Origin’s OB-36+ isn’t just another door, it’s a sleek bi-fold, French and single door system underpinned by two unique aesthetics. The Soho features sought-after steel-look glazing bars, which instantly elevate the exterior of any property, whilst the Contemporary offers a sleek, modern impression.
But it isn’t just about looks. The new exterior door has been engineered to meet the demands of the UK market, achieving unbeatable U-Values as low as 0.78 W/m2K. Its use of sophisticated weathertight seals ensures the elements stay out, keeping rooms cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s cold outside, ultimately reducing energy bills.
Peace of mind is paramount, and homeowners deserve to feel safe in their property. The OB-36+ delivers on this promise with a robust, unique 8-point locking system and a 3-star British Standard Kitemark locking barrel. Together, these two elements offer unparalleled security against forced entry, including picking, bumping, and drilling.
Alongside security, safety is critical. The OB-36+ is child-proof and features finger-safe gaskets to prevent fingers from getting trapped when the doors are closing. This ensures the whole family will remain safe.
All of Origin’s products are made bespoke in the UK from the highest-grade aluminium, ensuring they meet the exact specifications of every customer. This means homebuilders can choose the size, configuration, colour, and hardware that best suits the home’s style and requirements. With over 150 RAL colours to choose from and almost endless configuration possibilities, customers can design a product to match their property, from the ultra-modern to heritage.
Plus, like all Origin products, the new External Door comes with an industry-leading guarantee of up to 20 years. Built to last, the OB-36+ provides housebuilders and homebuyers with complete confidence in their investments.
