Are you ready to adore your door? The Duo is designed with meticulous attention to every detail and finished to the highest possible standard. Your front door is a symbol of your home, your family and your life. It’s as individual as you are. It says a lot about you.

So it’s something you’re going to want to cherish. To adore. It’s going to keep you, your family and possessions safe and sound. It’s going to keep out the cold and wet, yet keep in the warmth. It’s going to be as good looking in 10 years time as it is on the day it’s installed. So take your time in making the right decision and make certain it’s one that you don’t regret. Choose a Duo Composite Door and get ready to adore your door from the moment it arrives.
Secure
Elegant
Every Duo door is fitted with an ultra-secure multipoint locking system.
With its wide range of colours, styles, glazing and finish options, you’ll probably never see another Duo door the same as yours.
All Duo doors are 68mm thick. Their ultra-strong GRP skins, combined with an extra-strong multipoint locking system provide the highest level of security and deliver total peace of mind.
MULTI POINT
The doors are 50% thicker than most competitors. From start to finish Duo Doors are designed, developed, manufactured and installed to meet or exceed all current British standards.
LOCKING SYSTEM
The doors achieve PAS23 and PAS24, the latest and most stringent BSI security and weather performance standards. They are Secured by Design - the official police security initiative.
Duo doors are created with symmetry and proportion in mind, finished with attention to detail, built using the strongest, low-maintenance materials available, and will enhance the appearance and character of any home, whether contemporary or modern. The combination of colour, glass, furniture and finish means that there are over one and a half million options from which you can choose your perfect door. One that’s not only elegant but also individual. Stunning. You can complement your door with side panels or, for the wider entrance, sidelights and toplights.
They’re thicker than nearly every other door on the market and there’s no timber involved in their
A Duo door looks as perfect in a leafy rural parish as it does in a busy city street.
construction, so there’s no risk of warping. You’d expect a Duo Door to last for a long time.
Confident
We guarantee that it will.
With a thick skin of ultra-hard wearing Glass Reinforced Plastic, your Duo door will perform just as you’d expect. Or better.
Capable Every Duo Door is double rebated as standard. By fitting a double rebate to every door, we’re helping you to stay warm. And helping the environment. It makes the weather seals much more draught proof and effective than their single rebate equivalents. So you get to keep more expensive heat on the inside, whilst keeping more cold weather on the outside. What’s more, the high density central core of each door provides excellent accoustic and insulation qualities, helping to keep even more of the heat in than standard infill doors and achieving the highest ratings of any door on the market. All of which adds up to lower energy bills. Something that we all want.
All Duo doors are manufactured to the highest standards in our factory in the UK, using only the highest-grade materials. Their performance is fully guaranteed for 10 years but designed to last for over a quarter of a century. The high quality sub-frame is individually constructed to match every door size exactly, and combines strength and stability with sturdy joints locking everything tightly in place. What’s more, they’re produced in an environmentally responsible manner using renewable resources and low energy processes, with factory waste kept to a minimum and recycling employed where possible. Every Duo door is a “green” door. It is not every day that you invest in a new front door. So it’s vital that you choose a door that you can trust. One that gives you and your family peace of mind. One that will stay looking good for years to come. Duo. The only door you’ll ever need.
