In our efforts to help our customers Duration Windows now offer
a fully aluminium quad trim which can be colour matched and used with our
extensive product range.
Visual representation of our new ali quad trim
This new quad trim promises to help you finish your install
to a high, clean and professional standard. When you have completed installing
one of Duration Windows aluminium products, mastic and seal around the edge between
the product and wall then simply apply the aluminium quad trim using the tape attached.
The sealant you applied will then adhere to the trim and provide a firm grip
with a perfect visual finish guaranteed to satisfy your customers. With our
trim being colour matched to the product this also eliminates having to use a
silicone that does not coordinate (for example if the product is red) and provides
a quick and perfect finish.
Here at Duration Windows we understand that it's tough out there. That's why we are slashing the prices of all our aluminium bi-folding doors. For January only we will be selling bi-folding doors with up to £100 OFF, per panel.
This guide provides a detailed explanation of how we suggest
to toe and heel our doors. This is for use as a guide only as each set of doors
are unique and may require different levels of packing in the toe and heeling
process (amount of packers used). Please use your own judgment and if unsure
please contact an experienced installer or our technical department.
The red sections display where to toe and heel on a 3 panel
door all one way.
The yellow sections display the final fix packer position.
Start by toe and heeling the panel attached to the frame
first and work towards the traffic door (Or slave door).
Packers are supplied in a range of sizes which are colour
coded for ease of use. Packers used in this guide are an example only. Each
door is unique and will require different levels of packing. Always use a range
of packers to best suit the door being toe and heeled.
When toe and heeling use a glazing shovel where needed.
Place
2-3 packers at the bottom of the door on the hinge side. (number of
packers depends on door tolerances)
Place
glazed unit into door frame.
Pack
the top of the unit on the handle side of the door. Use a variety of
packers until the glazed unit sits firm in place.
Pack
the side of the unit on the handle side of the door. Use a variety of
packers until the glazed unit sits firm in place and square within the
frame.
Pack
the side of the unit on the hinge side of the door. Use a variety of
packers until glazed unit sits firm in place and square within the frame.
Lastly
pack the top side corner on the hinge side of the door. Use a variety of
packers until the glazed unit sits firm in place. This will help keep the
glazed unit square and in place.
Check
door is completely level with the outer frame. If not add or remove
packers where needed.
Once
all panels have been toe and heeled check door is running correctly and
that the locking system works correctly.
If
required silicone the packers on the uprights of the door into place.
(this will prevent the packers from moving).
Finally
clip bead into place.

Our Heritage window range at Duration Windows is now available in a dual colour of white on black.
With dual colour windows you can achieve that period feel needed for the exterior of your property - but still have a more modern feel to your interior. Black outside with white inside is currently offered at the same price as an all-white window – but hurry as this deal could expire at any time.
This fantastic and unique range of textured paint finishes is ideal for both modern architecture and restoration projects. Trend colours' have a broad pallet of colours that are pleasing to the eye and to the touch. They offer a unique finish to windows and doors, which will make an individual statement and set your property apart from the crowd.
In the past if you had a bifold with an even number of panels folding in any direction it was impossible to offer outside access due to the way the handles function.
But with our new Pendulum handle (which is available on the Durafold 1000) all this has changed. These handles can now be used on the interior and exterior thus creating outside access for your even panelled door.
The handle can also be used on traffic doors thus offering continuity on your bifolding door. The overall look when using the same style of handle on all panels of the door is certainly pleasing to the eye.
With its slim design and easy operation this handle offers the perfect balance in style and function.
