Panel construction
- Thickness of 0.023” (0.60 mm).
- Pre-painted aluminum with five coats of protective finish. Baked-on polyester paint. Can be repainted and is corrosion-resistant.
- Woodgrain finish on both sides of the door.
2) 1 ¾” (44.5 mm) insulated door with high-pressure injected polyurethane foam ensuring a high thermal-resistance rating of R-16 (RSI 2.8 or k=0.357 W/m2K) and the solidity of a composite material.
3) InterLokTM joints between each section:
- 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 weather tightness of the threshold. Remains flexible and watertight during cold weather, to -62°F (-52°C).
5) Flexible top weatherstripping 2 ½” (64 mm) and aluminum extrusion for aluminum doors of 10’ (3048 mm) wide and over.
6) 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.
7) 14-gauge steel reinforcement plates placed inside the door for solidly attaching hinges and struts.
Door weight: 1.55 lb/ft2 (7.6 kg/m2)
