Door Leaf
Manufactured from two 1.5mm Galvanised* steel skins, folded and mechanically fixed to form a strong and rigid 45mm thick door leaf, filled with internal steel strengtheners and mineral wool for ultimate insulation. Anti-jemmy flanges to the leading edge of the leaf provide excellent jemmy resistance.
Frame
90mm frames are pressed from 2mm Galvanised steel to form a single rebated profile. Profiled headers form a smooth butt joint with the vertical posts and are joined together utilising strong M8 bolts to provide positive rigidity. The special fast fit frame is able to compensate for most irregularities in the opening with 8no threaded fixing adjusters per doorset. They permit a tolerance of up to 18mm on each side of the door. Shims and packers are not necessary making an extremely secure fix. Frames can be insulated if required.
Thermal performance
Tested and achieving a rating of 2.2W/m2K based on a door size of 1090mm x 2090mm WxH – values may vary slightly depending on size and finished colour of doorset.
Reduced U-value also available with Thermaguard Technology (Patent Pending).
Thresholds
DDA compliant 2mm stainless steel threshold bolted into the vertical frame posts. Available in outward opening, inward opening and ramped.
Seal
For optimum weather, thermal and acoustic performance, a tubular silicone/rubber is bonded into the frame rebate to ensure effective sealing of the door/frame gap.
Hardware
Door leaves are hung from 4no stainless steel hinges for smooth operation and optimum weather resistance. Security dog bolts secure the leaf into the frame if the hinges are attacked. Additional hardware includes a range of locks, latches, lever handles, panic hardware, closers and stays. On double doors, lever-action flush bolts can be installed within the leading edge of the inactive door leaf.
