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, Aluminium RAL 9006, Grey Aluminium
RAL 9007 and Anthracite Grey RAL 7016. All
handles are specially designed to complement
the door system; standard colours are Black
RAL 9011, White RAL 9016 or Aluminium 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 or chemical swimming pool
environment 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. |
