Internorm is setting impressive new standards for large-scale glazing in 2014, expanding its door sets range with the launch of the new UPVC/aluminium lift-sliding door, the KS430.
The new lift-sliding door from Internorm offers perfect thermal insulation and energy efficiency through standard triple glazing and a highly thermally insulating glass fibre threshold.
The new door is fully Passivhaus approved with a thermal insulation best value of 0.64 W/m2K. The new ‘soft/lift’ system of the KS430 facilitates easy and convenient lifting and sliding of the large-scale glazing elements and can be completely rendered on three sides with only glass remaining visible in the side element.
The square-edged interior and exterior design of the new KS430, with its narrow sliding frames and frameless fixed elements, ensures maximum glass coverage, whilst concealing hardware for optimum aesthetic value and minimising risk of damage to integral internal door parts. The door also features a patented guiding rail that is concealed within the frame, with integrated stopper buffer to ensure flawless appearance, smooth operation and essential burglary protection.
As standard, the KS430 is available up to a width of 5.8m and a height of 2.8m and can be perfectly combined with all other Internorm energy efficient window solutions. Glazing options stand at 48 or 55mm and the threshold is available in two sizes, 54.5mm or the lower option of 34.5mm for ‘barrier-free’ constructions.
Thomas Hagen, Product and Technical Manager at Internorm UK said: “Door sets are one of the most important elements to any building fabric and Internorm’s revolutionary new design of our lift-sliding door provides an entrance, which is secure while being easily accessible for its building occupants.
"We have built upon our extensive knowledge of door sets, incorporating our award-winning door components, such as concealed hardware, with the most cutting-edge technology on the market.”
