VEKA Gives Its 'Design A Door' Feature To Customers

Industry-leading system supplier, VEKA has rolled out its ‘design a door’ software for customers to use within their own websites.

This technically-advanced, bespoke software was designed for VEKA at a cost of several thousand pounds, but it is now being offered to valued customers completely free of charge.

The interactive design a door feature allows homeowners to design their own VEKA Composite Door System to suit the style of their home. Users can even upload a picture of their house to preview what the door would look like, before committing to anything.

The design a door feature will be a great sales lead generator for VEKA customers as Pat Parry, VEKA's Composite Door Manager explains: "The design a door feature is an excellent benefit for our composite door customers, as not only will it allow them to attract customers to their site to design a door direct with them, but it will also save them the several thousand pounds that the software costs."

Wickford-based, Grovewood of Essex Ltd, added the software to its website in August, and has already seen a growing number of sales leads. Sales Manager Paul Chandler said: "We've found that design a door is a great, easy to use system and we're really grateful for the leads it's given us."

Design a door allows users to design their ideal door with features including: door design, colour, glazing options and hardware, such as knockers, handles and letterboxes.
