Understanding PAS 24: What It Means for Installers

Security, aesthetics, and durability. Three vital components that are critical in the makeup of modern properties. They’re the three factors that should be considered as a priority when shaping the façade of commercial properties. Popular Types of Commercial Aluminium Doors for Modern Businesses There are various options to choose from when looking at commercial aluminium doors. Here at BDC Aluminium, we have you covered on all fronts. If you’re looking for external doors, we have multiple to choose from, like our Smart Alitherm 400 doors, designed to complement our 400 window range for a comprehensive look across the property. If it’s bifolding doors you require, we offer the Visofold 6000, the perfect solution for traditional projects that require a heritage look with the modern touch needed to meet regulations and ensure compliance. Similarly, we offer the Visofold 1000 Slim, which, as its name suggests, hosts even slimmer profiles and narrower sightlines than the 6000. To aid in achieving a professional, routine look for commercial buildings, we also provide Smart Wall Shop Fronts and MC Curtain Walling. The former offers an aluminium screen and door system designed for commercial applications. Flexible configurations and advanced security features make them the perfect solution for retail stores, educational facilities like schools and colleges, as well as other high-traffic environments. The latter is an equally versatile architectural solution for the facades of more modern buildings. They’re engineered for seamless integration with other Smart’s window and door systems and are ideal for their easy installation on both low and high-rise buildings. Key Performance Factors for Commercial Aluminium Doors We know how important it is that our systems perform as well as they look. For projects and developments, various requirements must be met to gain approval. As such, we ensure that all our products meet the modern standards required. Take our Curtain Walling systems, for example. They excel in the thermal performance department, achieving u-values as low as 0.85 W/m²K. They’re also Document L Compliant and CWCT Certified, so you’ll have no issue in having them approved for use in your projects. BDC Aluminium’s systems are built with robust profiles, strong hardware, and PAS 24-accredited locking systems to deliver reliable protection for commercial properties without compromising on style or usability. Our doors are designed for lasting durability, and our powder-coated finishes ensure they withstand the test of time. Our finishing process works to resist rust and corrosion, battling any tough weather conditions you’d typically face in the UK.  Design and Aesthetic Flexibility of Commercial Aluminium Doors One of the greatest strengths of our commercial aluminium products lies in their versatility. The natural strength of aluminium allows for slimmed sightlines and larger glazing areas, which in turn help us to create varying styles and configurations depending on what your project requires. Whether it calls for a contemporary storefront or something that leans towards a more traditional style, you can rely on BDC Aluminium to match your vision. Our extensive range of finishes includes popular RAL shades and added design flexibility with our dual-colour options. Choose one of our standard powder-coated colours or go bespoke to meet the requirements of a specific finish request.   An added benefit of working with BDC Aluminium is our capability to cover all your commercial aluminium needs.
