Adding a composite door to complement the pvc-u Diamond Suite, Duraflex has produced the Stormfront range of doors in a choice of colours and styles with specially designed hardware.
Thermoplastic faces are bonded to a core construction under high pressure, creating a stable and long lasting finish with a 30 minute fire rating.
Seven standard styles are available, including entrance door designs such as Georgian Solid or Glazed and Victorian Half Glazed. The doors can be supplied in brilliant white, red, blue, green, mahogany or light oak.
The locking system utilises a double hook lock with an opposing action and a deadbolt lock, as well as dual seal technology that eliminates drafts and water ingress.
Windows for Abbs Cross School, Essex, have been installed with the help of the pvc-u diamond suite from Duraflex. The windows feature Pilkington K toughened glass with security provided by an internally beaded frame. The company's 70mm Bevelled System in a brilliant white finish was chosen to match the existing timber frames. The system benefits from a five chamber profile, achieving a u-value within building regulations.
Gem for steel mill
Combining new-build properties and a converted steel mill, Foxhills near Barnsley features over 500 doors and windows from the Duraflex Diamond Suite. All windows were fabricated using 65mm profile with scotia bead, with white and woodgrain finishes selected.
Reflecting freight forwarder, Woodland International Transport?s colour scheme, 36 new windows from the Duraflex 70mm Bevelled Suite in sea blue have been supplied. Originally priced in a brilliant white finish, the windows were spray coated in an appropriate RAL colour prior to fabrication. The profile features a 5-chamber construction for improved insulation.
Some 30 pvc-u window units fabricated from the Duraflex Featured Suite by Pearl Window Systems have been installed at Oakland School in Keighley. The new partglazed windows with insulated panels in the lower half replace old metal frames and provide a low maintenance, thermally efficient solution.
High performance pvc-u doors and windows from the Duraflex diamond suite have met the exacting specification for a riverside development near Kew. Some 5,000 pvc-u windows and French doors are being supplied for the project. The development?s modern architectural style incorporates large glazed sections and rotundas to the corners of the apartments. New build specialist, NBW, is undertaking fabrication and installation as part of a partnering agreement with the developer. NBW, who supplied most of the windows for the Kew riverside properties, fabricated them from Duraflex?s 65mm bevelled profile in brilliant white finish and with a scotia glazing bead. The range of window styles include side hung and top hung casements, and some tilt and turn frames.
Over 400 doors and windows from the Duraflex pvc-u Diamond Suite are being fabricated and installed by NBW for a Banner Homes development in Watford. At Eastbury Park the company is supplying classic side hung casement windows using Duraflex 65mm bevelled profile to complement the traditional architectural style of the properties. Specified in a brilliant white finish, the externally beaded frames feature a solid transom and Scotia glazing bead.
Working closely with Duraflex, fabricator Fastframe has won a contract to supply Linden Homes with pvc-u doors and windows from the Diamond Suite. They have been installed on the Indigo development of townhouses and apartments near Bristol. The low maintenance and high thermal efficiency of pvc-u window and door systems were important factors in the specification.
