Efficient use of the energy that is developed within the home is important in keeping our energy costs under control. One area where energy can be lost is the window/door areas of the home yet at the same time we like to ensure that we maximise the amount of available light in the home, particularly over the winter period. Sustainability of the environment both externally and within the home is vital if we are to minimise heating costs.
The launch of a super efficient folding glass door marks a significant development in this important area. Solarlux have launched their most efficient glass door to the UK market.
Combining four core elements that enable the door to achieve a U value of 0.80Wm2K, the new SL97 is the first wood/aluminium folding glass door with an integrated thermal layer to be launched onto the market and is specially designed with the demands of energy saving in mind.
By using wood on the interior and a combination of insulating material and protective aluminium on the outside as well as triple glazing, the SL 97 from Solarlux has been able to combine the advantages of four materials in a single product. Inside the room, the wood panels create a natural warm atmosphere and, on the outside, the fully insulated rear-ventilated aluminium facing sheets guarantee permanent protection from the elements with only minimal maintenance requirements.
The company envisages future applications both in luxurious private homes and multi-storey high-quality rented and owner-occupied flats. After all, first-class materials and comfortable fittings are essential for prestigious properties where lifestyle is an important element of a home.
The SL 97 is suitable for new buildings as well as renovation projects in both the private and public sectors.
The SL 97 will be available as a top and bottom-running system with stainless steel carriages and runners. It comes with hidden fittings which can be conveniently operated using one hand as well as espagnolette bolts which lock the doors in any position, as well as providing a high degree of security. Three all-round seals protect the system from the wind and rain.
FSC or PEFC-certified pines and fir woods are used as standard for the wooden sections; other wood types are also available to order.
