Schüco has released ADS 65 HD Gen2, a new version of its door system with increased weathertightness and thermal insulation for applications subject to heavy use in residential and commercial buildings.

With a new centre gasket system and large insulation chambers, the door can achieve watertightness to Class 7A, air permeability to Class 4 and wind load resistance to Class C2. Its U-value has been reduced from 2.2 in the previous model to 1.4 W/(m2K) ensuring the door system is compliant with the new Part L building regulations due to come into force in June 2022.

The updated door system also benefits from a barrier-free level threshold with surface water drainage providing trip-free access. Smart building components, such as Schüco Fingerprint Easy and fully automated electric locks, can also be integrated into the profile system.

In terms of fabrication and installation, no new machinery or training is required. The upgraded door system follows virtually the same process as the first-generation door enabling easy, economical fabrication and fast installation.
