Thermally Broken Hinged Door

Protect your home or business with secure and energy-efficient Elevate™ hinged doors. 

  • These quality doors deliver excellent thermal performance and are ideal for commercial and high-end residential applications.
  • Available to fit double or single glazing options with glass widths between 4mm and 28mm.
  • Combine with ThermalHEART™ CentreGLAZE™ and FrontGLAZE™ framing to achieve maximum energy efficiency.
  • When combined with double glazing, hinged doors will become heavy and for this reason, Series 852 doors come standard with an adjustable heavy-duty hinge to ensure maximum durability and easy movement.
  • High tensile frame-bolts ensure long term durability. The doors can even be configured as sliding/stacking door (see Series 852S).
*Maximum Frame Height and Panel Widths indicated are interdependent and subject to individual site conditions.

Key Features / Performance Characteristics

  • Series 852 hinged doors are an innovative thermally broken aluminium commercial door system designed to complement the Elevate™ Commercial thermally broken CentreGLAZE™ and FrontGLAZE™ framing systems.
  • Incorporating ThermalHEART™ technology, Series 852 hinged doors deliver excellent thermal performance and are ideal for commercial and high-end residential applications where minimising heat or cold transfer is desired.
  • To enable excellent thermal performance to be achieved, a "Thermal Break" is incorporated which separates the inside and outside elements of the frame providing an insulator to minimise the transfer of heat or cold between the elements.
  • This insulating strip is manufactured from polyamide and delivers the same structural properties as aluminium to ensure the integrity of the system is maintained.
  • Series 852 commercial hinged door system incorporated fully beaded 50mm thick heavy duty door stiles and rails designed to accept 28mm IGUs.
  • We also offer a range of snap-on glazing beads to allow us to fit thinner glass – down to 4mm thick.
  • Hinged door stiles have been designed to accept wide backset (34mm and 38mm) locks. The greater the backset the easier it is to access the key.
  • Double glazed hinged doors will be heavy and for this reason we have designed an adjustable heavy duty hinge.
  • Captive co-extruded glazing wedge option (illustrated) reduces the chance of vandalism.
  • Top and bottom rails are secured to stiles with heavy duty spigot fixed to thick backing plate with high tensile bolts.
  • Can also be configured as sliding/ Stacking door see Series 852S.
