Composite Doors an UPVC Doors Specialists – Weather Tight
The increasing occurrence of wind driven rain in the UK also means that
any entrance door need to remain watertight even in the most extreme
weather. Again, the growth in the composite door market can be partly
explained because of the robustness of the product. The doors offer an
impenetrable barrier to the weather with a triple-seal frame system
which has been further enhanced on The Dales Collection with the
addition of two brush seals and a gasket seal.
Creating a weathertight seal depends on achieving an adequate level of
installation and here the company has not lost sight of the need for
contractors to achieve a quick turnaround on site. Three-way adjustment
on the hinges speeds up installation significantly, as does the deep
frame section which allows for a better plaster reveal clearance,
particularly useful in many of the Decent Homes programmes where
residents may have to temporarily vacate the property. The low aluminium
threshold, fitted as standard, allows housing providers to meet Part M
of Building Regulations.
The rate of growth currently being experienced in the composite door
market is partly driven by the needs of residents and RSLs. Tough GRP
door leaves avoid the problems associated with other materials such as
splits and cracks and the hardwearing through-coloured finish requires
no ongoing painting, sanding or varnishing. With thermal efficiency up
to six-times that of timber there are also sound environmental reasons
for choosing composite doors, especially as all dwellings now have to
comply with the Code for Sustainable Homes.
