SAFE ACCESS FOR ALL
W
hether you want to build a new home or retrofit your existing home, external doors with an optional level threshold are an ideal solution to provide safe access for all, while also stopping drafts, noise and water infiltration.
AWARDS The ALUMAT zero-threshold, designed and patented in Germany, was the recipient of the 2020 German Design Award. The product has also received Passive House certification. In addition, this magnetic threshold has been recognised by the Internet platform ‘bfb – barrier free building’. bfb annually determines the best barrier-free building products and solutions that enable comfortable and safe life at any age. The ALUMAT magnetic threshold was selected as the ‘Product of the Year – 2021’ by an expert jury evaluation and reader vote.
HOW IT WORKS When the door is closed, two double seals with silicone contact in the threshold are automatically attracted to the two magnetic strips at the bottom of the door. The seals come up from the level threshold, meet the magnets, and seal the bottom of the door. When the door is opened, the magnetic field is broken and the seals drop back into the threshold, producing a level surface. Enjoy peace of mind with a 20-year warranty on the magnetism of the threshold. Barrier-free accessibility means easy traffic movement between spaces with no risk of stumbling. With ALUMAT barrier-free thresholds you can incorporate style, great design and modern technology, all while achieving energy efficiency and thermal insulation. The threshold is suitable for doors made from timber, aluminium or uPVC. ALUMAT thresholds are available in Australia by Siegware.
