INCONSPICUOUS DRAUGHT STRIPPING FOR STEEL DOORS
»»
DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A NEAT way of draught-proofing internal steel doors, the W20 profile end cap is now available from Steel Window Association, and can be factoryfitted into the bottom of internal pivot or sliding doors of any size.
Steel bridges the contemporary and traditional aesthetic, in a way that is unachievable with other materials such as timber and aluminium, while providing solidity without being overpowering. Glazed steel screens allow excellent visibility and the passage of maximum light between different areas; from boardrooms and wine cellars to kitchens and showers, in commercial and residential projects.
The end cap offers an inconspicuous alternative to the brass draught strips that have traditionally been surface-mounted along the bottom edge of doors. The new, specially moulded profile is made of rolled aluminium and installed to close off the W20 end section during the fabrication of the door; it is finished to match the door’ s colour. The draught stripping then slides into the aluminium section with the option of either a rubber strip or a wool pile brush strip which can be of varying sizes depending on the width of the gap under the door.

Wood experts gain 50th trade customer in 2018
»»
OVER TWENTY YEARS, WEST Porthas established itself at the forefront of Britain’ s timber fenestration sector, providing some of the country’ s finest wood windows and doors, and working with some of the biggest names in UK construction.
Given the continuing rise of high-end glazing, fuelled by aspirational end-users looking for products that boast both stunning aesthetics and outstanding performance, West Port saw a huge opportunity to make headway in the trade sector, as Managing Director Sean Parnaby explains:
“ Consumer tastes have changed drastically over the last ten to fifteen years. Where once homeowners were happy with white uPVC, many are now interested in anything but.
“ We’ ve seen the rise of aluminium, then socalled‘ timber alternatives’, as end-users sought out timber aesthetics without the supposed drawbacks.
“ But they’ re now discovering that those‘ drawbacks’ no longer exist. Modern timber is the most stylish, sustainable and versatile material on the market.“ That, combined with the world-class craftsmanship and exceptional service we offer here at West Port, account for the flood of new customers we’ ve brought on board this year. We’ ve had 50 since January, and expect many more before the year is over.”
