The Eku Porte series comprise aluminium and aluminium thermal-break profiles for internal, external and industrial doors.
Eku thermal-break profiles are produced by joining two aluminium profiles (internal and external) via 6.6 polyamide composite strips reinforced with 25% glass fibre. This brings together the strength and resistance of aluminium and the outstanding insulating capacity performance of polyamide.
All profile assembly processes are carefully monitored and carried out in full compliance with legislation currently in force in order to guarantee the very best in terms of quality.
External Eku doors allow the installation of large door fittings in either glass or panels for the most demanding aesthetic or functional needs, whilst guaranteeing strength and excellence in terms of home comfort.
Furthermore, resistant large-scale industrial doors are also available. These can be produced with panels, featuring a wide range of potential opening mechanisms, that have an excellent profile modularity to meet the needs of industrial manufacturers.
External Eku Porte doors allow the installation of large-scale doors and industrial doors that – depending on the combination of insulating glass, panels or frames employed - are in full compliance with heat transmission rate limits as stipulated by current Italian legislation governing construction industry energy-saving (Law decree.192, 2005 and Law decree. 311, 2006).
Eku Porte profiles for external doors guarantee a significantly higher degree of thermal insulation compared to non-insulated profiles. This reduces not only the amount of heat loss via the fitting but also the emission of air pollutants associated with the energy employed in heating or cooling the house or building, thus allowing constant energy-saving.
Replacing an old window unit with a new thermal break fitting can reduce by as much as 100 euros f your heating bill for each square metre of glass. Furthermore, it is also possible to take advantage of state incentives for energy-saving improvements to existing buildings, including 55% tax relief, introduced in 2007 and extended by the 2008 Finance Bill for years 2008-2010
