Maximise space with AluK
sliding door systems
According to recent Royal
Institute of British Architects,
research, lack of space and
lack of natural light is one
of the most cited causes of
dissatisfaction with the home.
Consumers and specifiers want
solutions that help maximise
living space, and meet aesthetic
and performance demands.
Russell Yates, AluK MD
comments: “AluK sliding door
systems provide homeowners with
wide expanses of glazing that allow
the natural light to flood into the
rooms, while performing to the
thermal, acoustic and security
standards demanded.”
AluK’s BSC94 and BSC70
sliding door systems offer a variety
of design features such as dual
colours, allowing different colour
finishes for inside and out, as
well hardware and accessories to
help achieve the right look and
performance.

Jack Door
awarded Q-Mark
for enhanced
security
Aluminium systems
company, Jack Aluminium
has achieved a BM TRADA
Q-Mark certification under
the Enhanced Security Door
Scheme for its thermally
efficient, Jack Door TD68.
The Q-Marked Jack Door
TD68 complies with the testing
requirements for Secured by
Design (SBD).
Jack Door TD68 is engineered
for high levels of security and
as a result carries the PAS 23 &
24 accreditation. It is becoming
widely specified and the Q-Mark
certification means fabricators
can now achieve Secured by
Design as well.
Jack Aluminium has also
produced a manufacturer’s
manual to give fabricators
the assurance that they are
consistently producing Jack
Door TD68 to the required
standards of Q-Mark. Fabricators
can then achieve Q-Mark for
the Jack Door product through
independent verification by a
third party certification body.
Jeff Pearson, sales director at
Jack Aluminium says:
“Many projects now specify
a requirement for independent
certification from the door
manufacturer. Having the
Q-Mark will mean customers
can achieve this accreditation
using the Jack Door TD68 door
and allow them to tender for
Secured by Design contracts,”
adds Jeff.
