FAQs
What does 'RH Open' mean?
'RH Open' stands for Right Hand Open. This means that when viewing the door from the outside, the hinges are on the right side and the door opens inwards from the right.
What is the U-value and why is it important?
The U-value measures how effectively a door insulates. A lower U-value indicates better insulation. This door has a U-value of 1.1 W/m2K, meaning it is highly efficient at preventing heat transfer, thus saving energy.
Is the glass toughened safety glass?
Yes, the door features a toughened safety glazing unit that is designed to be more resistant to breakage and safer if it does break.
What is included in the package?
The package includes the door slab, frame, handle, PVC cill, glazing packers, and all necessary hardware for installation, including hinges and locks.
Can I install this door myself?
While the package includes installation components, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fit, function, security, and to maintain any warranties.
How do I maintain the black PVCu frame?
Clean the frame with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
What is the Argon gas fill for?
Argon gas is used between the panes of glass in the triple glazing unit. It is denser than air and a poorer conductor of heat, significantly improving the insulating properties of the glass.
Troubleshooting
Door is difficult to open or close
Check that the frame is square and plumb. Ensure hinges are properly adjusted and lubricated. Verify that nothing is obstructing the door's movement.
Lock is stiff or not engaging properly
Ensure the door is fully closed and aligned within the frame before attempting to lock. Lubricate the lock mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant or light machine oil. Check for any debris in the locking points.
Condensation on the glass
Minor condensation on the exterior of the glass is normal, especially in humid conditions. Significant condensation *between* the panes indicates a seal failure, and the glazed unit may need replacement.
Drafts around the door frame
Check that the weather seals are intact and properly seated. Ensure the frame is securely fixed and that there are no gaps between the frame and the wall opening; these may need sealing with appropriate mastic or expanding foam.
