Why Vista Panels is the trusted supplier of social housing doors across the UK

At Vista Panels, we support the UK’s social housing sector with high-performance composite doorsets designed around safety, compliance and reliability. For over 30 years, we’ve been manufacturing secure, energy-efficient doors that housing associations, local authorities and installation partners trust to protect their residents and properties. Every doorset we produce is backed by rigorous testing, robust materials, and dependable lead times that help keep projects on track.

Raising the standard with PAS 24 and Secured by Design

Safety and security are paramount in social housing, which is why our Xtremedoor composite doors meet the most recognised benchmarks in the industry.

Our PAS 24 and Secured by Design (SBD) accredited doors have been independently tested to resist forced entry, impact, and manipulation, ensuring long-lasting protection against unauthorised access.

These enhanced security standards give residents and housing providers peace of mind, knowing that every Vista door is built to perform under pressure and exceed minimum compliance requirements.

Designed for social housing developments

Every social housing development has its own set of priorities, from new-build projects aiming to meet future building standards, to refurbishment schemes where durability and cost-efficiency are key. That’s why Vista Panels manufactures composite doorsets designed to meet the needs of every project type.

Our PAS 24 and SBD accredited composite doors combine strength, security and long-term performance. Manufactured with a robust 4mm GRP skin and advanced multi-point locking systems, they deliver maximum protection and thermal efficiency for modern social housing schemes.

With U-values well below 1.4 W/m²K, these doors help reduce household energy bills and support sustainability goals, while providing the strength and resilience required for high-traffic communal entrances and family homes alike.

Every door is available in a wide choice of colours, glazing options and hardware finishes, helping developments achieve both design consistency and kerb appeal.

Speed, service and reliability you can depend on

We know that speed of delivery and supply chain reliability are critical in social housing projects. That’s why Vista offers lead times as short as five working days on selected doorsets, helping contractors and housing providers stay on schedule without sacrificing quality.

All doors are manufactured at our UK facility in the Wirral using fully audited production processes, ensuring consistent output and dependable service from order to installation.

Trusted partnerships nationwide

We believe that strong partnerships are key to successful delivery. Over three decades, Vista has built long-term relationships with installation companies, trade counters, and fabricators supplying social housing providers across the UK.

By working closely with our partners, we help housing associations meet their compliance, safety and sustainability goals, supporting secure, efficient and comfortable living environments for residents.
