The company attributes this success to the unique modular design, which adapts to diverse residential installation scenarios while maintaining ease of installation – a key selling point for trade customers. “Our HOME systems embody our design philosophy: why make it difficult if it can be done easily?” says Paul Copeland, General Manager at SOMMER DOCO UK. “Features like pre-loaded tension springs significantly reduce build and installation time, delivering real value to installers while maintaining the premium quality our customers expect.” The modular door systems, manufactured in Germany and Holland, have gained popularity for their versatility and reliability. SOMMER DOCO reports that the combination of high build quality and low maintenance requirements has resonated strongly with UK customers looking for long-term value. Customer choice appears to be another driving factor behind increased sales. The HOME systems offer extensive customisation options, with a wide range of stylish and durable panels available in standard colours from UK stock, plus special designs and prints to complement any building style. Door leaf accessories include practical security features such as locks, keypads and fingerprint readers, alongside aesthetic options like stylish window designs. The integration of smart technology has further boosted appeal, with anti-burglary components, pass door kits, alarms and wireless technology all available.
