FAQs
Q: What is ‘self clean’ glass?
A: Self-cleaning glass combines both self-cleaning and solar control properties, making it highly desirable for homeowners. A special coating on the glass breaks down organic dirt and reduces the adhesion of inorganic dirt. When water contacts the glass, it spreads out in a sheet, picking up and washing away loosened dirt particles, leaving a clearer surface.
Q: What does U Value mean?
A: Thermal transmittance, or U-value, is the rate at which heat passes through glass. It is measured in W/m²K (watts per square meter Kelvin). A lower U-value indicates better insulation and improved energy efficiency.
Q: Why does aluminium need to be thermally broken?
A: Aluminium is a conductor of heat, meaning it can allow heat transfer between indoor and outdoor environments. A thermal break, typically made from polyamide, is inserted between the inner and outer aluminum profiles to prevent heat loss, improving energy efficiency.
Q: What are the benefits of powder coating versus wet paint?
A: Powder coating is more durable than wet paint, offering better resistance to chipping, scratching, and general wear. It also provides superior color retention and weather resistance, making it ideal for outdoor products like aluminum doors.
Q: Why is PAS24:2016 important?
A: PAS24:2016 certification ensures that a door meets UKAS-approved security standards. This means the door has undergone rigorous testing for safety and security, providing peace of mind to homeowners.
Q: Which door styles are best, and what is a traffic door?
A: A traffic door is an access door within a bifold system, allowing everyday use without folding multiple sashes. It features a traditional lever handle and locking mechanism. Check the bifolding door section for more details on styles that incorporate traffic doors.
Q: Can I have trickle vents in the bifolding door, and do I need a frame extender?
A: Trickle vents are required in most new builds to meet building regulations. Korniche bifold doors allow trickle vents to be fitted directly into the head of the door frame, eliminating the need for an unsightly and costly frame extender.
