Read Full ArticleHurst has added two more styles to its composite stable-door collection in response to recent increased demand driven by Covid, according to the company.
“Stable doors became a surprise hit following the Covid pandemic when homeowners took a greater interest in the style and aesthetics of their properties,” Hurst’s sales director Mark Atkinson says. “Homeowners who invested in modern, stylish and functional doors, which also enhanced their property’s value, turned to stable doors because of their rustic charm and practical benefits.
“For example, they provide a barrier to pets and toddlers while allowing light and air to flow through. This became a popular requirement as more people spent time in their homes. Interestingly, this popularity hasn’t faded. By broadening our range, we are helping our customers tap into this demand.”
Styles
The two new styles are called Rustic Stable SquareLite and SquareLite Georgian.
Often chosen for use as a back door or side door, the new Rustic Stable SquareLite features a larger glazed area to maximise natural light, while the SquareLite Georgian style has a classic touch thanks to a Georgian bar that divides the glazed area into four sections.
These new styles are available in over 1,600 RAL colours, with a variety of glass and hardware options. They are available to order through Hurst Live, the company’s online portal which attracts consumer leads that are passed on to installers.
Fabricators often buy-in stable doors as they are more complicated to make than standard doors.
Markets
Atkinson adds: “We are seeing interest from both new builds and homeowners looking to upgrade their homes.
“We also provide our customers with all the tools they need to support them in providing their customers with a good retail experience and guidance when choosing the perfect door for their property. These include our new composite door brochure, which fully integrates with professionally created sales videos and now our new augmented reality sales tool.”
