Timber doorset manufacturer JELD-WEN UK, has launched a new brochure to support easier specification across a range of market sectors. It includes all the information required across a range of sector-specific uses, including education, hospitality, healthcare, residential settings, student accommodation and offices. Taking a top-level view, the brochure sets out all the key factors needed to specify doors in each setting, clearly signposting performance testing for standards including acoustics, fire resistance, durability and security – as well as guarantee details and fire door data tagging capability.
Breaking down the qualities of the door by project application, the brochure also includes details such as DDA compliance, Part M compliance, access control, and bespoke sizing.
Marketing Manager at JELD-WEN UK Amy Holmes said: “The doorsets created by JELD-WEN are tested to incredibly high standards and meet the demands of a range of settings. We wanted a platform that could really showcase the breadth of this offering. “Using standout graphics and lists, we aim to show at a glance how JELD-WEN doors meet the highest standards to allow for confident specification in sectors that require specific testing to be demonstrated.
“The demand for accessible data and information has become increasingly urgent and we wanted to make it as easy as possible for specifiers to find a doorset that meets the needs of their project – and we have flagged up the depth of support we offer beyond that initial specification.
“JELD-WEN is committed to meeting the very highest standards in performance and we are delighted to be able to bring this together in one place to show the range of applications that our doorsets can confidently be used in.” •
