When engineering a new door product, it’s important to make it stand out from the crowd and with GRiPCORE technology we are pushing the boundaries. With safety and security in its DNA, GRiPCORE has been designed to overcome the issues consumers face with the current market offering and has been engineered to deliver a door that is stronger, more rigid & thermally stable than anything on the market. The new door is considered a premium upgrade to our standard foam-filled option, retaining DOORCO’s signature benefits when it comes to quality and service.
The engineering
GRiPCORE technology is a hybrid of modern and traditional materials and has been engineered to deliver a stronger, heavier and more robust door that will not crack, move or de-laminate. The structure consists of a unique matrix of cross laminated engineered timber and hardwood stiles and rails, pressed with DOORCO’s signature 4mm GRP skins. All of this results in a door that will not move/bow/twist more than 3mm – it is truly the most engineered door I have ever seen. We are so confident in the product and the engineering and investment behind it, we are covering the tolerance and product with a 10 Year Warranty which gives you and your customers confidence for years to come.

The DOORCO difference
In addition to the material benefits of GRiPCORE, it is backed up by DOORCO’s commitment to exceptional quality and service. The collective experience of our team applied at every stage of the development process, from the design to delivery, has made this new offering really outstanding. We’ve thought about every stage, right through to how our customers can incorporate GRiPCORE into their product portfolios with as much ease and as little investment as possible.
Keeping it simple
One of the key attributes of this development process is that GRiPCORE is available in a single size 914mm (44mm) blank. As the market demand and the ‘amazon-inspired next day delivery’ expectations (we as consumers are all guilty of) grows, stock can be a real headache, and one of the biggest challenges fabricators face. The simplicity of this single slab means you can make all required sizes and avoid complex ordering and costly storage. In addition, very little investment in tooling and machinery is required. DOORCO’s Just In Time (JIT) delivery and prepping services could simplify this even further.
The Premium offering
From April, GRiPCORE technology will be available in our most popular doors: 4 panel blank top and 6/4 combi used to make the majority of our traditional door styles, Farmhouse for cottage style doors and Flush, Monza II and Links for more contemporary styling. From these six basic products you can create a wide range different door designs, including some new door styles created specifically for GRiPCORE. We have new bespoke colours and glass designs, as well as a full marketing suite on its way too.
We are very excited about GRiPCORE’s potential. In an increasingly competitive marketplace, DOORCO is driven by innovating products and solutions that stand out from the crowd. GRiPCORE is testament to this and we anticipate it being a real game-changer, not just for DOORCO and our customers but the wider composite door market too.
