Consult guide Axis Entrances through to EPD verification

DHF Member, Consult a consultancy business run by Duncan Crawley, have taken the time and pain out of EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) management for Axis Entrance Systems Limited, who have achieved full EPD verification on their range of 10 Flo-Motion® low energy doors with the Building Research Establishment and listing in their Green Book live portal.

Duncan said:

“It was important for Axis Entrance Systems to achieve independently verified EPDs as the innovators and manufacturers behind the multi-award-winning Flo-Motion® door range for the healthcare sector.
“This confirms their strong commitment to measuring and reducing the environmental impact of its product”.

Managing Director, Rob Brunero says:

“We have always taken our environmental responsibility seriously, so we’re very proud to have this independent verification of the sustainable benefits of our doors.
“Consult guided us through the process with Duncan, collating the details and working with BRE on the final documents.
“This reduced the level of time required by our team, allowing them to concentrate on the business development and growth.
“We know these EPDs will help specifiers too, with their increasing responsibilities, for delivering buildings more sustainably.
“We will continue to lead the way in our industry for our dedication to environmental responsibility and customer focus.”

Comp Doors, Uncompromising In Their Pursuit of Quality Excellence!

Comp Door has been designed and built on innovation, leading the way in the UK composite door market, with so many unique selling points that are so vast and powerful that their doors are truly beyond compare.

The 48mm solid core Falcata timber used by Comp Door is the start of the journey that sets them apart as market leaders in the industry, maximising security and enhancing thermal efficiencies.

Selecting this particular grade of timber helps minimise thermal movement or bowing whilst maximising overall performance and providing ultimate strength through the very core of the door.

This is clear in the finished feel of each door design. Precision engineering provides an assurance of quality that is evident from the minute you open or shut any Comp Door.

The team are bold and speak with equal measures of confidence and pride when they say that you know quality when you touch it.

Standing head and shoulders above the rest, bringing sustainable innovation to door designs is the critical pivot that differentiates Comp Door.

Being the first in the industry to introduce and utilise a unique Adheer process, every door manufactured passes through specially invested machinery that applies a level layer and full corner to corner coverage of glue ready for door skinning.

This unique method of adhering bonds the skin layer to the solid timber core more evenly, maximising reliability and preventing the occurrence of delamination.

A direct result of their Adheer process created an additional special unique selling point for the business as Invisiedge was born.

Invisiedge provides a completely concealed colour edge to the door faces and provides a seamless colour edge to any door design.

Not content with eradicating delamination through Adheer, Comp Door then standardise the use of Coolskin Technology across their entire range.

The science behind Coolskin helps to reflect the harmful effects of UV rays from the sun and prevents colour skin fading or cracking.

The benefits of a Comp Door versus its nearest rival do not end here, 3 latch autofire locks are fitted to every Comp Door as standard.

These locks optimise compression, and the multi-latch deadbolt eliminates the need of the homeowner lifting the handle when closing the door.

What seems a simple end user benefit is in fact much more. The deadbolt helps to protect any door design against misalignment and lock breaks helping to enhance the longevity and value that is built uncompromisingly into every Comp Door.

Fitted with 3* Diamond Rated ABS Master Cylinders as standard, any door design provides unbreakable protection and is patented with Anti-Snap that's proven to perform effectively and protect against any attempted lock snapping, anti-bump, anti-pick, and anti-drill making homes in the UK much safer and secure with every Comp Door!

Proudly Made in Britain and built to perform without compromise, Comp Door boast to attaining the industry’s first ever PAS24:2022 accreditation, a test-based assessment to ensure maximum security and safety.

Furthermore, they offer a full range of Coastal BLU marine grade stainless steel on their door hardware options, providing a lifetime guarantee to homeowners against surface corrosion, tarnishing or pitting. Tactile real world quality that you can feel.

With more than 250 colour combinations and 100% colour match frame to slab on offer too, Comp Door truly excel at offering their installers’ homeowners the most unrivalled products with endless possibilities of choice.

All of this paired with their customer-centric unrivalled service and highly skilled team of experts that makes working with Comp Door a simple and margin-enhancing decision, every time!

Product innovation is the life blood that continually feeds the excitement and pursuit of quality without compromise at Comp Door.

Staying ahead and matching their resources to their customers’ expectations is why they are already enabling the manufacture of smart technology to offer their end user customers a product more consumer friendly and adaptable to the modern smart way of living.

Richard Diliberto, Sales Director at Comp Door explains:

“Our difference in service is centring our entire operation around our customers, our difference in products is in our meticulous level of detail in every single element of our doors’ unique design, creating the best composite door from a real inside out philosophy.
“When choosing which composite door to install our customers want complete assurance and confidence that the entire door is the most durable, aesthetically pleasing, and secure door on the market.
“Here at Comp Door, we are committed to designing and manufacturing the UK’s ultimate and in-demand composite door.
“We are the market leaders in our field and are always seeking to continually enhance and improve every feature of our product design, portfolio options, service and our innovation”.
