ABOUT TRU-VUE FOLD DOORS SYSTEM
TRU-VUE FOLD doors and frames have premium grade Schlegel® weather seals and patented high performance stainless steel folding/sliding hardware. Every door and frame is “double sealed”, front and back, to prevent draft and water ingress. The bottom of the frame on standard door sets incorporates a unique timber/aluminum combination sill design, utilizing an aluminum sub-sill for optimum drainage, and is specifically designed for use in external wall installations. In circumstances where TRU-VUE FOLD door sets are to be fitted internally within the home or between a conservatory or sunroom, a “flush sill” option is available, which can be set directly into the floor to achieve a flush appearance.
All door sets feature 1” thick Low E Dual Glazed Glass, which is tempered and provides the highest standard R value in the industry. “Tempered” means TRU-VUE FOLD glass is up to five times stronger than standard glass and, for safety, exhibits similar properties to a car windshield when broken, shattering into small pieces rather than highly dangerous shards. All doors and frame sets are made from engineered timber, including a laminated hardwood core, which provides added stability and reduces twisting, bowing, warping and splitting.
Each access door has a robust, 3-point security locking system. Additionally, all door sets incorporate internal drop bolts in between each folding “leaf”, which slide up and down into the timber head and bottom sill of the frames for increased security. All door sets are top hung, so unlike temperamental and troublesome bottom roller systems, they won’t jam or stick if slightly clogged with everyday dirt and debris. A “top hung” system is mechanically the most efficient method. This means all the weight hangs from the top, so it is imperative that an adequate header is over the opening and that the TRU-VUE FOLD frame head is securely fixed into the header.
The majority of components are pre-machined for ease of assembly. Frame screws, special header screws which don’t require anchors. (Designed for a standard opening. Some applications, such as timber-framed houses, may require alternate screws.) Comprehensive installation instructions are included.
