When approached by JD UK the distributors of the Alutech Sectional door in the UK, they were a little cautious of trying a new product. Having done some research into Alutech and JD UK, Peter White from Portman commented: “Alutech are one of the best kept secrets where sectional doors are concerned, the product quality is as good as any others currently offered in the UK, prices are lower and delivery is only 3 weeks from order for any colour, including the wood effect finishes”. Peter concluded by saying: “The combination of this will make us more competitive and more profitable”. Having now fitted a number of doors, Portman have installed one of the first doors with the reveal fitting fit. This eliminates the need for a frame due to a full frame, finished to the same colour as the door being supplied. It’s simple, take out the existing door and frame, install the Alutech kit and there is no need to provide extra trim to finish off the installation. Roy Allport, MD and owner of Portman doors commented: “Once the doors were installed I received really positive feedback from the end user on how good the quality of the doors is, and my son who installed the doors said they are as easy to install as any other doors he has installed, which includes the other leading brands in the UK – I am glad we have found Alutech, they provide an efficient and friendly service which makes all the difference”. Roy finished by stating: “We are tired of offering the same brands as all our competitors because every time we quote a door, the clients say they have already received a brochure and prices for XYZ Sectional doors, and it becomes a price war, Alutech provide a different option”.
