Read Full ArticleSchüco has released a new generation of its tried-and-tested ADS 65 HD door system for entrances and exits subject to heavy use in residential and commercial buildings.
The second generation of the aluminium door system combines increased weathertightness and thermal insulation with ease of operation and high stability.
Its compatibility with the Schüco modular system and its different fitting options, offers flexibility in terms of application and design for both newbuilds and renovation projects.
Part L
Thanks to its new centre gasket system and large insulation chambers, the Schüco ADS 65 HD Gen2 can achieve watertightness to Class 7A, air permeability to Class 4 and wind load resistance to Class C2.
Its U-value has been reduced from 2.2 in the previous model to 1.4 W/(w2k) ensuring the door system is compliant with the new Part L building regulations due to come into force in June 2022.
Accessibility
The ADS 65 HD Gen2 door system also benefits from a barrier-free level threshold with surface water drainage providing trip-free access. Smart building components, such as Schüco Fingerprint Easy and fully automated electric locks, can also be integrated into the profile system.
Familiar set-up
In terms of fabrication and installation, no new machinery or training is required. The upgraded door system follows virtually the same process as the first-generation door enabling easy, economical fabrication and fast installation.
