Aluminium Doors Systems

A revolutionary new aluminium door system, combining the advantages of high specification dual colour thermally broken aluminium extrusions, with the security requirements of blast and ballistic resistance.

Construction of Window System

Frames members are mitre cut at 45 degree, corners are reinforced with extruded aluminium crimping cleats and corner braces, and a secure joint is formed by mechanical crimping into the extruded crimping cleat.

Intermedial mullion and transition bars are square cut shaped and fixed securely to the frame by means of stainless steel screws driven into grooves in the sections.

All frame joints are sealed during construction against entry of water. Extruded plastic weather strips and glazing gaskets are provided to resist the ingress of water. These are fitted into the sections prior to fabrication of the frames.
