Four-pane passes PAS24
6th December 2016

The PremiLine PRO patio door from KÖMMERLING has achieved PAS 24 in a four-pane variant, using a single door set for the entire testing procedure and without the need for additional plunge bolts.

PremiLine PRO was originally launched in August 2015 as the first PVCu patio door that could achieve PAS 24 and could meet the standards for operational handle height of no more than 1200mm from the floor within the Lifetime Homes design criteria.

The PAS 24 procedure involved a 15 minute test with human intervention of crowbars and other hand tools, followed by the mechanical loading of 37 different points on the door, which were subjected to half and quarter tonne loads in different directions. Additional human intervention, along with soft and hard body impact testing was all carried out on the same door.

PremiLine PRO in this four-pane variant will carry Secured by Design certification, which will also be extended to three-pane alternatives and a triple track design.

Kevin Warner, head of sales and marketing at Kömmerling commented: PremiLine PRO is without question the most secure PVCu patio door system in the UK whether in the 2, 3 or 4 pane variants, thanks to physical testing. No other patio door can satisfy the needs of consumers, housebuilders or social housing specifiers with the same degree of confidence.
