DOORCO, the leading UK composite doormanufacturer is delighted to announce the reduction in the lead times forpainted doors from its UK facility, with one side painted doors now availablein just five days.

 “Colour makes up around 60% of our sales atDOORCO”, comments Jayne Sullivan, Operations Director at DOORCO. “With thislevel of demand comes complexity, as an increasing palette of colours arerequired by our customers as quickly as possible."

As part of our strategicinvestment plan to ensure we remained responsive to our customers’ needs, inMarch this year we choose to invest in a purpose-built Turn-Key paint solutionfrom Schubert’s. 

The Schubox® has provided DOORCO with a technologicallyadvanced approach to supplying customers of all sizes with the highest quality,consistent custom finishes. Both solvent and water-based substrates react well,so not only have we noticed significant improvements in quality, but the uniqueinfra-red drying process has dramatically reduced drying times.

 “We no longer struggle with the bottle-neckthat the painting process often causes and this has enabled us to speed up thepainting process and therefore the time in which we can deliver to ourcustomers. We can therefore now make the commitment to a reduced turnaround onpainted doors – one sided painted doors are now available on a five-dayturnaround, while double painted doors and stained doors can be delivered injust seven.

Whether it’s a one-off prepped door,single or mixed pallets, being able to improve delivery times on colour is agreat accolade to the commitment made providing excellent products and serviceand we will continuing to make improvements of this nature features at the coreof what we do."
