Door Trends A 'BUMPER YEAR' FOR GRP DOORS Total Fabricator hears from Distinction Doors, who reveals its big hitters from the past 12 months in the GRP composite entrance doors market, which could give an indication of what to expect in 2022. 2021 was reportedly a strong year for glass reinforced plastic (GRP) composite entrance doors. The most popular door style for 2021 was Esteem (ES02), the continuing option for a traditional front door. Palma is said to be the number one glass design, combining geometric shapes in transparent and stippled glass with zinc calming. And finally, topping the Distinction bespoke colour chart was Anthracite Grey. Door Styles Traditional door styles dominated Distinction door sales in 2021. Doors from both the signature and nxt-gen collections ranked highly, with Esteem and Elegance (EL01) featuring multiple times. The remainder of the top ten continued the traditional theme with both Rustic Renown (RR02) and Rustic Renown Diamond (RR03) included. Cottage (RE01), Classical (CL01), and The nxt-gen Esteem door Traditional doors like Elegance was one of Distinction’s top sellers Eclat (EC01) came in at places six, seven and nine, respectively. Glass Designs Customers chose to complement these traditional door styles with classic glass designs. Diamonds with linear shapes in stippled and obscure glass dominated the top three – Palma, Kara and Lunna. Aspen and Trieste also featured and offered a flavour of the arts and crafts movement, said to be an ideal choice for properties dating to the mid-19th to early 20th century. Accents of colour also made it into the top ten with Kara offering four colour options for its diamond detail and the more elaborate Edwardian featuring red and green elements. Colours With Anthracite Grey reigning supreme in the number one slot, it’s certainly not the only shade of grey in the Distinction top ten of bespoke colours. In fact, 50% of the chart was grey, five of which were in the top six. Tonal variations of blue and green followed closely behind - Steel Blue; Chartwell and Azure Blue. While Ruby Red and Black Brown injected some drama, two classic shades for traditional door styles. Commenting on its popular products, Bethaney Larkman, Marketing Manager for Distinction Doors said: “It’s always interesting to find out which products and colours our customers favour. “We’re not surprised by the enduring popularity of grey but what is striking is the combination of a modern colour palette with classic entrance door designs and decorative glass. “It’s a mix that works well for older and new build properties and has universal appeal. “With new door designs and cassette options launching in 2022, alongside a refreshed paint offering, we’re excited to see what our customers will choose this year.” Contact Distinction Doors: 0345 2000 816 www.distinctiondoors.co.uk @DistinctionDrs 28 T F JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022 CONNECTING THE WINDOW, DOOR & ROOF FABRICATION SUPPLY CHAIN
