A
World Of Choice
Van Isle patio doors are available in a variety of colours and styles
to fit any home decor. Our standard colour is white, but virtually any colour is available as an option using a
specially formulated coating which is guaranteed not to chip, crack, flake, or cause
the window frame to warp or buckle. Internal
grids are available. High performance glass may
be added to enhance thermal efficiency and meet Energystar rating
requirements.
Made To Last A Lifetime
Van Isle patio doors are constructed from hollow, multi-chambered,
high impact resistant polyvinyl chloride that won't warp or fade
over time. All component parts are made from painted aluminum alloy
or stainless steel to resist corrosion. Reinforced vertical mullions
add structural stability and strength. The integral fin is strategically
placed for added support and ease of installation. Van Isle patio
doors open on tandem nylon rollers with stainless steel ball bearings,
so they open smoothly and evenly for life.
Keeps The Cold Out
Vinyl is heat loss efficient - so cold doesn't pass through and
heat doesn't escape. In addition, the construction techniques of
Van Isle patio doors add to their energy efficiency.
- Hollow chambered frame minimizes heat conduction.
- Welded corners provide a weather tight bond.
- Continuous weather stripping for airtight construction.
- "Warm edge" glazing units give excellent insulating
value.
Materials
All frame sections, meeting rail and sash members are multiple-chambered,
hollow construction, highimpact resistant PVC. All component parts,
accessories, and fastenings are aluminum alloy, stainless steel,
plated steel, or non-metallic materials which resist corrosion.
The perimeter frame contains a pre-punched nailing fin for easy
installation.
Construction
Perimeter frame corners and sash members are mitered and welded
together to form a rigid weathertight bond. All units are constructed
so as to drain any moisture freely to the exterior using a low point/high
pressure weep system.
Colour
The PVC is a solid colour throughout with ultraviolet reflective
properties to protect against discoloration and is available in
white as the standard, but virtually any colour
is available as an option using a specially formulated coating which is guaranteed
not to chip, crack, flake, or cause the window frame to warp or buckle. Colours
may be applied to the inside or outside or both sides of the door to meet your
design requirements.
Warm Edge Glazing
Insulating glass units are hermetically sealed to provide a warm
edge, moisture free dead air space and are NFRC certified. Tempered safety glass 4 mm. thick is used in all patio doors.
Hardware
Sliding panels glide on tandem style nylon rollers and are equipped
with a secondary locking system which is foot operated for ease
and provides additional security. Ventilators are fully weatherstripped
around the entire perimeter with a moss and mildew-proof wool pile
weatherstripping, silicone treated to repel water. Locking handles
are steel mortise type.
