After opting for one of the doors he helped to design for his own house, Apeer’s R&D engineer, Paul Vajda, says that it was ‘only natural’ to recommend the same Lumi system when his father-in-law also wanted a new front door.
The result is said to be a ‘striking combination’ of Lumi composite door with two full-height glazed sidelights in Chartwell green exterior, with Winchester foil inside to complement oak flooring.
The recommendation was said to be very well-received, as Paul’s father-in-law is now reportedly looking to order matching Lumi windows.
Just as with Lumi windows, the entire door system, frame and sash is made of glass-fibre reinforced profiles and is triple glazed as standard with ‘U’ values as low as 0.8 W/m²K.
The door in question was fitted by Apeer’s own fitting team manager Gary Neil, who said: “The system was designed for easy retrofit installation as well as new-build and that proved to be the case here. Once the old door was out, the new one was in and complete in just a couple of hours.”
Apeer’s marketing manager, Linda Tomb, added: “The look of the finished door shows once again that the Lumi system is just as much at home in a traditional setting as in the contemporary it was initially designed for. We can’t wait to see how the whole house will look when it has the full set of Lumi windows to match.”
