INSULATION:

 
The insulation is a fire retardant polyurethane foam injected at a density of 49 kg/meter³ (3.6 lbs/foot³) as per norm ASTM C-518 for thermal resistance and ASTM E-84 for flame spread at <25 and smoke at <450. C.F.C. free.

For all heated buildings, it is highly recommended 100 mm thick doors to save energy. These 100 mm thick doors pay themselves year after year.


 
COUNTERWEIGHTS BOX:

 
The counterweights box is manufactured from 1.6 mm thick Z275 galvanized steel sheets, sizes as per the door list, with a minimum height of 2440 mm. The counterweights are in steel. The counterweights are guided by cables all through their trajectory. The box is designed to permit easy access without problem to the counterweights for repairs if necessary.


 
TRACKS:

 
Doors up to 150 kg will be guided in 50 mm tracks 2.4 mm thick. Doors exceeding 150 kg will be guided in 75 mm tracks 2.8 mm thick. The Z275 galvanized steel tracks are supplied with 11.43 cm x 3.81 cm x 2.8 mm thick continuous steel angle. The vertical tracks are inclined.


 
COUNTERBALANCING MECHANISM:

 
The friction free drive mechanism consists of using three cable drums (to the manufacturer's option) mounted on a solid cold roll shaft. This 25 mm minimum cold roll shaft is secured to the bearing plates with pillow blocks. Each counterweights set is suspended from one pair of drums using two cables. The diameter of the galvanized steel aircraft cables is in accordance with the weight and the dimensions of the doors, 7 x 19 construction, with a safety factor of 7:1.


 
HARDWARE:

 
The drums used will carry the door weight. Each door section is joined together with 3.3 mm thick hinges independently of the quality of the door. The top corner brackets will be multisections safety corner brackets that will automatically lock the door in the tracks and simultaneously cut the power to the motor, if the door is electrically operated, in case of a cable or roller chain parting. The heavy duty bottom corner brackets are in galvanized steel. All hardware will be fastened to the doors with 4 mm diameter galvanized steel rivets.


 
WEATHERSTRIPS:

 
An aluminum extruded channel is fastened underneath the bottom section in which slides the U-shaped santoprene weatherstrip. The U-shaped santoprene can be replaced by an AGDS type safety edge to serve as weatherstrip as well as safety when the doors are electrically operated.

An aluminum extruded channel with a triple contact santoprene weatherstrip is provided for the outside perimeter.


 
FINISH:

 
The doors are painted on both sides with one coat of 26 microns epoxy primer and coat(s) of 48 microns acrylic/polyurethane finish paint to obtain a certified thickness of 74 microns.

The colours are at the architect's choice.
