The common theme is quality. Vantage entrance doors are built to last with low maintenance, enhanced stability, security and thermal efficiency. What’s more, they are widely available wherever you live, thanks to a network of almost 40 manufacturers nationwide. So make your statement with Vantage Windows & Doors.

Why choose our expertly designed entrance doors We have three entrance door ranges; Core, Prime and Plus. We pride ourselves on offering reliable performance, durability and the ability to customise across all ranges. Your local manufacturer can help find the right entrance door option for you.

Core entrance doors Ⓒ Core entrance doors are a popular option for homeowners nationwide, they encompass the quality, reliability and good-looks that we have built a reputation for delivering. These doors offer thermal performance, extensive configurations and customisation options.

Prime entrance doors Ⓜ Prime entrance doors offer enhanced thermal performance for a more comfortable home. This range allows for a thicker foam inner core, reducing heat transfer and providing a step up in thermal performance from our Core range.

Plus entrance doors Ⓟ Upgrade to a Plus entrance door for a difference you can feel. The Plus range of doors is our most thermally efficient option and is available in a comprehensive selection of our most popular styles. Now, you can achieve a new level of thermal performance with an R-Value increase of 28%* when you upgrade from a Core to a Plus range door. These doors incorporate a larger polyamide thermal insulator, dual seals and a wider solid high density foam core which all work together to reduce heat loss and improve weatherproofing for a difference you can feel. The Plus range is only compatible with the latest ThermalHeart+® frames. *R-Value increase is based on a direct product comparison with a Latitude Core door, configuration LAT00, 2150 x 960mm.

Benefits Low maintenance

Constructed from aluminium for reliability and high performance under a range of weather conditions, our doors are easy to clean and require little upkeep to keep them in top condition

Thermal efficiency

The solid, premium grade foam inner core, combined with the polyamide thermal insulator, prevents the transfer of hot and cold temperatures for greater thermal efficiency for your home

Improved thermal performance

The combination of a thicker inner core and a larger polyamide thermal insulator in Prime and Plus entrance doors further reduces the transfer of hot and cold temperatures to deliver greater thermal efficiency

Colour options

Ⓟ

Euro groove technology in Plus doors allows for taller doors to have additional points of engagement throughout the door, enhancing security. This also ensures the full height of the door is sealed

Our doors are expertly designed and built to last with the latest manufacturing technologies for maximum strength and stability, with little risk of the door swelling and warping in damp conditions

ⓂⓅ

Using the colourfast technology with powdercoating, we have a wide selection of up-to-date colour and finish options available. The dual colour option allows you to choose different colours for both sides of your door to match the look of your internal and external colour schemes

Improved weatherproofing

Ⓟ

Plus doors are designed with an overlapping frame which allows for dual seals; one being the traditional seal at the exterior edge in the frame, and then a secondary seal where the interior frame overlaps with the inside of the door panel further reducing air movement between outside and inside

Larger panel size capability

Ⓟ

The Plus range employs more robust internal framing and a thicker foam inner core which increases the structural integrity and rigidity of the Plus doors, allowing for larger maximum sizes to be produced

What is an R-Value?

R-values refer to a material’s ability to limit heat transfer, or thermal resistance. The higher the R-value the better thermal resistance the product will provide. For the ultimate in thermal performance, the whole window system needs to work together to deliver thermal efficiency.

Surface finishing An entrance door can make any statement you like, which is why we offer a large range of colours and finishes to help you create just the right look. From subtle and understated to bold and distinctive, there are options to complement a wide range of architectural styles and personal tastes.

Standard Note: the images you'll see on the following pages demonstrate just a few of the combinations that are possible. Speak to your local manufacturer about the available options to achieve your ideal design.

How to choose the right surface finish? It is important that you choose the right product for the right application to ensure the life of your surface finish, and in some cases that your entrance door is covered under warranty.

Location Some locations such as coastal or industrial locations require a higher grade finish. Your manufacturer will be able to advise you on suitable options.

Palette Look at the palette of your home as a whole – you could choose a colour from this or choose one that makes a statement.

Dual colour All of our doors are available in dual colour, with the exception of the Slimline and Commercial Plasma. This means you can match the look of your internal and external colour schemes, rather than having to pick one look for both sides of your door.

Exposure Is your door exposed to prolonged direct sunlight? Refer to the bowing and heat note on page 45.

Swatch test

Negative Detail Colour Appliance White Hardware Yale 143 pull handle with Apex turn set Configuration PLA04

When you are choosing door colours, always assess swatches in natural light. Visit your local manufacturer to see samples.

What are the options? Powdercoating Powdercoating is a baked-on coating that’s tough and durable. As standard, our doors are coated in Protexture™. We have all of the Dulux powdercoat colours on offer, as well as more specific finishes. Please ask your manufacturer for a colour brochure to see our full range of powdercoat options, including our range of popular colours.

Protexture™ A low sheen, textured surface finish highly resistant to marking and scuffing – specifically for use on entrance doors. Protexture™ is available in a wide range of colours and offers a 15-year film and colour integrity warranty. Feel the Protexture™ finish on page 45. Note: there is a small number of colours supplied in the Duralloy Mannex Textured Range. This finish comes with a 10-year aluminium Durability Warranty and a 10-year aluminium Colour Warranty. Please speak with your manufacturer for the list of colours.

Intensity There are six bold bright Matt colours in this Dulux Duratec range, ensuring excellent colour retention and are exceptionally hard wearing. The Dulux Duratec Intensity range offers a 15-year film and colour integrity warranty.

Glass Plasma colours Glass Plasma doors are coloured with an opaque Colourback finish which gives a vivid, gloss look. There is a wide range of pre-set gloss colours to choose from or you can custom match to a colour from another source.

Woodgrain finish This unique application gives the appearance of natural wood, with all the benefits of an aluminium door. The sublimated print replicates several popular woodgrain options. Our woodgrain finish offers a 10-year film and colour integrity warranty.

Special effects We can create a range of specialised finishes that replicate metallics. Liquid metal finishes are also available with Plasma doors, refer to pg. 44 for more information. Speak to your local manufacturer about the effect you’d like to achieve and what options are available.

▶ Visit your local manufacturer for full colour range details and swatches.

Premium finish for Plasma doors In collaboration with Elemental Finishes, a New Zealand-owned specialist in liquid metal surfaces, APL Plasma entrance doors are now available with a series of unique finishes with strong architectural presence, designed for projects where design, durability and details matter.

Colour Forged Dark Aged Bronze by Elemental Finishes Hardware Porta Solo pull handle Configuration PLA00 with sidelights (Image is a render of Plasma Plus)

Bowing and heat ■ Dark colours may not be suitable for doors that are exposed to prolonged direct sunlight as this may cause the outer surface of the door to become hot to touch, so careful consideration needs to be made when choosing your entrance door colour/s. ■ Doors with a thermal polyamide strip built into them may experience slight temporary bowing due to the difference in temperature between the inside and outside of the door, especially when exposed to direct sunlight. We stress that this is only a temporary effect and the door will revert back to its normal shape as the aluminium cools. This may occur primarily with dark colours, so can be minimised by selecting lighter external colours or increasing cover over the door area.

Protexture™ Surface Finish Feel the finish on this door to give you an indication of this durable surface finish. It will feel and look slightly different to powdercoating on the windows and doors in the rest of your home.
