Composite Door
Profile Specification

Windows Plus Online manufactures composite doors using Eurocell uPVC profile.

uPVC

Eurocell uPVC is a high-grade profile that is a fully-integrated 70mm system, chamfered, and is used nationally all over the UK for composite doors to give the door a more traditional look. The Eurocell system meets all requirements for thermal efficiency as standard, and a wealth of intelligent design features have been added in the development of the profile.

With 6 thermal chambers Windows Plus Online and the use of RCM as standard this increases the chambers to 8 chambers which is gives some of the highest thermal efficiency and structural rigidity in the market place. There is also strategic, local wall thickening used to increase the two external faces durability and within the extruded components for better hardware retention and screw grip where required.

Slabs

Windows Plus Online use the Door-stop door slabs which are a household name throughout the UK. The slab is 44mm thick, GRP skinned, and come in a range of designs. To give great definition and long life performance Door-Stop slabs use glass reinforced plastic skins. For keeping people safe, secure and protected against all weather conditions. It's used today to make the hulls of boats because it's super-strong and has exceptional wind and water resistance. That's why we use it for our composite doors.

The average rainfall in the UK is between 700mm a year in East Anglia, and up to 3,000mm a year in the Scottish Highlands. To make sure Door-Stop slabs are up to this demanding task they are tested in a pressurised chamber to stimulate gusting winds starting at 63 miles an hour and up to 80 miles an hour. Then they are tested further by spraying two litres of water every minute directly at the door in their test chamber.

Wind resistance: tested in accordance with BSEN 12211: 2000

Air Permeability: tested in accordance with BSEN 1026: 2000

Water tightness: tested in accordance with BSEN 1027: 2000

Edging: The hinge edge of your door has a PVC edging. Then we cut through the edging so that the hinge sits neatly inside the edge of your door. To make the door super-strong, the lock edge has been fitted with a full length of 4mm thick, powder-coated aluminium lock strip. Then your preferred lock sits flush inside your door.
