The Residence Collection launches new timber alternative door range

The Residence Collection has launched a timber alternative entrance door, which is available in all three of its current systems: R9, R7 and R². The doors come in a range of colours, including some new exclusive shades. They are compatible with a variety of manufacturing techniques, including Timberweld, providing even greater potential for bespoke customisation for the end customer. 

The new open-in door sash is chamfered to perfectly suite with their existing open-out door and window sashes, ensuring a consistent and visually appealing aesthetic as well as exceptional quality finishes. The range retains the traditional timber alternative look, featuring an authentic large mid rail, stackable deep bottom rail and a patented decorative panel trim that hides the gasket line and gives the appearance of a moulded timber panel, while offering the expected durability and efficiency of modern materials. When partnered with the Residence 7 frame, the open-in door is flush both inside and out, offering a sleek timber alternative solution. 

The bespoke 130mm mid-rail option allows for the inclusion of a full-sized letterbox, while the exclusive timber alternative patented panel surround trim offers a moulded timber aesthetic that hides the gasket line. The entrance door also features a deep bottom rail with positive click engagement for easy fabrication, that can be stacked to replicate timber doors. 

Fabricators and installers can tailor these doors to any desired specification, with sash sizes available up to 900mm wide and 2300mm high. The new entrance door can be made in a variety of configurations, including French door options. The doors are available with a low threshold, as well as a full-frame option for Residence², a low aluminium threshold is ideal for wheelchair access, ensuring that the range is accessible for all.  

The new range is fully PAS24/SBD compliant and has been tested for weather, strength, and performance to meet the BS6375 standard. The range includes matching hardware, including monkey tail and pear drop handles, as well as the new Knurled handle as part of the Regal hardware range. The doors also offer 28mm double and 44mm triple glazing options.
