One of the UK’s leading quality suppliers of sash and casement window components and accessories, Reddiseals, has introduced the Abberley range of internal door furniture. The move enables joiners to perfectly match handles, hinges and other furniture on doors and windows throughout a property from a single, specialist supplier. Matching the standards seen in similar window accessories, the Abberley range of internal door furniture is forged in high quality brass. It includes both traditional and modern designs in a wide range of colours to offer plenty of choice, with styling that corresponds precisely to Reddiseals’ sash and casement window components. This offers a significant advantage to joiners and property developers, who generally look to source products from a small number of reliable suppliers whilst trying to match the colours of all furniture required. The Abberley door furniture range includes eight different styles of handle including Swirl, Swirl Deco, Arch, Wedge, Dorsal, Dome, Tempo and Scroll, available on a variety of carefully chosen plates including rose, bathroom and lock plates. Victorian and beaded door knobs are also in the range, alongside a useful selection of colour matched accessories such as latches and hinges. Internal door handles from the well-known From the Anvil® brand are available.

www.reddiseals.com SpeedSet Plus, exclusive to Premdor
As a result of extensive research in both the New Build sector and the RMI market, Premdor developed SpeedSet Plus, a revolutionary, adjustable internal doorset system which is an industry first and unique in the Building and Construction marketplace. SpeedSet Plus saves on-site time and therefore costs, by allowing the doorset to be adjusted +/- 10mm, to compensate for variances within wall thicknesses of up to 300mm. The clever simplicity of the system means installation can be achieved in less than twenty minutes, alleviating delays and costly joinery skills. With doors factory pre-hung with CE marked latch and adjustable hinges, the SpeedSet Plus doorset package comes complete with white re-coatable, foil faced frame and pre-mitred architrave, requiring minimum on-site decoration. Door styles may be chosen from the Premdor interior door range and are available as an FD30 fire door option. With a system so versatile it can be fitted much later in the internal fix programme, thereby avoiding possi- ble damage risk.
