Ben Brocklesby, Director at Origin, the UK’s leading manufacturer of aluminium windows and doors, shares his advice for standing out in a crowded market.
Today’s market is a competitive one. Builders and housebuilders are constantly having to seek new ways to differentiate themselves to homeowners that have a growing desire for modern aesthetics that don’t compromise on performance. They are no longer satisfied with ‘standard’. This is where Origin’s latest product, the innovative OB-36+ can help set your offering apart from the rest
The OB-36+ isn’t just another door. Its sleek bi-fold, French and single door design is underpinned by two 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.
Thermal Efficiency
Origin understands that homeowners aren’t just prioritising aesthetics; they are also focussed on performance. It’s no surprise then that our internal R&D team has designed the OB-36+ to boast superior thermal performance, exceeding the requirements of the 2025 Future Homes Standard a year early, with U-Values as low as 0.8 W/m2K. This will keep household bills low and be a selling point when discussing new build properties with potential buyers.
Unmatched Security and Safety
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.
Fully Bespoke
All of Origin’s products are made bespoke in the UK from the highest-grade aluminium to customer’s exact specifications. This means homebuilders can choose the size, configuration, colour, and hardware that best suits the home’s style, requirements, and spatial needs. With over 150 RAL colours to choose from and almost endless configuration possibilities, customers can easily design a product to match every property type, from the ultra-modern to heritage.
Together, these elements create a world-leading bi-folding door that can be specified with confidence to offer something different, and better, than the competition.
