The new NASSAU Energy Sectional Door combines optimal insulation values, large inflow of light and a revolutionary design all within one door. It offers an innovative solution that reduces the consumption of energy without compromising on functionality and quality. Designed in consideration to the intensified demand for low insulation values (U-value), the new NASSAU Energy window sections are a patented solution built from a 44mm aluminium frame with a filling of 4mm scratch resistant acrylic (SAN) outside, 3mm standard acrylic (SAN) in the middle and 3mm scratch resistant standard acrylic (SAN) inside offering a triple-glazed window solution. The outside glass is mounted directly on the aluminium frame and gives an exclusive and aesthetic design that offers great harmony in the total appearance of the door. At the same time the door leaf is constructed with broken thermal bridges in the foam that ensures that outside temperatures will not be transported through the door leaf and into the building. The combination of highly insulated polyurethane foam and effective broken thermal bridges gives outstanding insulating values. Furthermore, the construction ensures that the aluminium frame is not in direct contact with outside temperatures, which reduces the cold transmission through the door significantly. The Energy door isn’t the only new thing to come out of NASSAU in recent weeks. NASSAU launched its new website in June allowing customers to see the full range of Sectional Doors, including the Energy door and revealed its working partnership with the DYNACO range of High-Speed Doors. The website; which can be viewed at www.nassau.co.uk features their product range split into 5 easy to manage areas, starting with Sectional doors before moving on to DYNACO high speed doors, Roller Shutters, Steel Doors and finally Industrial Docking Bay products. “Being able to offer our customers a new way of thinking with regards their industrial door solutions is always at the forefront of our commitment to quality and service, the NASSAU Energy door does just that.” said Stewart Plant, UK Marketing Manager (AM Group); “By removing the individual windows and allowing for the new patented sections to offer uninterrupted light across the width of the door, we have maintained the insulation in the form of the triple-glazed windows but at the same time allowed for a vast increase in the amount of light that can be brought into the working space.” The NASSAU Energy doors can be colour coded, with a choice of standard preferred colours or the option to select any BS or RAL colour. They can be supplied in sizes up to 5000mm in width and 6175mm in height. For more information on this or any of the other products NASSAU can supply please ring them on 0800 046 3254 or email info@nassau.co.uk. ALUTECH LAUNCH NEW ALUMINIUM PERFORATED LATH SECTION As part of the development of the UK market for aluminium shutters, Alutech had been asked to provide a perforated shutter lath specifically to complement the range of aluminium roller shutter components it supplies for the UK market via its UK distributor JD UK. The perforations rather than being small round holes are slightly larger and oval in shape 15mm x 6mm to be precise. This larger perforation provides 29% more light and vision than a normal perforated shutter, whilst still maintaining the rigidity and security necessary for many applications. It complements the existing range of 56mm lath, that is currently available in solid and punched versions, enabling a shutter of mixed lath type to be constructed. For further details or a sample of the lath please contact Paul or Steve at JD UK on 01924 472 924 or email paul@jdukltd.co.uk for further details or prices. Full stock is held in the UK for nationwide fast delivery. 26 THE door industry journal summer 2014
