With recent changes to U-value standards, Pearl Window Systems asks, is your Bi-fold door compliant?
The Hybrid Bi Folding Door, manufactured by Pearl at their cutting edge Westhoughton facilities, is fully compliant with the new industry standards. From June this year, all new homes must now produce 30% less carbon dioxide emissions than previous standards. The Building Regulations also include new standards to reduce energy use and carbon emissions during home improvements. Pearl are pleased to confirm that their Hybrid Bi Fold Door range meet the new standards, requiring doors fitted to achieve U-values of 1.4 W/(m2.K) in existing dwellings.
The innovative design of the Hybrid merges both Aluminium and PVC leading to a high performing Hybrid Bi Folding Door system with the aesthetics and appearance to match other PVC Window and Door products. There are a vast array of colours to choose from, all of which are Renolit foil, colour matching all other products perfectly.
A low threshold option is just one of the safety features included, making The Hybrid family and wheelchair friendly. Offering excellent levels of energy efficiency, alongside superb security features, including Secure by Design options – The Hybrid creates a beautiful space- saving solution.
The Hybrid is highly innovative with a combined reinforcing and locking mechanism, bringing additional strength and rigidity to the doors and enabling you to have even wider configurations of bi-folding and patio doors. The Hybrid exo-skeletal system ensures only the master door will open first, so there’s no chance of spraining locks by trying to open the wrong door.
STRONG AND SECURE
The shootbolt locking mechanism designed into each Hybrid bi-folding door ensures that it is bolted firmly into the stainless steel track, maximising security.
Built in anti-lift features, anti-bump cylinders and optional anti-snap cylinders combine to bring you peace of mind.
The Hybrid has been designed to take the uPVC sector into new areas. Its fully patented aluminium exo-skeleton means that these bi-folding doors can now reach the same size parameters as their aluminium counterparts – you can choose up to 7 panes wide to span the entire width of your garden room and open it to the outside.
