Continual investment in product development is key to us here at Latham’s. We recognise the importance of keeping our industry leading products at the forefront of the latest technologies and advancements in security.

Last year was a pivotal year for us, with the phased introduction of our latest door models throughout 2019, we’re proud to say 2020 sees the official launch of our improved range. We also worked hard to achieve ISO9001, ISO45001 and ISO4001 certification, ensuring our commitment to a minimum standard of quality for our products, systems and procedures.

Our investment in research and development has enabled us to make the following improvements which you can now find across our stock door products:
