Warmcore, The Warmer Choice That Saves You Money

The traditional weakness of aluminium doors has been the aluminium itself. While a beautifully strong and hard-wearing material, aluminium is a good conductor of energy. Meaning that the warmth from your heating bills. Most aluminium folding sliding doors try to overcome this inherent weakness by replacing a section of aluminium with a small thermal break of less conductive material to lessen this heat loss.

WarmCore took a different approach, from inception this revolutionary folding sliding door was designed to be as thermally efficient as possible. Built around a full width thermal core - maximising the use of low conductive material - WarmCore is 25% more efficient at keeping heat in your home than traditional aluminium doors. Yet it doesn’t compromise strength as the outer faces of the profile are high grade aluminium, positioned to add the greatest structural rigidity.

U-Values Explained

A U-Value is basically a measure of heat loss through a structural element. It is calculated on the rate at which heat transfers through 1 square metre of a structure and is stated in W/m2K. U-Values are used by the construction industry to compare the thermal performance of different materials and products.

Warmer By Design

WarmCore has been designed from the ground up to offer market-leading thermal performance, and comfortably meets the requirements of Building Regulations - Part L. Traditional aluminium doors struggle to meet current legislation, forcing you to choose aluminium aesthetics and finish over thermal performance. WarmCore gives you both, with its innovative full width thermal core.

This unique composite construction creates the most thermally efficient folding sliding door in its class. This design philosophy has produced a folding sliding door that has exceptional thermal performance, helping keep fuel bills lower and heat in your home, while retaining the sleek and architectural look of aluminium.

Helping Transform Your Living Space

Perfect Alignment

Whether you are tucked up inside watching TV with your WarmCore folding sliding doors protecting you from the elements, or hosting a garden party with the doors wide open on a bright spring day, you can be assured your doors will look pristine.

Attention has been paid to how the doors look when stacked open, something often overlooked on traditional door systems. When open, all sashes stack neatly inline with each other and are kept perfectly parallel using discreet magnets.

Open ends of door sashes, hidden from view when the door is closed, are also carefully cloaked in uniform black for a neat and thought-through appearance.

Practical For Everyday Use

The innovative design of WarmCore folding sliding doors enables you to split the door sashes in whichever way suits your home. You can have all the sashes fold to the right or left, or have them split in any combination you choose.

A popular configuration is to have a single door at one end, called a traffic door.This allows you to leave the majority of the door sashes locked in place, using a single door for everyday use.

practical

In addition certain door configurations offer even more practicality, as the door sashes that meet in the middle, or at one end, can be used as a set of French doors - when you don’t need, or want, the doors fully open.

This flexibility enables you to use your WarmCore folding sliding doors in a way that suits you, rather than being forced to fully open them every time. Leave that until you’re entertaining or when the day is so good it deserves to be let in.

Strong Construction Built For Unparrelled Security

From the unique 5 point lock, designed to run the full length of the door sash, to the high strength hinges and rollers; each element of the WarmCore door combines to ensure optimum security.

WarmCore's aluminium construction, custom-made roller assemblies - sitting deep within the top and bottom tracks - and extruded aluminium hinges make them inherently strong and secure. Added security features such as integral dog bolts bind the door sashes together when closed, protecting against forced entry.

A custom designed door lock, available on no other door system, uses a 5 point locking system with 3 opposed hook locks and twin shoot bolts - that engage fully into the aluminium top and bottom tracks - helping keep you and your family safe and secure.

Every WarmCore door is independently certified to PAS24:2012 the benchmark in enhanced security performance requirements for doorsets and windows in the UK.

1O Year Comprehensive Guarantee As Standard

From the anodised finish of the hardware - suitable for coastal use - to the 60-80 micron powder coat finish on the aluminium (marine grade is 40 microns thick), WarmCore folding sliding doors have been designed to stand the test of time. All fixings used are stainless steel - chosen to resist corrosion - and tough extruded aluminium hinges, along with the quad-wheeled track rollers are precision engineered to perform consistently every single time, year on year.

Triple Glazing - For Ultimate Thermal Performance

Robustly designed to take the weight of triple glazed units as standard, choose this option for the ultimate thermal performance - at least 75% better than standard double glazed aluminium folding sliding doors. Opting for 44mm triple glazing rather than standard 28mm double glazing reduces the whole door U-Value rating from 1.4 to 1.0. Triple glazing is ideal for WarmCore doors installed in exposed locations.

Performance Glass Upgrade

High Performance,Easy Clean Glass :Celsius Clear insulated glass is available as an optional upgrade on WarmCore folding sliding doors. This unique high performance glass utilises a Low-E and solar control coating, with an Argon filled cavity, to limit the amount of UV and heat that passes through the glazed unit, giving the ultimate in thermal control, whatever the weather

keeps you warm in winter, and cool in summer : Easy Clean technology has also been added to reduce maintenance requirements. Utilising a coating that lasts the lifetime of the glass, dirt and grime simply washes off with normal rain, rather than sticking to the glass.
