Although our doors passed all the necessary requirements for achieving PAS23 & PAS24 - we were not content with our pass mark for our weather resistance.

In January 2007, after slight but very significant tweaking of our threshold configuration, we re-tested our doors with amazing results.

In the sidebar on the right, we have uploaded an excerpt from our test results showing our achievement of "800 Special" - an almost unheard of result for composite doors with low access aluminium thresholds!
