BOTTOMS UP: P C HENDERSON INTRODUCES NEW BOTTOM ROLLING HARDWARE FOR TIMBER FOLDING DOORS P C Henderson is pleased to announce the launch of its much anticipated Securefold Bottom Rolling hardware – a folding door solution that carries the load of the doors at the bottom of the system, removing the need for major structural building support. Designed for timber framed exterior doors, the new hardware is ideal for applications where top hung structural support is often lacking such as in conservatories, extensions, orangeries and outbuildings. Securefold Bottom Rolling allows P C Henderson to cater for a much more niche type of market where perhaps product options for end users are slightly limited. As well as utilising advanced bottom rolling technology, the system also features some further innovative design elements, including the roller being purposefully situated directly underneath the door making it barely visible when the doors are closed. Eliminating the need for an often restricting upper beam also frees up design space – a feature which may be of particular interest to architects and designers. The cleverly designed system is perfect for new builds as well as retrofitting onto existing properties. It caters for timber framed doors measuring a maximum of 3000mm x 1000mm x 68mm (H x W x D), with a maximum weight of 80kg. Its components feature sophisticated technology that provides users with a smooth fingertip operation. Made from Marine Grade 316 stainless steel for enhanced weather and corrosion resistance, it is available with a variety of different hinge options and 4 different colour finishes including satin, polished chrome, PVD black and gold. P C Henderson’s online Expert Specification Tool is available to help with specifying sliding or folding door projects of any nature with detailed digital brochures available for download from its new website.
