New bi-fold gasket
December 2016

EXTRUDASEAL has launched a new aluminum bi-fold threshold gasket, which uses a semi-rigid box foot, claiming a more secure fix and improved compression and weather sealing.

Suitable for use with a wide range of aluminium systems including ALUK, the new threshold gasket was developed in response to installer and fabricator demand.

Offered as an alternative to system’s company gaskets in fabrication, the new ExtrudaSeal gasket is also suitable for retrofit.

Steve Cockane, Technical Manager, ExtrudaSeal, explained:

“It can be very difficult to achieve a reliable fix on a bi-fold threshold gasket and even small misalignments or simply friction, can mean that leafs catch as they open.

“The problem is that this can mean that some gasket systems ‘kick out’, it gets worse and installers get call backs. We have designed an alternative threshold gasket system, using a semi-rigid PVC foot, which provides a greatly improved fix over traditional systems as an alternative in fabrication but which can also be retrofitted, eliminating call backs.”
