Solidly bonded to the steel sheets providing a section that is resistant to flexion.
Ensure a long lasting and refined appearance with one-piece molded polypropylene window frame.
Sections are strengthened by 2 steel walls joined together with mechanical interlocking joints which are more solid than just two bonded walls.
Mechanical thermal breaks which are more efficient compared to thermal breaks made with glue.
Triple-contact joints provide 2 times more weathertightness than those of the competition.
Provide stronger fastening for hinges and struts. These 14-gauge plates are 2 times thicker than 20-gauge plates used by other manufacturers.
Provide a thermal break that is more effective than steel end caps which form a thermal bridge.
Structural elements of the sections, the kiln-dried pine wood end blocks are installed at the outer ends of the section. They are stronger than insulation covered with a steel cap.
Provides much better fastening of the end hinges. The lag screws engage 8 threads into the wood, compared to a self-tapping screw going through a steel end cap engaging only about 2 or 3 threads.
26/26-gauge, G60 hot-dipped galvanized steel with five coats of protective finish.
Baked-on polyester paint. Can be repainted.
Woodgrain finish on both sides of the door.
Same quality of corrosion-resistant steel for interior and exterior faces.
2 Insulated door with high-pressure injected polyurethane foam ensuring a high thermal-resistance rating and the solidity of a composite material.
Mechanical joints ensure stronger sections with walls of each panel mechanically interlocked (not only bonded by the polyurethane).
Mechanical thermal break avoids heat transfer between the interior and exterior walls of each section.
Triple-contact joint prevents air infiltration.
4 U-shaped tubular bottom weatherstripping made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) ensures the weathertightness of the threshold. Remains flexible and watertight during cold weather, to -62°F (-52°C).
5 Wood end blocks made of kiln-dried pine (grade 4). With our lag screw system, ensure better fastening of the end hinges. They also provide a thermal break which prevents thermal bridging.
6 14-gauge steel reinforcement plates placed inside the door for solidly attaching hinges and struts.
Precision end bearing plate 3 For 650 lb (250 kg) doors and over, to provide stronger support for the opening system of the door.
Double hinges Recommended for doors 14' and wider, for a more stable mounting system.
12-gauge continuous angle Provides stronger attachment of the tracks on the wall.
1 1⁄4" (30 mm) solid shart Provides more strength to the spring system.
Bridge strut Ensures better resistance to wind load.
Tension bridge reinforcement For very wide doors (18' 3" wide and over), prevent warping of the steel door sections, meaning the curving of sections which can be caused by indoor and outdoor temperature differences.
Precision rollers Machined steel: recommended for heavy doors and dusty environments.
Black nylon: made of rigid plastic, they reduce the noise of the door in motion.
Rubber: ensure smooth rolling and are recommended to reduce the noise of the door in motion (ideal for condo or apartment). NB-SS: with a stainless stem, ideal for car washes.
C-shaped or bumper springs For a softer stop, they are recommended for all manually-operated doors with a high-lift track or a full vertical track.
Pusher springs Highly recommended for large size doors with a standard lift with a Jackshaft opener installed beside the door. They ensure the good tautness of the lifting cables when the door is operating.
Chain hoist For easier closing and opening of a door operated manually.
"Z" or "L" style track guards Protect the tracks in high-traffic areas (ex.: forklifts).
High-cycle springs Recommended for intense uses of more then 50 operation cycles per day. Vary from 25,000 to 200,000 cycles.
