Aluminium MasterLine 8 Door System

Manufacturer guidance

• Profiles extruded from EN AW-6060 (AlMgSi0.5 F22) aluminium alloy to comply with BS EN 573-3 and BS EN 573-4.
• Designed and manufactured to comply with BS 4873.
• Door vent frame members are 87 mm front to back and mitre cut at 45°. All corner joints are assembled with screwed corner cleats, thermal corner supports and rebate supports and glued. All joints are glued sealed during fabrication against water entry. Consult manufacturer for further details.
• Profiles are insulated with polyamide strips, 25% glass fibre reinforced to BUtgb approval, separating the internal and external faces, mechanically jointed and glued to form a single compound profile with a minimum shearing force of 30 N/mm (statistic average).
• Dry glazed to accommodate a wide range of single, double and triple glazing units with internal clip-in aluminium glazing beads.
• Extruded synthetic rubber ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) weather-stripping gaskets to DIN 7863 and ISO 3934, set in undercut grooves in the frame and vent.
• CE marked, and fully compliant with the EU Construction Products Directive (CPD) to the relevant product standard BS EN 14351-1 for windows and doors and BS EN 13830 for curtain walls.
• The manufacturer guarantees that the system meets the technical specifications and standards of the country and the product in question. The current processing and maintenance regulations mentioned in the manufacturer's catalogues determine the extent of this ten-year guarantee (five-year guarantee for wearing parts). Consult manufacturer for details.

Aluminium is one of the most recycled materials on Earth and can be recycled endlessly into itself. It is 100% recyclable and retains its properties indefinitely.

Manufacturer guidance

Due to the global limited availability of recycled aluminium, the objective to increase recycled content to 75% doesn't have any environmental benefit. Increasing recycled content for 1 project or product only means other projects/products contain less. 

However, Reynaers Aluminium works closely together with its suppliers to ensure a correct % of recycled content. As there is a variation between the recycled content provided by these suppliers, we communicate the annual averages. 

For specific projects, Reynaers Aluminium can select a supplier with high recycled content, possibly with price impact and extended delivery times. 

​To improve the environmental impact of aluminium, Reynaers Aluminium focusses on following important aspects:

• Use recycled content: work together with suppliers to ensure the use of recycled content.  
• Purchase low carbon primary aluminium: decrease the CO2 impact of the primary aluminium, which is necessary to produce extrusion billets, by using low carbon primary aluminium, produced by green electricity (primarily hydro power). 
• Work closely together with European Aluminium to improve the global impact of aluminium production and improve sorting and recycling.

This approach has the most impact as it combines short term with long term improvements of the aluminium industry, to make a clear environmental shift.
