Double glazed DOORS

Double glazing is a method of creating windows with two layers of glass that have an argon space and spacer bar between them. Double-glazed windows and doors are designed to reduce the loss of heat and exclude external noise, making them an ideal product for houses and properties. Although some double glazing air space can range from 6-28mm, when simulating Australian conditions, a gap of 12-16mm provides the best thermal performance. One glass panel should have a low-E coating to better retain heat while blocking damaging UV rays.

Double glazing offers convenient comfort and security levels all year round. In addition to the glazing, minimal air leakage is important for thermal efficient windows and doors. Double glazing is necessary for modern homes to block unwanted heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. Low conductive frame material (ie. timber), compressible gaskets and supporting hardware are additions you should consider.

Double glazing is only one component that contributes to performance. The frame, gaskets and hardware, as well as the level of craftsmanship, all influence the quality of the product.

A door leaf is any panel in a door system that opens and closes

A concealed hinge is one that is not visible when the door is closed, allowing a clear and aesthetically pleasing line. Miglas offers this option for all hinged doors. Additionally, the hinges can be purchased separately for other door systems.

Bifold doors consist of three or more panels. These doors are top-hung with doors hinged off of each other. The doors fold into one area providing a large uninterrupted view. Wide openings can be achieved with the multi-leaf design. Combinations of up to eight leaves are possible to create a smooth transition from living areas to a terrace, balcony or garden.

These doors have two opening leaves, an active and a slave that opens either internally or externally. French doors are designed to open the space to a terrace or to an outdoor area while giving you the option to open one or both doors. High-quality German-engineered and manufactured multi-point locks and hinges provide smooth operation. Five lock-points and two (or three) hinges on each leaf offer a superior solution to ensure security. Both leaves have a handle for easy opening. In combination with the gaskets French doors satisfy the requirements for thermal efficiency. Non-visible, and 3D-adjustable hinges are available.
