Immerse yourself in a sensory experience for doors
looks and general appearance. However, in our hopefully soon to be, post-pandemic world, a more immersive experience is sought in our future daily lives. Innovative door design can often be limited

to visual perception. In other words, does it turn heads and stand out in its surroundings? A not unrealistic aspiration, although seldom achieved these days. This is especially true given the humdrum and quite frankly tired result presented by the ubiquitous white painted moulded skin doors you see at every turn.

Two of Vicaima’s very popular ranges have
recently been extended to provide doors with something more than just great looks. Both ranges are from the Dekordor®
collections and
include: Dekordor 3D presenting a pronounced embossed grain effect finish, which although rippled to the touch; is very durable.

Both these sensory ranges are manufactured and suitable for a variety of applications and
