It’s official – XtremeDoor is hurricane
proof, 19% more thermally efficient
than a solid core composite door
and can keep a riot squad at bay.
XtremeDoor, the new high
performance composite door,
from Vista was recently put
through a tri of rigorous tests
to see how weather resistant,
thermally efficient and secure
it really is – and passed all
three with flying colours.
The assessment test for
weather tightness was carried
out at Winkhaus Laboratories
on XtremeDoor Glazing
system and was terminated
after XtremeDoor withstood
2000 Pascals. A pascal is a
unit of pressure, equal to one
newton per square metre (N/
m2). To put this figure into
perspective, 670 Pascals equates
to a Hurricane (which is a
wind speed of 75mph) – and
XtremeDoor exceeded this by a
factor of three.
This followed on from a
thermal performance test that
concluded XtremeDoor is 19%
more thermally efficient than
the solid timber core composite
door and 17% more thermally
efficient than the traditional
timber panelled door.
In this test the University of
Salford took a composite door
manufactured with a 44.5mm
Nan Ya composite door slab,
which is a key component in
XtremeDoor, and pitted it
against a 48mm solid timber
core composite door and 44mm
timber panelled door.
The doors were tested in a
typical 1919 terraced house
that had been reconstructed
in a fully environmentally
controllable chamber, in which
climatic conditions can be
maintained, varied, repeated
and patterns monitored. For the
test, the inside temperature of
the Energy House was 25C with
an exterior temperature of 5C.
After extensive testing the Nan
Ya composite door was found
to be 19% more thermally
efficient than the solid timber
core composite door and 17%
more thermally efficient than
the traditional timber panelled
door.
Finally the doors security
was put to the test by Greater
Manchester police. A member
of the police riot squad battered
the door for an extensive period
but thanks to XtremeDoor’s five
point lock he was unable to gain
entry.
