Could the surge in stable door sales have something to do with the rapid rise of pet ownership in the UK?
The Covid-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for change. Not least for those who have chosen this time to welcome a new pet into their home.
Data published by the Pet Food Manufacturers’ Association (PFMA) in March 2021 stated that 3.2 million households had acquired a pet since the start of the pandemic. The UK pet population is now 34 million, including 12 million cats and 12 million dogs.
But what on earth has pet ownership got to do with composite door sales, I hear you ask? Well, perhaps nothing but consider the stable door and all that it has to offer these new pet owners.
The flexibility of the upper and lower half door configuration offers ventilation and natural light, alongside privacy and security. The joy for dog owners, of course, is that the lower door can remain closed to prevent the animal leaving or entering the property, while retaining all the associated benefits of an open door.
“Commonly chosen as a back door, the stable door balances practicality with countryside style.”
