Element Helps PatioMaster Beat The Elements
The popular PatioMaster PVC-U sliding door system from Epwin Window Systems has gone through enhanced weather performance testing carried out by Element.
Element is an independent global provider of testing, inspection and certification services. The latest testing was based on a two-pane sliding door with heavy-duty steel, with the sliding door achieving 300pa water tightness Class 7a, 600Pa air tightness Class 2 and 1600 Pa wind loading Class A4.
This wind loading performance will be of particular interest to those promoting sliding patio for coastal or high-rise properties.
Phil Parry, business development director at Epwin Window Systems says: ”For us, it’s not just about passing these tests but ensuring that we uphold standards and deliver consistent product performance to give our customers an advantage.”
Security and thermals
Parry claims the PatioMaster PVC-U sliding door system is 33% stronger by design due to its reinforcing capability, than other systems, while an intelligently-designed interlock prevents intruders from prising open the panes to gain entry. He also says the system offers exceptional thermal performance. Its sash profile increases the variety of glazing options to 28mm and 36mm (which is triple glazed).
All doors are fitted with the Yale 6-point lock as standard and Epwin Window Systems will be introducing a new Yale 10 point PAS 24 locking system shortly. This high-security locking system delivers the equivalent of a standard lock plus additional shootbolts at the top and bottom of the sash for maximum security benefits.
Colour
19 stocked foil finishes cover the industry’s favoured shades, including sage, claystone and pebble grey, plus 30 made to order colour options with on-trend hues covering heritage classics, contemporary colours and natural palettes.
