Suffolk_Lifestyle Image 1 newsletterInternal doors are an important part of your build and interior design. The choice of door can have a big impact on the style and feel of a room therefore it is important to consider your requirements carefully. Internal doors can be used to increase privacy and reduce noise between rooms, hold in heat when closed reducing the cost of heating bills or allow the flow of hot or cold air between rooms. One of the most popular doors available at Howarth Timber and Building Supplies is the Suffolk Essential Oak Unfinished door, priced at £62.50 + VAT, offering fantastic quality and value for money. The Suffolk doors are also available in various sizes, finished, panelled, glazed or as certified fire doors.

Howarth Timber and Building Supplies offer over 80 types of doors available in more than 10 styles including:

  • Glazed –Available as clear, obscure or decorative to suit the needs of different areas of your home, these are a simple method of adding natural light to dark areas such as hallways.
  • Suffolk Pair Image 2Fire Doors –With at least an FD30 rating aimed at helping to protect your home in the event of a fire. All our fire doors meet the necessary building regulations. We are members of the British Woodworking Federation (BWF) Certifire Fire Door Scheme and all our branches have staff who will be able to provide both guidance and best practice advice. All fire doors can be chosen to match or complement standard doors, and many of our popular door ranges are available in a fire door option.
  • White Moulded –Create a stylish and “clean” look with white moulded options.
  • Pre-Finished– These are ready to be hung straight away and do not need paint or stain to be applied. Pre-finished is a good choice if you are short on time.
  • Primed –These have been primed and are ready for a finishing coat of paint to be applied before it is hung.
  • Unfinished –These may require sanding down to prepare them for paints and stains. These are a great option if you have a specific colour in mind, perhaps to match existing mouldings or furniture. Choose this one if customisation is important to you. We sell a wide range of paints, stain, and preservatives to help you finish the job.

To complement your doors, Howarth Timber and Building Supplies also offer an extensive range of ironmongery products such as door handles, locks and hinges and includes the innovative Jigtech range to help fit your door quickly.

Europe’s leading door manufacturer, Hörmann UK, has launched its new aluminium frame sectional garage door (ART 42).

unnamedThe new sectional garage door has been manufactured based on Hörmann’s impressive industrial product range, offering outstanding durability and longevity. The ART 42 model features an aluminium frame and diverse infill offering, from synthetic double pane grey tinted glazing to perforated stainless steel. With the option of including a thermal break, the new design of the sectional garage door provides professionals and their clients with enhanced performance.

While thermal efficiency is increasingly a top priority for architects and specifiers, aiding clients in reducing long term energy costs, the opportunity to create a property that has real kerb appeal appearance is also an important factor in the initial design and specification process. The ART 42 range is available with 11 infill variations, which maximises the available natural light, as well as improving ventilation for parking in larger garages that house multiple vehicles.

In terms of aesthetics, Hörmann UK’s ART 42 can be coated in one of 15 preferred colours, as well as providing specifiers with the option to colour match to complementary building products, such as entrance doors. This supports architects in achieving a cohesive and visually striking look across the entire exterior of the property, with the ART 42 aluminium frame door also offering the ability to be constructed as a complementary side garage door.

As well as launching its ART 42 aluminium frame sectional garage door, Hörmann UK has also launched 24 new Duragrain finishes, which allows professionals to move away from the look and style of traditional garage doors. The fresh approach provides specifiers with the flexibility to create a bepsoke exterior to a property, without compromising on quality or durability. Architects and specifiers are able to select from a comprehensive range of contemporary and traditional finishes, from concrete to whitewashed oak.

Duragrain is Hörmann’s innovative digital printing technique, which contains a protective exterior coating to the door for an ultra scratch-resistant finish, as well as protecting the surface of the door from the weathering effects of the environment.

Hörmann UK’s latest ranges are all available on the newly updated Architect’s Programme, which provides real-time collaboration between architects, engineers and contractors to streamline and support the design process. As well as this, the Architect’s Programme provides its users with the required data at all stages, from planning, to final phases of the build for its industrial, commercial and domestic product ranges.
