Along with eye-catching modern looks, the FrontGuard Plus range is all about outstanding thermal performance and substantial energy saving; vital aspects in modern builds. Garador’s FrontGuard Plus doors are available in Modern and Contemporary ranges, both of which have been designed to complement more progressive and forward thinking building projects, as well as new builds. Each FrontGuard Plus door features durable, water-proof rubber seals on all four sides of the door panel, to keep the rain and wind outside. The door leaf itself is filled with 65mm thick high- density polyurethane foam, providing fantastic thermal efficiency with overall U-Values down to 0.81 W/m2k. The door is constructed around a sturdy aluminium frame, which has a thermal break and insulating polyurethane foam built into the frame to further minimise heat loss and eliminate thermal bridges. FrontGuard Plus doors can be fitted to open inwards or outwards, providing a flexible entrance solution for your front or back door. For added privacy, some FrontGuard Plus models in the Contemporary range have been designed without windows. Doors in the Modern range have been engineered with subtle window designs that maintain privacy whilst allowing light indoors. They feature anti shatter glass, in a sand -blasted float glazed effect. All doors are available in a choice of colours and wood effect finishes together with many options and come with 3 way adjustable hinges for quick and easy installation. Whilst many of the FrontGuard Plus models are available with Secured by Design accreditation as an option, a five point security locking system comes as standard on all doors, for added peace of mind. “We wanted to create a breakthrough in the design of front doors to provide new functionality together with great new looks and simple installation,” said Garador’s managing director Simon Hipgrave. “Our FrontGuard Plus range exceeds our expectations on all fronts and offers the ultimate in front doors for conventional domestic builds.” Find out more about Garador’s FrontGuard Plus Doors together with their full range of garage doors at www.garador.co.uk or call 01935 443701.
