Door double glazing

Highly durable PVCu - Visage doors   Highly durable PVCu door double glazing

Constructed with 3-chambers, the profile allows separate drainage and reinforcement. All frames measure 70mm from front to back allowing the replacement of traditional 3" timber frames with the minimum of 'making good' remedial work. The PVCu system is also bevelled to provide a slimmer, more attractive look.

Manufactured to BS 7413, the British Standards for PVCu window extrusions, the profile carries a full 10-year guarantee against discolouration and degradation.

Internal beading - Visage doors   Internal beading

All Visage® doors are internally beaded. This means that the beading that secures the glass into place is located on the inside of the frame and cannot be removed from the outside - helping to make Visage® one of the most secure systems on the market.

Fully welded frame - Visage doors   Fully welded frame

Some door frames and porches are manufactured with the PVCu lengths mechanically joined. This 'nuts and bolts' method can often lead to the frame being less strong. Water can find its way into joints and extreme temperatures can cause points of weakness. With Visage®, all joints are welded. This means that the window is a homogeneous structure, providing integral strength to the frame.

Hookbolts - Visage doors   Hookbolts

Rollercams - Visage doors   Rollercams

The rollers smoothly guide the lock into position enabling the hook to secure into place. Just as important, the rollers force the door against the frame providing excellent compression and a weatherproof seal.

Stainless steel door lock - Visage doors   Stainless steel door lock

The Visage® lock is manufactured in stainless steel which means it is highly corrosion resistant. In coastal areas this is of particular benefit because you can rely on the mechanism to provide consistent smooth operation time and time again.

The lock is approved by the Association of British Insurers with the components tested on a full friction operation to 100,000 cycles.

Galvanised steel reinforcement  - Visage doors  

Galvanised steel reinforcement

In areas deemed necessary, Visage® doors are reinforced with galvanised steel, including both sides of the outer frame. Furthermore, all locking keeps are screwed into reinforcement. As well as giving extra strength in load-bearing situations, the steel reinforcement stops any expansion or contraction problems that may otherwise occur in the future. All Visage® woodgrain products come fully reinforced as standard.

Corrosion resistant fixings  - Visage doors   Corrosion resistant fixings

As with all hardware on the Visage® door, even the fixings are guaranteed against corrosion for a full 10 years. The screws are tested for 500 hours in a salt spray chamber to ensure their quality. This is seven times longer than the requirements for BS 7412 - the British Standard for PVCu construction.
