Doorsets are supplied in a pre-finished frame, which maximises performance and minimises on-site installation time, ensuring least disruption to tenants.
The doors can be supplied in a wide range of finishes with an authentic woodgrain effect.
In addition, customers benefit from low maintenance on composite doorsets as JELD-WEN provides a 10 year guarantee against manufacturer's defects as standard.
