New High Performance Inward Opening Aluminium Residential Door Threshold
Lidco is pleased to announce the release of a new high performance aluminium residential door threshold. The 100mm Weathershield™ inward opening door threshold (LSS-517) seals your door preventing water penetration and air leakage. The design of the door threshold also dramatically reduces energy losses and noise.
This threshold has been designed to complement the Lidco Lifestyle™ Entry Door – 150 System and can also be used with 75mm timber doors.
A standard outward opening door threshold (LSS-508) continues to be available.
Key Features
Self-draining
Avoids the need for cumbersome after-market doors seals
Can be used in the timber door market
Slim low profile design
Suitable for single and double doors
Sill baffle for better weather performance
Same tooling as for the existing outward opening threshold
Lidco is proud to announce the launch of a brand new Premier Range of window and door framing suites designed with thermal efficiency and style in mind. This new range includes the DuoTherm™ systems and features 100mm and 120mm frames, allowing it to easily couple with Lidco 100mm framing without unsightly rivets and screws.
Key features include full length woolpile on the DuoTherm™Sliding/Stacking Door and DuoTherm™ Sliding/Stacking Window systems to seal top and bottom gaps, resulting in ultra low air-infiltration making these systems ideal for air-conditioned buildings. The full length woolpile also improves the acoustic abilities of both systems. All three DuoTherm™ systems accept up to 10mm single glazing and up to 24mm double glazing without the use of adaptors.
The DuoTherm™Awning/Casement Window also features low air infiltration and high water resistance, making it suitable for many applications including multi-storey apartments. It has an attractive flush external look and features an extra strong sash design and solid corner stake allowing for large sash sizes. The chain winder is able to sit flush on the sill or transom with no overhang.
The new Premier Range has been designed to share common sections, allowing easy integration between systems and reduces the number of sections required for fabrication. The new range of Lidco framing systems will be both easy to specify and efficient to manufacture.
Lidco is pleased to announce that its popular range of window and door suites and commercial framing systems are now available on V6. This well-known estimating and manufacturing software package is developed by Soft Tech, a market leader in fenestration software.
Existing users already know the many benefits of using V6. Fabricators can easily build a virtual model of the frame and from this model generate a multitude of reports including quotes, bills of material orders, optimised fabrication sheets, cutting plans and shop drawings, all at the touch of a button. Production processes, such as material workflows, can be optimised to maximise throughput and minimise waste and downtime.
Please contact Anne Coulter of Soft Tech on 1300 139 980 for more information on obtaining the Lidco database on V6.
