GAME CHANGING‘ FIT AND FORGET’ ALUMINIUM FRONT DOORS FROM KAT
Eureka- finally our industry is beginning to recognise the benefit of promoting and installing glazing products that are designed to Passivhaus levels. The central European and Irish markets are well ahead of the game, where Architects almost always demand sub W / m ² K 1.0 performance. The UK will be forced to follow, and we know many aluminium systems companies that supply the UK are scrambling to find answers to the U value issue.
Passive House as standard
KAT offers K64 Series aluminium front doors that are Passive House as standard at W / m ² K 0.77, for a price equivalent to a contemporary solid timber core, or double rebated composite door. The price / quality ratio is astonishing and universal feedback from the first 30 or so trade customers who have ordered or installed the K64 is:‘‘ why would I ever buy another contemporary composite door?’’
K64 is the door that everyone in the trade has been waiting for; it allows trade partners to sell a very competitively priced aluminium hybrid door to entry level and mid-range customers. In the words of so many KAT trade partners,‘’ K64 is significantly stronger and better finished than any composite door and service calls are likely to be a thing of the past’.’
Highly Secure, Low Maintenance, Long Lifespan
Homeowners want front doors that offer premium quality and robust security. K64 meets RC2 and PAS 24 security standards, providing installers with a remarkably high-quality hybrid aluminium front door, which satisfies regulatory requirements on both new build and renovation projects.
Affordable Aluminium Entrance Doors
For years, composite doors have been the go-to for budget conscious homeowners. But now, KAT offers you an aluminium option, for the same money as most mid-range contemporary composite doors. Plus, KAT can manufacture much wider and higher doors because of the strength of the door sash.
The K64 Series is produced in a three-year-old, purpose-built, automated factory, that cost £ 25m to build. 3000 front doors are produced a month.
