Low threshold
French door
passes the test
»»Halo fabricator, YWC Group
has announced successful BSI testing and
accreditation for its mobility threshold
Secured by Design French door.
The project brought together technicallyadvanced Halo profile with the input of
leading threshold manufacturer Stormguard
and global window security experts Avantis
Hardware Ltd., to create a doorset that
complies with all current BSI criteria while
providing unhindered floor-level access,
crucial for wheelchair users and people with
mobility difficulties.
YWC chose Halo’s System 10 profile as
the basis for the doorset – a product that is
widely used for a range of window and door
applications due to its already-impressive
thermal insulation, noise reduction and
security credentials.
The profile features an additional chamber,
allowing for galvanised steel inserts to

provide extra strength and rigidity, while a
secondary seal on the beading offers improved
weatherproofing. With a WER ‘A’-rating as
standard, the Halo profile was a natural choice
for the project.
Kevin Taylor concludes: “With our PVCu
French doors now combining the strengths
of Halo’s System 10 profile with Stormguard
and Avantis hardware we have a product that
maintains YWC’s trademark security and
building regulation compliance.
