‘INTELLIGENT-TIMBER’
COMPOSITE DOOR
» » SLIDERS UK HAS
launched its new PAS24 and Part
Q approved ‘intelligent timber’
Ultimate Composite Door.
Among the UK’s most secure
doors, it’s manufactured using
the new Capstone leaf which
features 15mm thick LVL timber
inserts.
Intelligently encased inside
a foam core and durable GRP
skin, these provide additional
core strength without impacting
on thermal efficiency.
This combination means that
it not only achieves U-values of
as low as 1.0Wm2.K, but has
also been independently tested
to PAS24:2016 - including cut-
through testing.
Security is further enhanced
through Capstone’s patented
three stage glazing cassette
system, which supports easy
replacement of glass but
maximizes security.
This technically advanced
combination of timber inserts
and thermally insulating foam
also significantly reduces bowing,
which means that the Ultimate
Composite Door is supplied
by Sliders UK with just a 3mm
bowing tolerance.
Door furniture and hardware
is Trojan, while standard hinges
and locks are manufactured
by Ingenious, with heritage
and auto-locking options from
Winkhaus. Door cylinders
are six-pin anti-drill and pick
as standard with the UKAS
accredited 3-star BSI TS007
tested Ingenious cylinder, also
available as an upgrade option.
Glass options include a
choice of double or triple-glazed
options, achieving U-Values as
low as 1.0Wm2.K including
laminated and toughened
options.
Available in lead times of
5-days or less, standard colours
are black, red, blue, green, Gold
Oak and Rosewood, while a
range of premium finishes are
also available.
This is combined with a choice
of standard or colour matched,
fully reinforced Duraflex and
Eurocell 70mm PVC-U outer
frames and slim, low line
aluminium thresholds with twin
seals. Both Duraflex and Eurocell
framed doors have been tested to
PAS24:2016.
Palmer suggests that
composite doors now account
for 50% of the entrance door
market, the share rising to 54%
by installed value with the
inclusion of PVC/ABS faced
doors.
The Market for Domestic
Entrance Doors 2017 edition
also forecasts a 22% increase in
composite door sales through to
2020.
