As a part of its drive
to continuously improve its systems, Eurocell – the
UK’s leading manufacturer, distributor and recycler of PVC-U window, door,
conservatory and roofline products – has introduced a new PVC-U low
threshold for its Eurologik 70mm chamfered and ovolo doors that offers users an
alternative to aluminium that will cut energy bills and improve comfort.
This threshold is
superior to aluminium equivalents because it reduces cold bridging and is more
thermally efficient.
Using the PVC-U low
threshold improves the U-value by roughly 0.1 W/m2k depending on the style and specification of the door. Put
another way, using the PVC-U threshold can boost the energy rating of a door by
up to one energy band, over the aluminium equivalent.
This threshold has
another advantage too: Eurocell has designed it so that it can be removed and
replaced without removing the whole door if damaged.
Fully tested to BS 6375 and PAS
24 both on residential and French doors, the threshold complies with Part M of the Building
Regulations (Access to and use of Buildings), which govern disabled
access, when installed complete with a choice of specific ramps from the
company.
