive pricing.
Paul King, Managing Director at Rhino Aluminium, says: “Our door is targeted directly at those high end properties where the buyer or developer wants the same quality feel that they get when they open and close the door of a luxury car. There’s a reassuring weight and smoothness in the operation of the Rhino Door, which easily distinguishes it not just from the composite pretenders, but also from other aluminium entrance doors which use a beaded inlay rather than a bonded panel.
“There’s no doubt the aluminium entrance door market represents an exciting new target for installers who are seeing margins being squeezed elsewhere, but only if they choose the right door from the right supplier.
“We’re taking an uncompromising approach to quality which extends beyond the bonded panel. The frame is AluK, the handles and pull bars are Sobinco and the multipoint locking systems are Winkhaus, for example. And, because we’re manufacturing the door in house, we can offer competitive lead times of 15 days on standard designs and colours and pricing, which still gives installers plenty of room for healthy margins. That’s a combination that other suppliers just can’t match.”
The Rhino Door is available with 12 contemporary and traditional panel options and in sizes up to 1200mm wide x 2400mm high for even the grandest of ‘grand designs’. Buyers can choose any RAL colour, inside and out, and a matt, textured or oxide metallic marine grade finish.
As you would expect from a premium engineered door, the Rhino Door is fully compliant with Part L, PAS24 2022 accredited and boasts market leading weather performance.
With lead times of 15 days, there are also opportunities for fabricators to buy in the Rhino Door and add a potentially valuable new product to their product portfolio.
