NXT-GEN IS THE BEST DOOR SLAB ON THE MARKET
»»
ASTRASEAL GROUP IS ONE OF THE UK’ s largest PVC-u and aluminium window, door and conservatory manufacturers and operates in the trade, commercial and retail sectors. The Group is also one of Distinction Doors’ longest-standing customers. Astraseal recently introduced the nxt-gen composite door to its portfolio and the company is delighted with the move. Karl Cornwell and Andy Gailey, Production Managers at Astraseal, deliver the same verdict:“ It’ s the best door slab that we have worked with.” Karl and Andy are keen to highlight the production efficiencies of nxt-gen, the positive reaction in the marketplace and the strength of Distinction’ s marketing support.
Andy says Astraseal, which manufactures around 15,000 Distinction doors a year, including fire doors, signature and nxt-gen doors, ensures its manufacturing efficiencies are at their best.“ With nxt-gen there are so many benefits from a production point of view,” he says.“ The product is extremely easy to manufacture with considerably less waste.”
Astraseal has been a loyal customer of Distinction Doors for many years. With the introduction of nxt-gen to its portfolio and the added value benefits the product offers, the relationship has become even stronger. www. distinctiondoors. co. uk
FIRST FIRE DOOR INSTALLATION COMPLETED
»»
WITH A WELL-ESTABLISHED reputation for helping customers break into new markets, experienced trade and commercial fabricator Astraseal has helped Surrey-based installers Richmond Windows complete its first fire door installation.
Not only did Astraseal help specify the right product, the Wellingborough-based fabricator sent one of their own surveyors to assist in what turned out to be a complicated survey. Once the door was delivered, Astraseal’ s engineers joined the Richmond team on site to show the fitters exactly how the fire door needs to be installed, and the correct materials to use.
Astraseal offers a complete range of firerated products including FD30 and FD60 fire doors. Not only do both solutions comply with FIRAS assessment, PAS24 and Approved Document Q, the FD60 fire door is manufactured using the highly-durable FireFrame from Winkhaus.
Astraseal enhanced the range last year by becoming the first fabricator to manufacture a 60-minute fixed fire window. Manufactured in both single and double fixed pane configurations using FireFrame, the 60-minute fire window joined Astraseal’ s RAUFERNO and Ecoframe uPVC 30-minute fire window system.
With one of the biggest portfolios in the industry, Astraseal has built a strong reputation for high-quality aluminium and uPVC products including windows, doors and conservatories.
