We’re an approved Premium Partner for Grand Designs Magazine

To self-builders, interior designers, and architects across the UK, Grand Designs is the pinnacle of British home design. From unthinkable feats of engineering to showstopping designs that turn even the most eccentric of heads, the nation’s best-loved self-build brand has captured the nation’s hearts for more than 25 years – including ours. And we’re incredibly proud to play a part in this journey. 

Following a trio of successful collaborations on the iconic television series, Deuren has officially achieved Premium Partner status for the accompanying magazine. So, how did we reach this point of distinction? And what does it mean for our growing client base? Here, we share everything you need to know.

Our history with Grand Designs

By pushing the boundaries of design and engineering, Deuren has earned its reputation as the UK’s authority on bespoke doors. We blend meticulous craftsmanship, limitless creativity, and more than two decades of experience to make our clients’ dream doors a reality. But nothing shows the extent of what we’re capable of quite like our inimitable contributions to some of Grand Designs’ most iconic builds over the years.

From spiralling architecture inspired by ammonite shells to breathtaking cliff-top retreats built to withstand the elements, and even curved glass homes that stretch architecture beyond its limits, we’ve elevated some truly standout designs throughout our tenure. Some boast flawlessly functional doors that blend effortlessly into the flow of the home, while others shine out with steel statement pieces that imbue a sleek industrial style from the kerb to the core. For one project, we even handcrafted bespoke wall panelling to match the home’s bold architectural lines. Because when you work with Deuren, anything really is possible.

What it means to be a Premium Partner

While not directly connected to our previous collaborations, this step represents a crucial chapter in our relationship with Grand Designs Magazine. As a Premium Partner, Deuren is officially recognised as a marker of excellence in our industry. 

This is a paid endorsement with associated promotional opportunities, placing us in front of a highly motivated audience of self-builders, renovators, and home improvers seeking multiplatform inspiration to help realise Grand Designs of their own. In turn, we can equip this much-loved read with additional expert resources to make the audience’s journey easier.

However, achieving Premium Partner status is no small feat. It’s important to note the stringent criteria organisations must meet to receive such a coveted endorsement. Candidates are carefully selected by the magazine’s editorial and publishing team, required to align closely with its ethos: trustworthy expertise, quality products, and an eco-conscious track record.

Backed by strong customer testimonials, along with evidence of our sustainability and business ethics policies, we were delighted to pass the screening process. And now, we stand among elite specialist names including Bosch Thermotechnology Ltd, IDSystem, Moneywatch Finance, and The Wall Lighting Company.

How this benefits our clients

As a Premium Partner, we bring the same dedication to your project as we’ve demonstrated in Grand Designs builds we’ve proudly supported. Choosing Deuren means choosing a trusted brand, endorsed by a leading authority on self-build, construction, architecture, and sustainability. More importantly, we have the track record to prove it.

We’ve delivered exceptional doors that combine flawless functionality, technical excellence, and aesthetic beauty to some of the UK’s most impressive projects. And as a British manufacturer, quality and reliability are embedded throughout every corner of our operations.

By keeping all manufacturing under one roof – with local artisans working side by side at our Yorkshire workshop – we maintain complete control over quality, from inspiration to installation. The result? Faster turnaround times and increased oversight, with no middlemen, overseas suppliers, or distribution challenges.

But that’s not all. With materials sourced locally and travelling shorter transportation distances, you benefit from reduced transportation costs and a lower carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable project. Plus, our expert installation services ensure a seamless fit and can help you save on on-site labour costs, streamlining the entire process from start to finish.

Breathe life into your biggest, boldest ambitions

Hot on the heels of launching our new-look brand, this is an exciting step for Deuren. As well as solidifying our commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability, it represents the lengths and breadths we go to for our clients to bring the most extravagant visions to life. Whether you’re dreaming of doors that defy gravity, curve around impossible angles, or blend art with engineering in a way no one thought possible, we remove the limits of traditional made to measure doors to put your biggest ambitions in the driving seat. And that’s certainly something to be proud of.
