TRIPLE-TRACK TREND
STRONG IN NW
» » PATIOMASTER NORTH
West has reported strong sales
growth for Triple-track patio
doors in the last twelve months.
Phillip Cresswell, Sales and
Marketing Manager for the North
West PatioMaster division, said:
“The trend for wide apertures and
large expanses of glass has never
been stronger. We have seen a
constant demand for Triple-track
doors as installers take advantage
of the growth in the market from
homeowners looking to create
the open-house feel that is so on
trend and which a Triple-track
patio door can deliver.”
The Triple-track door offers
25% more open space compared
to a conventional sliding door and
has the option of having two or
four sliding sashes that stack neatly
behind each other when opened
without encroaching on the inside
or outside of the property. It has a
maximum aperture of six metres,
making it the perfect solution for
bigger projects. There’s also the
added benefit of having stainless
steel tracks that mean the doors
open in a smooth single motion
and have fewer moving parts than
on bifold doors.
The PVC-U construction and
the choice of 28 colours and
finishes, including grained and
flat textures, plus the choice
of white, gold, brass, chrome,
black or silver handles mean the
doors sit comfortably in more
UK homes. Installation has been
designed to be straightforward
and simple. Features such as
edge-located rollers mean easy
adjustment and the door system
works perfectly with standard cills
and frame packers. There is also a
mechanically jointed version for
hard to access locations.
PatioMaster North West is
based in Lancashire and serves
a wide area from North Wales
through Merseyside and all the
way up to Carlisle. Installers will
find the North West operation
a professional, knowledgeable
and friendly team who pride
themselves on the quality of the
patio doors they manufacture.
Phillip concludes: “As part of
the PatioMaster network we
have a commitment to providing
bespoke, precision made patio
doors. We offer a rapid order
turnaround with superb technical
and product support. And for
where additional peace of mind is
a requirement, we offer a Secured
by Design accredited door option
too. The Triple-track door is a
superb product and there has
been more consumer interest
in this product than anything
previously, so we are not surprised
that the demand for this product
continues to grow.”

UNLATCHED, NON-REBATED,
SINGLE-ACTING STEEL FIRE DOORS
» » A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF
unlatched, non-rebated, single-acting fire
doors is now available from leading European
steel specialist Schueco Jansen. These systems
offer a solution for every application,
including screens and partition walls.
All the systems have a sleek modern look
with slender profiles and slim sightlines and
all deliver a level of performance that is fully
tested and approved. A large glazed central
area – a feature that is common across all door
types – maximises light transmission and helps
to make the new doors as attractive to look at
as they are effective in use.
The Economy 60 door is a 60 mm
deep system which is available with either
30-minute or 60-minute integrity-only
protection against fire. Flush single- and
double-leaved doors, with optional side and
top lights, also make it ideal for internal fire-
rated partition walls.
Both the Janisol door systems are thermally
broken to ensure an excellent level of all-

round insulation, an important consideration
when sustainability and whole life costs are
mandated as factors in the brief. Their design
enables them to deliver protection against fire
and smoke for 30 minutes (Janisol 2 EI30)
and 60 minutes (Janisol C4 EI60). Janisol 2
is designed for single and double doors and
partitions.
Janisol 2 and Janisol C4 are elegant 60 mm
and 70 mm deep systems perfectly suited for
fire and smoke doors with fixed lights. They
have a contemporary, light-weight appearance
and double-rebate seals. An intelligent fire-
retardant filling gives 60 minutes integrity and
insulation protection.
In addition, the Janisol C4 EI60 system
has concealed closers and comes with the
option of concealed hinges as well, providing
architects with the ultimate in visual aesthetics
as well as performance in use.
Designed to integrate perfectly with
Schueco Jansen glazed screens, these Schueco
Jansen doors have hinges that have been tested
through a million cycles, making them ideal
for high-traffic areas in schools, hospitals,
offices and public buildings.
Finally, a comprehensive collection of
fittings and accessories – including different
glazing bead variants, a variety of hinge types
and a choice of face-fixed door handles – allow
all three systems to be customised to perfectly
complement any location.
