The HOTTEST
thing this year is COOL
A woodgrain door that acts like a white door
For years PVC door manufacturers have been searching for ways to reduce
the problems associated with woodgrain door panels. However, no one todate
has provided a credible solution to this age old problem...until now!
Planet now has a woodgrain specifically formulated to help solve the problems
of cracking, warping and bubbling.
New Planet woodgrain doors with Heat Shield
Planet woodgrain doors have been specifically developed using the latest
heat protective door panel skin (Heat Shield), designed to reflect up to
80% of the sun’s harmful rays therefore acting as a white door would
do. Ensuring our ongoing commitment to give customers products that put
them ahead of the competition.
What about standard woodgrain doors
Existing woodgrain veneer’s are usually far too thin, so continual
expansion and contraction soon affects the appearance and performance. For
years, door manufacturers have been shaving pennies off their product and
these extremely thin veneer’s aren’t fit for purpose.
Car technology is the driver for new woodgrain
The woodgrain technology was first used by German car manufacturer BMW in
its convertibles. Woodgrain veneers and leather seats became extremely hot
when the roof was down and drivers and passengers burnt themselves on the
over-heated surfaces. The new technology was developed to withstand extreme
heat and UV radiation and exhibits a significant reduction in heat absorption
compared with current hot stamp finishes and conventional PVC based finishes.
