Aluplast launches flush door

Aluplast has launched a flush door designed to suite perfectly with its flush casement window, allowing fabricators and installers to target higher value projects where a uniform appearance is desired.

Like Aluplast’s flush casement, the new flush door suites with the systems company’s Ideal 70 and Ideal 4000 profiles. According to Aluplast, this opens-up opportunities in both the heritage and contemporary sectors by providing a uniform flush appearance across both windows and doors, while minimising stockholding for fabricators.

The flush door is also fully PAS24-accredited in both single and double open-out configurations.

Aluplast’s sales and marketing director, Ian Cocken, explained that sourcing flush windows and doors from the same supplier has a positive effect on the colour choice.

“If a window company chooses to buy the French door from a different supplier to the window, the colours across two ranges could be inconsistent,” he said. “We know how important colour is right now because we have picked up a significant amount of business from fabricators who have been unable to maintain a reliable supply of coloured profile from their previous supplier.”

The vast majority of Auplast’s flush casement orders include colour, with foiled product accounting for as much as 50% of total order volume.

Aluplast’s flush door has a five-chamber design that can achieve U-values as low as 1.2W/m²K, and is manufactured using Ecotech, which maximises the amount of recycled content in a profile’s design, without affecting performance.

“We know that while volume orders are starting to decline, demand for high-value products continues to increase,” Cocken said. “By offering a flexibility and uniformity across windows and doors, in both heritage and contemporary styles, and in a wide colour choice, we are helping our customers maintain business levels during a difficult trading period.”
