Premdor
Unveils 'First' in Door Electronics for Domestic Market
Premdor revealed at Interbuild what it believes is a first for a mainstream
manufacturer - a remote control system for opening doors designed for
use in the domestic housing market.
The device is based around similar mechanisms that typically feature
in public buildings to control access and protect sensitive or security
areas. It combines a box fitted to the doorframe, which is activated
by a small remote control.
Another concept on show from Premdor was an automatic venetian blind
contained within a door glazing unit. The full blind is designed for
use where additional privacy is required.
Premdor also displayed innovations and improvements across its product
range. Among the highlights were additions to its Stormproof Secure
doorsets certified to Secured By Design standards, more choices in hardwood
feature doors including the Superior range, product enhancements to
satisfy Part L regulations, new styles in Alpha 24 windows and cubicle
and washroom systems.

Premdor, the UK manufacturer of doors and windows will be showing a
number of innovations and improvements to be introduced to it's product
ranges.
'Among the highiights will be a PVCu frame option now available with
the extensive Stormproof Secure range of doorsets - already the widest
available to house builders, developers and specifiers from any manufacturer
in the UK joinery industry.' says the company.
'Premdor was the first manufacturer to launch a complete range of timber,
steel and fibreglass doorsets and timber windows independently certified
to meet the stringent Secured By Design (SBD) standards, and continues
to offer products that meet thesecurity standards demanded by the housing
market.'
Secured By Design is the UK standard recognised and recommended by the
Police as a 'preferred specification' for security doors and windows,
an initiative that has been welcomed by architects, developers and planners
as an important contribution to the development of crime prevention
in building design and build.
Premdor is encouraging contractors and developers to install its SBD
doors and windows as an 'added value' selling point for any new property
after research showed that properties installed with Secured By Design
doors and windows were less prone to crime.
'Premdor's comprehensive Stormproof Secure range now includes the widest
choice of secure doorset designs in the industry, and the first complete
range of security joinery products available in the UK.' the company
claims.
Each product has achieved PAS 23 and PAS 24 (for doorsets) and BS7950
(for windows) certification to perfoFm at the highest recognised level
of domestic security, and the company continues to invest significantly
in product improvements with the launch of a new addition to the range.
The new doorset variant is suitable for both new build and refurbishment
projects. Fully certified by an independent UKAS accredited test house,
the new PVCu frame offers a low maintenance package when specified with
Premdor's range of fibreglass doors.
To support the range, Premdor has produced detailed product literature.
A PC CDRom and video are also available which illustrate the doorset
and window products' security features as well as summarising the rigorous
independent testing procedures that each product has undergone.
New Products
Premdor plans to reveal what it believes is a first for a mainstream
manufacturer - a new concept for a remote control system to open doors,
designed for use in the domestic housing market.
The device is based around similar mechanisms that typically feature
in public buildings to control access and protect sensitive or security
areas. It combines a box fitted to the doorframe, which is activated
by a small remote control. lnitially it will be for use on external
doors only.
Another concept in door electronics on show from Premdor will be an
electric venetian blind. The full height blind is designed for use on
doors with double glazing units for exteriors.
Premdor considers the lnterbuild exhibition to be an excellent opportunity
to speak face to face with both existing and potential customers.
On the Premdor stand there will be a number live demonstrations each
day of its Speed Set system, which the company claims has created a
new benchmark for installation ready doorsets. Speed Sets can be installed
without special joinery sklls in a quarter of the time it takes for
a traditional installation, so saving labour costs and reducing build
times.
Speed Set is suited to both domestic and commercial volume new build.
The system arrives on site as a complete pre-assembled unit, including
architraves, with the selected door from Premdor's interior door range
pre-hung, together with factory fitted door latches or locks.
A regional network of accredited Speed Set fabricators ensures local
delivery to the
site on a 'just in time' basis, which gives builders and developers
important benefits. These include minimising the wastage often caused
by damage or theft, maximising on-site storage space and installation
after plastering to reduce the possibility of moisture damage.
