We appreciate your continued support and look forward to strengthening our partnership. Should you have any questions or require assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team.

Masonite aims to wrap up Nicedor by the end of Q1 of this year. The closing of Nicedor sees a reduction in the choice of PVCu door panels in the market.

Door panels have been a shrinking part of the sector ever since composite doors took hold. There remain a few companies that continue to offer PVCu panels, but it is a signal that this is still a shrinking market.

What will be interesting to see is if this forces customers of Residor and Solidor to look elsewhere for their needs or whether they in turn choose to stop offering panels to their own clients.
