‘First’ claim for ali lookalike door
July 2017

VIRTUOSO has unveiled Virtu-Al, said to be the UK’s first non-woodgrain composite door aimed to look and feel like aluminium.

Managing director Tony Craggs said: “The Virtu-Al door is like nothing else out there and it’s certain to open up some fantastic new opportunities for installers who want to broaden their scope beyond standard composite doors and take advantage of the growing consumer appetite for modern, aluminium style products.

“Previously, homeowners had to choose between a pricier aluminium door or a woodgrained composite door but not now. Our high performance Virtu-Al door looks and feels just like a premium aluminium door and it has all the thermal and performance characteristics of a composite door.”

The aluminium alternative door has been developed to complement the crisp, clean features of other aluminium fenestration products to enable end users to create a cohesive look for their home. 

The Virtu-Al door is available in four styles which are exclusive to Virtuoso. The designs are complemented by a range of traditional or contemporary hardware, which includes a new inline flat pull bar.

It consists of a 4mm GRP skin on a 44mm composite slab. 

Like all Virtuoso doors, it is available in a number of standard colours and it can also be sprayed to match any RAL colour. The door is PAS 24 and Document Q compliant and comes with a comprehensive guarantee to cover its structure and finish.

The Virtu-Al door can be sourced through Virtuoso’s door designer software, the Gateway bespoke door designer package. With the recently launched Gateway 2 package, homeowners can now design their own Virtu-AL door on-line.
