Aluminium & Wood Systems

This 70mm 2¾" system combines a solid section of wood cladding to the inside and aluminium to the outside, leaving a clean modern look to the outside and a more traditional appearance to the interior décor of the building. With numerous special features and in a range of interior and exterior colours and finishes, this combination wood and aluminium door range is the ideal solution for all structures.

It offers a strong, durable and maintenance free finish outside while still providing the warmth and character that timber brings inside.

The wood frames are dipped into an anti-rot, and anti-fungal treatment to protect the frames from both the harsh rays of the sun and water ingress. They are then finished to your specification using either a natural stain or a RAL colour of your choice, or if preferred we can provide the doors unfinished so you can paint or stain to your desired finish.

PVCu / Vinyl

Matching your existing PVCu windows with our PVCu bi‑fold door is easy!

Developed by FSDC in 2003 this 70mm 2¾" system is constructed from aluminium reinforced PVCu profile. We use only the finest profiles available with attributes for strength and having fantastic thermal values.

The 70mm 2¾" PVCu frame is one of the most widely used materials in the window and door industry and with good reason. The thermal efficiency of PVCu  far surpasses many other materials meaning your home will stay the right temperature and keep your heating and cooling bills low.

All PV71 systems can be customized with a choice of colours, woodgrain finishes, hardware, thresholds, glazing options and can be manufactured in as little as five days using standard colours. 

A matching range of windows and doors are available.

Powder coating

All of our aluminium products are powder coated which exceeds the current industry standard. There are hundreds of RAL colours that you can choose from.Our powder coatings have a life expectancy of up to 25 years and are maintenance free.To choose your colour accurately and to get a more precise idea of what the colour looks like, it is advised that you obtain a printed RAL colour chart from your local decorators' merchant.

Translucent Wood Coatings & Custom colours

All of our wood products are factory sprayed as standard with the highest quality coatings on the market. Choose a natural stain to enhance your choice of woodgrain or choose any RAL paint reference to match an existing building project or existing windows and doors, or if you prefer left natural, the choice is yours.Our factory spray coatings are applied to the timber in three coats at 250 microns per coat, this is comparable with up to 15 coats of brush-applied paint.Our factory spray coatings are low maintenance and have a very long-life span, up to 10 years before requiring first maintenance.
 

Our standards are high

Double glazed, argon filled, Low-E coated toughened (tempered) glass, 1⅛" / 28mm constructed units fitted with Super Spacer® Bars
4mm toughened glass outside, 20mm cavity and 4mm toughened Low-E glass inside.
Low-E (K) coating on the inside, gives the glass better thermal properties and allows most natural light to enter freely but reflects a significant portion of short-wave heat energy. In summer, long-wave heat energy radiating from objects is reflected back outside, lowering cooling cost. In winter, internal longwave heat energy is reflected back inside, lowering heating costs.

Toughened glass is a safety glass, shatters into small pieces, is about 4 times stronger than standard glass, is resistance to thermal stress and impact resistance. Argon, has a 34% lower thermal conductivity than air.

Bottom Track Options

We manufacture an inline out of sight track system, this track system is strong and secure, and all running gear is concealed (which ever option you choose) and is resistant to attack from potential intruders, we offer both inward and outward opening options. Our flush track option is also water resistant, many other systems do not offer these options.

There are threshold details to suit all applications, some people prefer a step on the inside and outside, some prefer a step on the outside only. But for the many, they prefer flush threshold that blends the inside floor with the outside floor, especially those with children, elderly or someone in a wheel chair.

Wood Systems

The natural look timber provides, enhances traditional builds and is ideal for internal room dividers.

Engineered and Aluminium Re-Enforced Hardwoods in Oak, Eucalyptus as standard (other species TBD)

For a traditional or natural look you can’t beat the feel and warmth that timber brings.

All our engineered and aluminium re-enforced hardwood systems are expertly crafted by our fully trained staff, and all our profiles are engineered to give extra strength and to reduce expansion and warping. Engineered lamination is the technique of manufacturing a material in multiple layers, so that the composite material achieves improved strength, stability and sound insulation.

The wood frames are dipped into an anti-rot, and anti-fungal treatment to protect the frames from both the harsh rays of the sun and water ingress. They are then finished to your specification using either a natural stain or a RAL colour of your choice, or if preferred we can provide the doors unfinished so you can paint or stain to your desired finish.
