This new Schueco system retains the basic profile depth of 70 mm but offers an ultra- slimline configuration with central meeting stiles that measure just 48 mm. The result is that the fully glazed doors deliver the clearest possible views with minimal visual interruptions, whilst still maintaining the maximum door height of 3m. In order to deliver maximum design flexibility, the ASS 70.HI DE comes in a wide range of colours and if required, the inside and outside frames can be specified in contrasting colours. Similarly, a range of opening types based on a double track configuration makes the doors suitable for almost any commercial or domestic project. The final noteworthy benefit of the Design Edition door is that it is equipped with two-component insulating bars: these have been developed specifically for door leaves that are subject to marked differences in temperature between the outer and inner profile components. www.schueco.com Industry-leading marketing package » » WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE marketing support that Distinction Doors offers, you quickly realise it offers the same level of market-leading quality and innovation as its doors.
