Sliding door ‘alternative to aluminium’
April 2015

ASTRASEAL, has launched the WarmCore folding sliding door system from Synseal, described by the Wellingborough-based fabricator as ‘a viable alternative to aluminium’.

Sales and marketing manager Zac Nedimovic said of the launch: “We launched the product in order to help our trade customers win new business in markets where aluminium is a popular material. We’re offering WarmCore on quick lead times, with no additional charges or lead times for dual colour options, meaning our customers can stick to tight installation deadlines. The response so far has been very positive and we look forward to helping more installers take advantage.”

The WarmCore door is available in residential, French and bi-fold door options and a choice of four external cladding styles – Pencil Round, Chamfered, Square and Decorative. At the heart of WarmCore products is a thermal core which significantly out-performs the polyamide thermal breaks commonly used in aluminium systems.

It can achieve a U-Value of just 1.0 W/m2K, compared to 1.8 W/m2K on an aluminium door. The door boasts features such as double-strength sash corners and custom-engineered extruded aluminium hinges for additional security, clip-fit hinges for easy on-site installation and a triple sealed weatherstrip to eliminate draughts and ensure optimum weather tightness.
