U values for the new Residence Door collection by Apeer have now been confirmed by formal testing which showed the solid doors perform better than the Passive House Institute standard, at 0.51 W/m2K (Passivhaus standard is 0.89 W/m2K and better).
The figure confirms that the collection, including doors with glass cassettes, will also comfortably outperform the anticipated requirements of the Future Homes standard for new build homes.
Traditional, contemporary and stable door designs are included in the range, with 78mm quadruple sealed glass units as standard where relevant. Construction uses GPR skins around a PU core, reinforced with aluminium anti-cut through security mesh embedded in the core of each door. Performance is enhanced by weather deflectors, and Stormguard or full frame thresholds.
The range comprises nine standard colours (seven grained and two smooth), with the availability of full sidelights and top lights immediately and half lights and others to follow.
The Residence Door Collection by Apeer is the result of a collaboration aimed at producing a range of residential doors that complement the market leading Residence Collection windows, but which will be available through Apeer.
