Did You Know?

See 2 examples of the equipment here. Double glazed doors and windows, composite materials. The word 'Composite' is used to refer to doors and windows that are made up of more than one material. The latest innovations in our industry for composite are: For windows mainly, aluminium outdoors for strength and rigidity, and available in a variety of finishes, including colours, with wood on the indoors, for aesthetics and enhanced insulation. For doors mainly, a polystyrene/wood core, with PVC-U outer and inner skins. Although relatively expensive compared to a PVC-U door, this new breed is pretty upper class, in as much as it looks good, is strong and versatile, and exceptionally secure, but expect to put your hand in you pocket that much more deeply. Important, I am referring to beautiful quality products here, in the order of £1000 for a door and frame, and NOT about some of the 'too cheap' tacky imitations I have been unfortunate enough to have set eyes on. Composite doors. The popularity of composite doors has swept through the industry and has left many fabricators wondering how best to take advantage of this new and growing market. One manufacturer, Benchmark Doors Ltd has developed a unique composite door leaf in partnership with Eurocell Profiles Ltd. The two companies have worked closely together to develop a 60mm ABS grained skinned door leaf that looks like a timber door and has the high performance associated with its rebated PVC cousin. The door leaf is extremely versatile and is available made to measure in a choice of sixteen styles and seven vibrant colours. Eurocell Contract 60 fabricators have the freedom to create their own suite without the need to invest in new machinery, hardware or profile. Each door leaf is individually crafted to meet the exact customer specification that insures minimum handling and optimum performance. The glazing of the door leaf is achieved with an Auto-Plas glazing cassette that allows replacement of the double glazed unit if required, without having to replace the whole door panel. The Evolution door is also available as a complete door set incorporating the latest in high performance hardware. Furthermore, Benchmark have recently invested in new door testing equipment in addition to their existing heat and UV resistance test facilities, to ensure that the composite doors are manufactured to the highest standards.           Composite Windows This picture shows a cross section of a composite window frame. The materials are aluminium on the outside and PVC-U indoors. This is one of the types of composite available from the AM Profiles range. Another one from the AM profiles stable, this time aluminium on the outside with timber inside. It is a shame that they do not seem to have their own website, but I do have an email address for them: This picture shows a composite front door. It really looks very much like a wooden door and part of the reason for this is that the mould was originally taken from a very old real wood door, faults and all. The make up of the door is: laminated timber sub-frame, mineral reinforced foam core, and vacuum formed thermoplastic skins. The outer frame is PVC-U. See, you don't have to have 'plastic', but expect to dig very deep in your pocket if you think about having these as an alternative to PVC-U.
