Cutting corners?
16th June 2020

Anglo European has launched a new aluminium bi-folding door cleat aimed at cutting fabricator manufacturing costs.

Recognisable by its distinctive ‘heart’ shape, the cleat is available for a range of leading systems, including AluK and also features an increased wall thickness, while it claims a purchase price roughly half that of systems companies.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, the Anglo cleat is extruded by its in-house extrusion business Aluminium Shapes.

Lee Marriott, group business development director, said: “The shape of the cleat is as a heart, but it isn’t a gimmick – it actually makes alignment easier. If you’re trying to slot in a standard cleat with right angles it can be ‘cluncky’. They catch. The curves on our cleat mean that it ‘self-locates’ as it slides in.

“This makes fabrication a little bit quicker but at roughly half the price, the savings to the fabricator are far more substantial, especially against a wider context of increased market demand.”
