What if my door is larger than 5 meters?

Troubleshooting

Door still has draughts after replacing gasket

Ensure the gasket is fully seated in the groove and that you have the correct gasket profile for your specific AluK door model. Check if the threshold gasket (AF613/RX612) also needs replacement.

Gasket is difficult to install

Clean the groove thoroughly. Applying a small amount of soapy water to the gasket can help it slide more easily into place. Ensure the gasket is not twisted.

Gasket seems too long or too short

Confirm you have selected the correct product length. If slightly long, carefully trim the excess with a sharp knife. If too short, you may need to purchase a longer length.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Restores door's seal to prevent draughts, noise, and leaks.
  • Improves thermal insulation, reducing heat loss.
  • Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance.
  • UV-stable material prevents premature degradation.
  • Helps lower energy bills by improving home efficiency.
  • Easy to replace and install.

Cons

  • Specific profile may not fit all AluK bifold door models; verify compatibility.
  • Requires purchasing the correct length to avoid waste or insufficient coverage.
  • May require a second person for easier installation on longer doors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This gasket (AF615) is specifically designed for AluK aluminium bifold doors. It is intended to fit horizontally along the outer edge on the underside of the door leaf, working alongside the AF613 (RX612) threshold gasket. Always confirm your door model and the required gasket profile before purchase.

Setup & Installation:

  1. Ensure you have purchased the correct length of gasket for your door.
  2. Remove the old, worn gasket by carefully pulling it from its groove.
  3. Clean the groove where the gasket sits to remove any dirt or debris.
  4. Starting at one end, gently push the new gasket into the groove, working your way along the edge. A small amount of soapy water can help it slide more easily, but ensure it dries completely.
  5. For longer doors, having a second person to help feed the gasket into the groove can prevent stretching and ensure a neat finish.
  6. Trim any excess gasket length if necessary, ensuring a clean cut.

Care:

  • Periodically clean the gasket with a damp cloth to remove dirt and prevent buildup.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material.
  • Inspect the gasket annually for signs of wear or damage.
