Kawneer launches high-performance swing door

Published: 5-Apr-2013

Product to complement AA540 window range

Kawneer has enhanced its AA540 window range, with a high-performance swing door.

The door uses the same multi-chamber thermal break core as the AA541 casement, AA542 pivot and AA543 tilturn windows in the range. The technology, along with the addition of a thermally-enhanced centre seal, ensures thermal efficiency (Uw values down to 1.29 W/m2K using 0.6 W/m²K glazing) and full compliance with Document L .

Designed for direct fix into prepared openings and within ribbon windows, the door suites with Kawneer's AA540 window range, AA100 and AA110 curtain walling, 451PT framing and door systems to give specifiers and architects even more flexibility for new-build and refurbishment projects in low and high-rise applications where cost is a key driver.

Available as a single-action open-in or open-out swing door, it also features a range of threshold options including a low threshold for easy wheelchair access (compliant with Document M), a barrier-free for a seamless transition or a fully-rebated option for improved weathering.

There is also a range of hardware options including a choice of panic exit options to allow usage on a variety of applications and additional finger guard hardware to provide additional safety.

Capable of taking triple glazing up to 47mm, square and soft-line profile options give a choice of aesthetics while adjustable two or three-part hinges make it suitable for use in light and medium-traffic locations.

The AA545 swing door is completing a range of stringent laboratory tests carried out by a UKAS-accredited testing authority which includes air permeability Class 4A, watertightness Class 9A, windload resistance Class AE2400 and PAS 24 Standard for the enhanced security performance on single and double-leaf external doors.
