DECALU88 BI-FOLD ON LOGIKAL - DECEUNINCK ALUMINIUM

Deceuninck Aluminium’s Decalu88 Bi-folding door has been added to BM Aluminium’s Logikal database, simplifying manufacture of the company’s flagship product offering.

Nigel Headford, Deceuninck Aluminium’s Business Development Director, said that offering a turn-key solution to fabricators, it made in-house manufacture of the Decalu88 bi-fold a far simpler proposition. “The vast majority of fabricators use Logikal, it offers integration of process from estimation to manufacture.

“With the majority of our products already on it, bringing the Decalu88 Bi-fold inline, puts everything into place, simplifying manufacture for our existing customers and also speeding up set up as we bring new fabricators on board.”

The Decalu88 Bi-fold has gained a significant following among installers based on ease of installation. This includes glazing of each sash in as little as 5-minutes through the use of a co-extruded pre-inserted gasket, and two fully adjustable jambs, each offering up to 7mm tolerance, simplifying door squaring and setting. U-values are as low as 0.68W/m2, with each sash able to accommodate weights of 200kg and up to 3m in height, it also offers impressive design flexibility, while guaranteeing ultra-smooth running. Nigel continued: “The selling point for the Decalu88, in common with the Decalu163 Lift-and-Slide and everything else in our range, is that it’s been designed to simple manufacture.

“Gaskets and thermal breaking technology are pre-inserted, we supply product marine grade and dual colour as standard - we have stripped everything back to support simpler manufacture.”

The Decalu163 Lift-and-Slide patio is now available with a slim 53mm interlock, accommodating individual sash weights of up to 400kg on a single or double track option. Deceuninck Aluminium also offers the Decalu88 Residential Door, which uses patented thermal-breaking technology, to guarantee a maximum bowing tolerance of on 2.5mm under heat stress and a range of contemporary casements, reversible, tilt and turn, and heritage options achieving U-values as low as 0.89W/m2k.

“To have our complete range on Logikal is a real achievement. With lower stockholding, the use of pre-inserted co-extruded gaskets, a standardised colour offer, with marine, dual coloured and textured options, the system and our offer is designed to simplify manufacture.

“Logikal extends that, to process. The addition of the Decalu88 Bi-fold, delivers to immediate advantage to our customers and those who join us going forward.” For more information call 01249 816 969, email deceuninck.ltd@deceuninck.com or visit www.deceuninck.co.uk.

BOWATER DOORS DELIVER INDUSTRY LEADING LEVELS OF FIRE AND SMOKE PROTECTION

Bowater Doors are proud to introduce FireShield, an industry leading composite fire door with impressive and consistent test results. It’s a revolutionary fire and smoke protection solution and is the result of innovative design combined with extensive testing and sealed with the BM TRADA Q Mark certification scheme to ensure consistent high quality.

This range of next generation composite fire doors includes glazed and solid designs, all of which have been thoroughly tested to BS EN 1634, the latest standard for fire resistance and smoke control.

Scott Francis, Technical Manager at Bowater Doors has been instrumental in the testing of this new range of fire doors, he comments: ‘BS EN 1634 is the latest standard and a far more demanding test in comparison to BS 476. This is particularly in reference to the requirement to expose both sides of the door to the fire combined with the increased level of pressure and heat in the furnace. We made the decision to test our doors to the limits with regards to safety and security to ensure we are offering the best composite fire door on the market.’

For additional peace of mind, FireShield is supplied with a low maintenance fully finished frame that has been designed specifically for use with fire doors. The testing of this door range was not limited to fire protection. Keeping residents safe remains a key driver for the development of our entire product range. FireShield was tested to PAS 24 and also holds the Secured by Design accreditation. The function and usability of the range was also considered and as a consequence it features an AV2 slam shut lock to ensure that when the door was closed it is secure and ready to perform in the event of a fire. Every aspect of the system was considered including its environmental credentials. To ensure consistent levels of performance, FireShield features an environmentally friendly Agrifiber core door slab, an incredibly strong, durable and stable material in comparison to phenolic foam alternatives.

ODL EUROPE INTRODUCES NEW DOOR CASSETTE BROCHURE

ODL Europe has just published a new door cassette brochure that showcases the depth and range of their multiple door glazing systems. Nathan Barr, ODL Europe’s Managing Director, said: “Our new door cassette brochure showcases our complete collection including our market-leading TriSYS™ three-piece frame system.”

The comprehensive 16-page brochure is filled with high-quality images throughout and at-a-glance coding details to make ordering the numerous door cassettes very straightforward. The contemporary brochure design perfectly demonstrates the extensive door cassette range with a choice of four glazing systems: the TriSYS™ three-piece frame system, Spotlights® contemporary glazing frames, Zeel™ innovative flush contemporary frame system and the Craftsman framing system which delivers true craftsman door aesthetics. Nathan said: “Our new brochure showcases our door cassettes and promotes the depth of our range along with the technological benefits our products deliver.” The new cassette brochure comes hot on the heels of considerable investment in additional state-of-the-art manufacturing machinery, allowing the Bootle-based business to control their door cassette production. Nathan said: “The increase in demand every business has seen in recent months has caused supplier delays and increased pinch points on production output. Our latest manufacturing investment allows us to control our total cassette product inventory to minimise the impact of industry-wide delays on our customers. All our door glazing cassette will be manufactured in-house and we have further increased our production capacity by 25%.” The new cassette brochure is available in print and digital formats and can be requested via the company’s website at www.odleurope.com, via email at enquiries@odleurope.com or call 0151 933 0299.
