INCONSPICUOUS DRAUGHT STRIPPING FOR STEEL DOORS
»»
DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A NEAT way of draught-proofing internal steel doors , the W20 profile end cap is now available from Steel Window Association , and can be factoryfitted into the bottom of internal pivot or sliding doors of any size .
Steel bridges the contemporary and traditional aesthetic , in a way that is unachievable with other materials such as timber and aluminium , while providing solidity without being overpowering . Glazed steel screens allow excellent visibility and the passage of maximum light between different areas ; from boardrooms and wine cellars to kitchens and showers , in commercial and residential projects .
The end cap offers an inconspicuous alternative to the brass draught strips that have traditionally been surface-mounted along the bottom edge of doors . The new , specially moulded profile is made of rolled aluminium and installed to close off the W20 end section during the fabrication of the door ; it is finished to match the door ’ s colour . The draught stripping then slides into the aluminium section with the option of either a rubber strip or a wool pile brush strip which can be of varying sizes depending on the width of the gap under the door .

»»
OVER TWENTY YEARS , WEST Porthas established itself at the forefront of Britain ’ s timber fenestration sector , providing some of the country ’ s finest wood windows and doors , and working with some of the biggest names in UK construction .
Given the continuing rise of high-end glazing , fuelled by aspirational end-users looking for products that boast both stunning aesthetics and outstanding performance , West Port saw a huge opportunity to make headway in the trade sector , as Managing Director Sean Parnaby explains :
“ Consumer tastes have changed drastically over the last ten to fifteen years . Where once homeowners were happy with white uPVC , many are now interested in anything but .
“ We ’ ve seen the rise of aluminium , then socalled ‘ timber alternatives ’, as end-users sought out timber aesthetics without the supposed drawbacks .
“ But they ’ re now discovering that those ‘ drawbacks ’ no longer exist . Modern timber is the most stylish , sustainable and versatile material on the market .“ That , combined with the world-class craftsmanship and exceptional service we offer here at West Port , account for the flood of new customers we ’ ve brought on board this year . We ’ ve had 50 since January , and expect many more before the year is over .”
