The Warmcore Folding Sliding Door System from the well known systems company Synseal is a brand new bifolding door with a new generation of “warm aluminium”. Designed as a completely new product, Warmcore bifolding doors offer excellent thermal performance in the way they are constructed.
The Warmcore Folding Sliding Door System
The Synseal Warmcore Bifolding Door offers excellent thermal performance thanks to its thermal core. Older generations of “non thermally broken” aluminium suffered from cold bridging where the transfer of cold would pass from the outside to the inside.
Older technology in thermal breaks such as resin pour and cut methods, improved the thermal efficiency of doors and windows. In recent years the thermal break technology moved to Polyamide thermal breaks which offered even greater performance plus the ability to provide dual colour products much easier than before.
A multi-chambered core is at the heart of the Warmcore Door.
The substantial non metal core of the Synseal is the key focus of the product that gives its excellent thermal performance. With only small aluminium extrusions on the inside and outside faces of the product it has all the appearance of an aluminium bifolding door.
The inner core of the product features a multi chamber construction that aids structural strength and provides the thermal capabilities of the product.
