Upgrades to Reynaers’ market-leading Hi-Finity range offer greater choice to architects and homeowners Reynaers, the leading supplier of sustainable aluminium solutions, is announcing a series of new options for its Hi-Finity range of patio doors, including a manual lock and a double- wheel carriage. Hi-Finity patio doors are the epitome of modern design. They are structurally glazed and include an ergonomically designed handle and a concealed locking system. Aiming to offer homeowners more choice than ever before, Reynaers has now introduced the new manual lock system, as an addition to the popular automatic option as part of the Hi- Finity range. The manual lock means that an electrician is not required on site during installation, giving the installer and the homeowner greater flexibility.Another key feature of Hi- Finity is the doors’ impressive size and weight, which can reach a maximum height of three and a half metres, a sliding panel weight of 750kg and a fixed pane weight of 1200kg. This is made possible as a result of Reynaers’ specially designed wheelbase which ensures the fluid movement of the glass panes and therefore allows increased weight capabilities. This enables homeowners and architects to opt for specialist window solutions, such as acoustic glass, to suit a variety of individual requirements. Furthermore, architects and homeowners can rest assured when it comes to security. The Hi-Finity range is one of the first doors of its type to offer the PAS 24:2016 standard, which is a benchmark of quality and the latest test method used for the enhanced security performance of windows and doors. The test covers the automatic locking system, so it is ideal for those projects where security is paramount. Rebecca Cope, Marketing Manager at Reynaers Aluminium UK said: “Our Hi-Finity patio doors are high-end products that beautifully complement any building seeking top levels of performance and security, whilst also taking advantage of the view to the outside. Building on their success so far, the latest updates we have introduced aim to further enhance homeowners’ experience with Hi-Finity.” 31 The Hi-Finity range also features ultra-slim frames that can be built into the structure of the building. This makes achieving floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall glass a possibility, offering homeowners uninterrupted views. Additionally, the interlock between door panels measures an incredibly narrow 35mm, and the frame and spacer bars between the panes are black, enabling the door to blend in and offer truly panoramic sights. Due to the variety of high-performance features, Reynaers’ Hi-Finity door is a specialist product that is available through a network of trained suppliers.
