Aben-dor External Door Blanks: Why they'll save you time and money
17 January 2022
There are many lengthy and intricate processes involved when manufacturing external solid timber doors; throw in your material and labour costs, and it could take up to a week to finish one timber door. We're sure the quality of the external doors you're manufacturing is simply the best, and your customers are thrilled every single time. But with timber prices rising and the production of doors becoming more expensive, a quicker and more cost-effective solution is just what you need.
That's where SDH comes in.
We've partnered with OH Panels in Denmark to bring you the Aben-dor range of External Door Blanks. By using one of our Aben-dor panels, not only will you save on material cost, but your production time can be halved, and labour cost minimised with a product that is thermally efficient and as sturdy as timber, so it's a win-win right?
Used by many leading joineries in the UK and Europe; the Aben-dor blanks are a competitive alternative to solid timber doors. With the removal of numerous processes during workshop manufacturing, it's clear that this is a solution guaranteed to reduce your costs and increase your profit margin while saving you time and providing high-quality results your customers will love.
Here's some front door inspiration from a few joiners that are already using our Aben-dor panels:
And what's even better is that with less remedial work required, these door blanks will provide a more stable and sturdier external door for your customer. On top of this, the aluminium sheet layers protect the panels from contraction and expansion occurring with wet weather, which in turn means the chance of required maintenance over time is considerably reduced. Meaning there's less work for you, and you've got a very happy customer with an external door they love that's sure to last the test of time.
Another incredible benefit to using the Aben-dor external panels is that they provide a more thermally efficient door than solid timber can provide. With protective layers throughout the panel, each door panel is properly insulated for the winter months keeping the heat in and cold out while remaining strong and sturdy with its aluminium sheets and insulated core. And there’s no need to add a hardwood lip to the Aben-dor panels, the panel allows for protection from ingress of water and moisture without the requirement of a lip, thus removing another process.
The Aben-dor panels provide the flexibility you need to produce an endless array of designs to suit customer requirements. So, whether your customer is looking for a traditional front door or a contemporary design that'll wow their neighbours, this panel allows you to create their dream door in less time.
Our door blanks are compatible with the range Qwood door glazing beads, door bolection moulds, and rain deflectors we stock. Meaning your manufacturing process can be even simpler, seamless, and cost-effective when combined with Qwood products. Alike Qwood, Aben-dor panels are FSC certfied so you know you'll be using a product that's responsibly soured and approved for use.
Easy to prime and paint, these door blanks will cut out the sanding and preparation processes you would normally do when manufacturing timber doors. The Aben-dor blanks are ready to prime and paint upon arrival, so once you've completed the cutouts, grooves, and rebating and fitting of beads and moulds, you can go ahead with priming and painting immediately, hassle-free!
There's nothing better than saving time and money, and the Aben-dor panels are a versatile and effective alternative to timber that ticks all the boxes you need ticking to significantly reduce your costs and manufacturing time while enabling you to produce completely bespoke and unique external door designs for your customers.
