SUNFLEX aluminium folding door systems
Aluminium with its
incredible strength and lightweight construction makes it a highly versatile material.
With the market moving away from the traditional UPVC, aluminium provides an almost
incomparable structural stability, integrity, and life expectancy, whilst maintaining
minimal, sleek and stylish sightlines. The ability to achieve excellent thermal
qualities when separated by a polyamide insulation strip, makes it undoubtedly
the material of the future.

Appearance
The standard available finishes for the
Sunflex range of aluminium systems are Silver
anodised or polyester powder coated White
RAL 9016. From January 2008 we will be
adding Silver RAL 9006, Grey Aluminium RAL
9007 and Anthracite Grey RAL 7016 to our
standard range. All handles are specially
designed to complement the door system;
standard colours are Black RAL 9011, White
RAL 9016 or Silver RAL 9006. Gaskets are
in Black with hinges mounted within seal
sightline available in black or white. A
Marine environment finish, that is required
to all systems within 5000m of a shoreline
is also available.
Other RAL colours (over 201 colours available).
Even different colours to the inside and
outside (dual colour) or different wood
grain effects are available for a nominal
charge. These can even be applied to the
handles and hinges if required. In addition
you can specify whether a matt, semi gloss
or gloss level of paint finish is required.
Laboratory tested
Only trust systems
that have been fully tested and certified. Gaskets that have been tested to provide
a weather rating, do not actually mean the system itself has been tested and brush
piles on their own are not an effective seal. The Sunflex range of systems together
with the individual components have been motion tested in a laboratory controlled
environment over 20,000 times. They have been subjected to prolonged air pressure
and water permeability tests in order to be certified. |
