BRAND EVOLVES WITH FIT SHOW LAUNCH
OF ALUMINIUM BI-FOLDING DOOR
When we first launched Korniche at the FIT Show 2017 I will never forget the
gentleman, who walked past our stand and remarked to his colleague, “it’s just
another lantern”. I gave chase to explain to him the innovative features that meant
it really wasn’t “just another lantern” and this year it is most definitely not…
» » OVER THE PAST 12
months our Korniche brand
has evolved and it’s becoming a
collective name for a family of
products which will all possess
the FASTER, STRONGER,
WARMER and SLIMMER
DNA.
This year at FIT Show, as well
as the award-winning Aluminium
Lantern Roof, we officially
launched the all new Korniche
Aluminium Bi-Folding Door.
Just like the lantern we’ve
gone back to basics, thrown the
bi-folding door design guide out
of the window, challenged the
industry norms and put together
an entirely new system with all
the features and USPs we’d like
to see in a class leading bi-folding
door.
We’ve looked hard from the
eyes of the consumer, the installer,
the reseller, and also from a
manufacturing point of view;
making sure the end result has
maximum appeal to the whole
chain and can stand side by side
with the lantern as the ‘go to’
product in its category.
FASTER means less time on site,
instantly reducing project costs,
but faster is also ease of fit as well
as outright speed. Easy installation
is becoming increasingly
important as the skills pool
becomes shallower, and a ‘simple
fit’ opens up supply opportunities
for multiple trades.
• The best packaging in the
industry with everything
included – all the parts
needed to fit the door
all expertly wrapped
to practically eliminate
damages.
• Fully assembled doors – fit,
glaze and go.
• Full colour installation guide
– simple step-by-step guide
takes guesswork out of the
install.
• Pre-drilled mounting holes –
ideally placed for every size.
• Clip Bead – true clip in
pre-gasketed composite
bead means the doors can
be glazed in seconds and
replacement of units is a
breeze with our dedicated
tool.

STRONGER means exceptional
resistance to loads, like weather,
in-service loads and resisting
unwanted visitors.
• Fully optimised profiles and
components – extensive
stress analysis means material
only where it’s needed.
• Sashes up to 1300w x
2500h
• Crimped and PUR bonded
corners – a step change in
corner jointing technology
• PAS 24 as standard – 3-star
Yale cylinders, FUHR locks
and a suite of in-house
designed hardware provides
high resistance to unwanted
attacks.
WARMER for high thermal
efficiency and class leading sealing
technology.
• One Piece Welded Gaskets
– with concealed hinges
we have removed potential
leakage areas where gaskets
meet.
• Bespoke hollow seals coupled
with Q-lon - industry
leading sealing technology
with no reliance on
silicone.
• Deep thermally broken
profile – bigger breaks means
better U-values.
SLIMMER means low sightlines
and a clean uncluttered
aesthetic.
• Ultra-low threshold in all
configurations – whether
open in, open out, integrated
or mounted cill options
• No floating mullion on
any door configuration and
dedicated slimline closer
profile – minimises build-up
of sightline across the door
set
• Fully concealed hinges and
guides
• Truly flush combination
shootbolt handles – Great
looks with no need for an
additional D-handle
• Flush mitre corner joining
technology – elimination of
unsightly steps in the sash
and frame corners
