Patent approval adds to bi-fold ’ s credentials
Epwin Window Systems has received full patent approval for the adjustable locking stile on its Stellar Aluminium Slimline Bifold Door .
» NEVILLE GLEED , Technical Development Manager at Epwin Window Systems , said : “ Securing full patent approval for the adjustable locking stile is another significant milestone for Stellar . This achievement reinforces our ongoing commitment to delivering advanced design solutions that give our customers a competitive advantage in a crowded market .”
The patented adjustable slimline locking stile enhances the door ’ s aesthetics . At the same time , its fine-tune adjustment between the lock and the keep assists with the setting of the door during manufacturing and installation . It also eliminates the need for adjustable door jambs that complicate installation and affect thermal performance .
The adjustable locking stile is one of a number of benefits that set the Stellar Slimline Bifold Door apart and deliver an impressive level of thermal efficiency and aesthetic appeal . It results in a bifold door that meets and exceeds the demands of modern building standards and customer expectations .
The Stellar Slimline Bifold Door meets the requirements of the 2022 Part L Building Regulations , achieving a U-value of 1.4W / m ² K with 28mm double glazing and 1.0W / m ² K with 44mm triple glazing .
This is achieved through features including innovative thermal break technology that has low thermal conductivity , which ensures exceptional insulation . It also benefits from tailed glazing gaskets and an under-glass seal which breaks up the cavities behind and under the glass to further enhance its thermal performance .
Aesthetically , the slimline locking stile puts all the focus on the view . And the knock-in glazing beads are easier to install and give a cleaner finish , further enhancing the door ’ s visual appeal .
Like all Stellar products , the bifold door is available in a wide range of Qualicoatapproved standard and non-standard RAL colours . The product is backed by a 25-year marine-grade surface paint finish guarantee for installations located within 5km of the coastline , and a 10-year guarantee for locations between 50 metres and 5km from the coast . The system is also PAS24:2022 accredited .
