Gerda Doors, Supplied and Installed by SteelR
SteelR supplies and installs the Gerda residential door collection: three ranges, 104 different designs (many are offered in more than one range), thirteen standard colours and woodgrains, and security rated to RC2 or RC3 under EN 1627.
Gerda has been operating since 1987, and these ranges are built at its plant in Starachowice, Poland. A Gerda door is selected from a catalogue. You pick a range for its thermal performance and locking, a design, a colour and the hardware. The door is then made to your opening in 10 mm steps, within a set range of widths and heights.
This page sets out the three ranges side by side, with every design shown on the range pages.
Three ranges
Choose by thermal performance and locking
All three are made in the same widths and share the same colours, glass and hardware finishes. The number in each name is the thickness of the door leaf in millimetres.

Figures are taken from the UK brochure for each range. RC classes are defined in EN 1627. The RC grade (2 or 3 under EN 1627) depends on door size and design. Gerda offers RC3 as a package on solid doors, so the grade is confirmed for your chosen design at quotation. Heights exclude the 27 mm sill and any extensions, and include the low threshold. Sizes are made in 10 mm increments; the available width and height depend on the design and colour. Thermo Prime 75 doors over 2200 mm are not tested for security or weather resistance.

Questions
Gerda doors: common questions
Are Gerda doors steel doors?
Gerda doors have an insulated leaf with a metal face over a timber inner frame, rather than a solid steel construction. Gerda describes the Optima leaf as steel, and it has an expanded graphite polystyrene core. Thermo Premium 75 uses the same core in a 75 mm leaf, and Thermo Prime 75 uses a PUR foam core. All three are made at Gerda's plant in Starachowice, Poland.
What Gerda doors does SteelR supply?
SteelR supplies and installs three Gerda residential door ranges: Optima 60, Thermo Premium 75 and Thermo Prime 75. Between them there are 104 different designs across the Tempo, Quadro, Air Glass, Elite 3D and Classic series. Many designs are offered in more than one range: Optima 60 has 44, Thermo Premium 75 has 71 and Thermo Prime 75 has 63.
Which Gerda range has the best thermal performance?
In the UK range brochures Thermo Prime 75 has the lowest U-values: 0.79 W/m²K for a solid door and 0.9 W/m²K glazed. Thermo Premium 75 is 0.8 and 1.1 W/m²K. Optima 60 is 1.0 and 1.3 W/m²K. A lower figure means less heat lost through the door.
What security rating do Gerda doors have?
Optima 60 and Thermo Premium 75 are rated RC2 or RC3 under the European burglary resistance standard EN 1627, depending on door size and design. RC3 is a package that Gerda offers on solid doors. Thermo Prime 75 is rated RC2. For a higher rating, SteelR bespoke doors are certified to BS EN 1627 RC4 (single leaf, unglazed) as standard, with LPS 1175 SR3 and SR4 available.
What is the difference between a Gerda door and a SteelR bespoke door?
A Gerda door is selected from a catalogue of designs and made in 10 mm steps within a set range of sizes, mostly 840 to 1130 mm wide and 1950 to 2200 mm high. A SteelR bespoke door is designed and made to measure for one opening, including double and arched doors, in any RAL colour and at higher security ratings.
What sizes do Gerda doors come in?
Most designs are made from 840 to 1130 mm wide and 1950 to 2200 mm high, in 10 mm increments. Classic designs are 920 to 1030 mm wide and up to 2100 mm high. Most Air Glass designs have a fixed height of 2087 mm. Thermo Prime 75 can reach 2400 mm in selected colours and designs. Side lights and top lights are available for wider or taller openings.
What colours do Gerda doors come in?
There are thirteen standard finishes: White, Steel Grey, Anthracite, Dark Anthracite, Black, Alpine Walnut, Mahogany, Brazilian Walnut, Light Walnut, Golden Oak, Winchester, Turner Oak and Light Wenge. Black Matt, Silk Anthracite, Red, Pistachio, Light Blue, Light Green, Blue, Dark Green, Cobalt Blue and the RAL colour range are also available. The inside and outside can be different colours.
Can a Gerda door have a smart lock?
Yes. A tedee smart lock with its bridge can be added to all three ranges (tedee PRO on Thermo Prime 75). It lets you lock, unlock and check the door from a phone. A keypad with PIN and fingerprint entry is also available.
How long does a Gerda door take?
Lead time depends on the range, design and colour, and is confirmed in writing with your quotation.
