Delivering a superior seal, faster

One of the unique features of Doorco’s glazing cassette system, Flip, is its ‘Foam in Place’ technology which has been designed to provide a superior seal.

Doorco has announced a £500k investment to increase production volume and resilience to drive down lead times, with the installation of an on-site robot line to apply the Foam in Place (FIP) technology.

Dan Sullivan, Doorco MD, said: “FIP technology is a foam seal applied by machine to the outer frame during manufacture to deliver a superior seal and negate the need for hand applying glazing tape – a painstaking stage in the door glazing process – saving customers time and cost.

“FIP saves, on average, three minutes per cassette installation and removes that additional component cost. It performs better too as it eliminates the risk of gaps, particularly in the corners where water ingress is often an issue.

“FIP’s uniform seal prevents any water ingress, which was proved during testing where it performed exceptionally well, easily meeting the BS6375-2015 and EN1027 standards, and most impressively, achieving over 1000pa through the glazing aperture during weather testing. This is further supported by DoorCo’s extended 10-year warranty.

“Flip will be featuring on our stand, Q11 at the FIT Show in May. Come and visit us to find out more about Flip and the other products in the DoorCo portfolio.
