Installers in the know will absolutely be aware of the inherent advantages brought with aluminium bifold doors. Such advantages won’t mean anything however, unless tradesmen are familiar with how to best relay them to the people that matter: Homeowners. We at Evaframe dedicate our fabrication and supply services on two distinct aluminium systems, knowing them intimately like few other companies can.
It’s with this in mind that we thought it useful to specifically highlight the performance benefits of both Alifold and Pure, giving you, the installer, the undeniable facts you need to help wow the trickiest of customers.
1. Patent pending thermal break technology (PURE)
Helping the PURE system strand of our aluminium bifolds in particular to deliver exceptionally high levels of energy efficiency, each bifold sash integrates a thermal break. It’s best to explain this technology to customers as one that separates the warm air inside from the cold air outside, preventing any potential conductive heat loss. Properties will be kept insulated and warm, even throughout the colder months.
2. Integrated high performance gaskets (PURE)
Another measure that’s specifically designed to improve a bifold door’s heat retention capabilities, PURE aluminium comes with high performance integrated as standard. This assures that whenever the bifold panels are closed one against another, draughts is a near-impossibility, as is any noise pollution from the outside. The gaskets are unsightly to the point of unnoticeable, never disrupting the stylish aesthetic.
3. Security Tested to PAS24: 2012 (ALIFOLD)
Published by the institute of British Standards, PAS24: 2012 assess the security performance for external door sets fitted in the UK, and our range of Alifold Aluminium Bifolds achieve it. This can be an important factor to mention when discussing an installation with customers, particularly those who value absolute peace of mind with their rear entrance patio doors.
4. Triple glazed up to 50mm (Both)
Both aluminium systems can be supplied glazed in either a double or triple glazed fashion. If the latter is required, the aluminium bifold doors will make use of a large glass surface area that touts an impressive thickness of 50mm. Thermal and acoustic insulation levels will be vastly improved, all for just a little extra cost.
5. High tech rollers (ALIFOLD)
Assuring the smoothest function possible, we can fabricate Alifold bifold doors with an integrated high-tech roller system that will give each sash the easiest time possible when sliding. Such hassle-free operation is a more important factor than installers potentially think for end users, removing any likelihood that homeowners won’t build up the effort to step outside.
6. Exceedingly low U-values (Both)
Both aluminium bifold variants in the Evaframe range surpass the energy levels required by UK Building Regulations, delivering U value levels as low as 0.93 W/M2K. Actual performance levels will vary from installation to installation, but if fitted correctly, all sashes will help property’s save energy and potentially reduce heating bill costs.
Aluminium bifold doors that perform exceptionally in any application
The 6 performance features mentioned above are a great way to highlight to consumers why there’s more to aluminium bifold doors than just large light entry and exceptional garden views.
