FIT SHOW 2016 CLEVER AGILA BRAND AT FIT »»The FIT Show marked the launch of REHAU’s new AGILA brand targeted specifically at the doors market. It includes sliding and multi-fold doors, a Passivhaus door, composite door and a fire door, and is designed to allow customers to manufacture, install and sell a proven REHAU product for every door application. AGILA encompasses all of REHAU’s specialist door systems which can be made in addition to standard PVC-U window and door profiles. Crucially, they all suite perfectly with REHAU TOTAL70, allowing REHAU customers to offer a formidable product combination in their chosen market sector. Revealed for the first time at FIT was the AGILA sliding door, which offers contemporary slim sight lines to let more light in, and competes head on with aluminium with larger maximum sizes and multi-pane configurations. It has a clever triple track frame option which means it is easy to create stunning configurations of up to six panes with four of them sliding, without needing a separate frame connector. The AGILA multi-fold door is already a well proven and popular door system, and, at FIT, the latest low threshold assembly was showcased. The door also now features new integral gaskets to speed up fabrication and a clip-on low threshold sill to make it easier to install. The AGILA Passivhaus door allows customers to take advantage of opportunities in this fast growing sector of the commercial market. Using REHAU’s RAUFIPRO™ fibre composite technology, it achieves U-values as low as 0.7W/m²K and outstanding acoustics up to 50dB, and comes with a choice of stylish, contemporary door panels.
