Federation’s (DHF) Timber Doorset Group has produced a comprehensive guide to
the benefits of ‘factory prepared complete timber doorsets’.
The group actively
promotes the commercial and legal benefits of specifying complete timber
doorsets, as opposed to purchasing individual components from various sources;
they are then made up on site.
And with an
all-inclusive list of benefits now available in an easy-to-download
publication, it is anticipated that building professionals such as specifiers,
architects and contractors will achieve a wider understanding and recognise the
advantages to purchasing a complete product, including those involved in the
modular build market.
The new DHF
publication lists the many benefits of choosing a complete timber doorset,
primarily, that these products derive from one single source of supply, are
quality-controlled products and will ultimately, result in cost-savings as all
necessary items are included.
In addition, using a complete timber
doorset is a greener option, as they are engineered for energy efficiency and
sustainability.
“In everyone’s
minds, recent events have brought to the fore, the premise that a poorly fitted
door, or one that has had the integrity compromised, can be a liability,”
explains DHF Marketing Manager, Patricia Sowsbery-Stevens.
“DHF believes
that installing a complete doorset that has been tested as a complete unit,
manufactured under a third-party certification scheme, installed and maintained
by a company certified to do so under third-party certification, provides peace
of mind, reduced installation time and ultimately, costs.
“It is a 'no fuss'
solution, with no need to purchase separate components as everything is
included.
"In addition, complete doorsets can be installed later in the
building process, reducing the risk of on-site damage whilst works are on-going
and are a perfect solution for modular builds.
"There are so many
advantages to purchasing a complete doorset and we believe that DHF’s latest
publication will enable a greater understanding of the benefits of selecting
these products.”
