Heat resistant foil now allows Rockdoor to offer a black door to the domestic retail market with confidence.

For the first time leading composite door manufacturer Rockdoor is offering the Holy Grail of doors thanks to its exclusive new technology, Heat Shield.

The heat resistant foil now allows Rockdoor to offer a black door to the domestic retail market with confidence that it won't suffer problems of the past.

Existing foils are far too thin, absorbing more UV rays so they expand and contract as the temperature fluctuates.

The problem is even worse for black doors because they absorb even more heat.

Heat Shield reflects up to 80% of the Near Infrared (NIR) proportion of the sunlight significantly reducing the heat absorbed by the door so it doesn't crack or blister.

The result is it looks better for much, much longer.

Rockdoor's Sales Director Mark Simm comments: "Because previous foils didn't offer protection against temperature fluctuations we didn't want to offer a black door that wouldn't last".

"We've been under pressure to supply a black door for some time but we didn't yield until we knew we could provide a door that looked good and performed well".

"With Heat Shield we know even a black door will last against everything hot summers can throw at it".

"Heat Shield outperforms all other foils".

"It is up to 12 times thicker so it is extremely difficult to scratch when installing and for life so the door and looks better for longer".

"This allows us to offer a good looking door which is strong, durable and performs.".
