A new kitchen door range being added to our Avanti off-the-shelf collection is to be manufactured in-house instead of being imported from Europe.
The Juno range, are so-called 'skinny shakers' - a modern twist on the traditional Shaker-style door but with thinner stiles that are already proving very popular in the Aspire made-to-measure collection.
Marketing and Business Development Director, Dan Mounsey, says: "We've had Brexit, the pandemic and now the state of the economy, which makes the exchange rate between sterling and the Euro very volatile. Add in logistics, the cost of fuel, lead times, and the availability of materials; bringing in doors from the continent ticks a lot of the wrong boxes.
"Taking into the account those pressures; we've decided to manufacture in-house."
Based on our Mercia door in the Aspire made-to-measure range, the Juno feature a 60mm slim profile and will be available in a choice of four super matt décors; black, dust grey, highland green and indigo blue - all on-trend colours and all available for nationwide next-day delivery.
Each range is available in approximately 60 SKUs, including doors, drawer fronts, end panels, cornices, plinths and filler panels in a wide variety of popular sizes, and all available to order online.
Dan adds: "Because we're manufacturing in-house, there will be a made-to-measure option as well, which will make this range unique and extremely versatile.
"So, for example, customers can order 90 per cent of what they need off the shelf and then have the rest made-to-measure. Overall, it creates great versatility."
As with the other doors in the Avanti range, the Juno will be undrilled as standard, but a bespoke hinge hole drilling service is available with the usual one-day lead time.
We first introduced our Avanti stock door in 2011 and we've seen it evolve over the years to keep pace with changing trends and fashions.
The current range consists of:
- Alto: a modern interpretation of the classic Shaker-style door
- Legno: which comes with an integrated J-Pull handle and horizontal grained door style
- Opus: available in matt white or a range of high gloss finishes with an integrated J-Pull handle
- Quadro: a classic Shaker-style door with grained painted effect décors
Sales Manager Chris Essex says: "This will continue the growth for the Avanti range, which has been a great success since we launched it in 2011. It makes a significant contribution to the business and always has done.
"The Juno is going to do really well because it is very much on-trend with the demand for matt colours and the slim shaker style. In a stock door range, you want to have something for everyone, but that can't always be so, which is why we have the made-to-measure facility. This new door is taking the range where it needs to go to keep the Avanti success on track."
