W20 iNTERNAL STEEL
The W20 steel door systems, renowned as the slimmest hot-rolled steel framing systems in the market, offer more than just a sleek design. They provide expansive glass areas, slender profiles, and exceptional performance, ensuring superior thermal insulation, soundproofing, and security. These features, combined with the traditional steel glazing bars and a wide range of design options, have made them a popular choice for architects and interior designers.
These systems excel in interior and exterior applications and can seamlessly integrate with window sections and other doors to create larger screen assemblies. Originally introduced to the market in 1912, W20 comprised three distinct ranges of hot-rolled profiles. The profile available today was refined in 1964 and continues to be in high demand due to its durability and minimal maintenance requirements.
Suitable for both internal and external use, W20 can be hot-dipped galvanized and offers various glazing beads to accommodate glass units ranging from 4mm to 20mm double-glazed for external applications. Additionally, it can be finished in any RAL colour, bronze-like finish, metallic finish, or left as bare steel, providing versatility to suit diverse aesthetic preferences.
W40 EXTERNAL STEEL
The W40 range represents a progressive step forward from the renowned W20, first introduced in 1995. Retaining its predecessor's timeless design, the W40 features an increased profile depth, enabling it to accommodate double-glazed units up to 27mm thick, thereby enhancing thermal and acoustic performance.
Characterised by its graceful and compact sightlines, the W40 is renowned for its "heavy-duty" build, which allows for manufacturing external doors with heights up to 2500mm.
Versatility is not just a feature; it's a defining characteristic of the W40 range. It offers a myriad of options for both inward and outward openings, including side-hung, double-vent (French style), bottom-hung, top-hung, horizontally and vertically pivoted windows, as well as sliding and folding doors, catering to a wide range of architectural and design needs.
