Stay Safe This Winter With Internorm Doors

The wintertime can present unprecedented issues that you may not expect, with colder nights, colder days, and adverse weather conditions. It is important that you ensure your home is safe and secure from the weather we typically see in the UK during this period, whether rain, snow, frost, or high winds.

One way you can ensure your home’s safety and energy efficiency is by installing Internorm Aluminium Doors. There are multiple benefits of aluminium doors, including improved protection from exterior threats and enhanced thermal insulation to keep your home warm throughout the winter. At ecoHaus, we supply and install Internorm entrance and sliding doors constructed from timber or aluminium, delivering an array of benefits, such as reduced energy bills and outstanding aesthetics.

The Benefits of Aluminium Doors

As mentioned above, there are multiple benefits of aluminium doors, many of which we will outline in this article. Firstly, these doors have a long-lasting lifespan and deliver fantastic thermal efficiency alongside contemporary aesthetics. 

During the winter months, you’re likely to experience more expensive energy bills and might be wondering what other ways you can keep your home warm. Read on for tips and insights on how our Internorm doors will make your living space more comfortable and energy-efficient.

Upgrade to Thermally Efficient Triple Glazing

One way of making the most of your home’s warmth is to upgrade to thermally efficient triple glazing. While double glazing is a cost-effective solution, triple glazing offers low U Values of 0.8W/m2k, utilising three thick panes of glass to trap warm air to positively impact the thermal insulation of your property.

The low U values of 0.8 are rarely exceeded, meaning you will benefit from a warmer home all year round. What’s more, triple glazing has no cold spots, removing worries about draughts entering your home. If your aluminium entrance door reaches Passive House Requirements, U values as low as 0.75 W/m2k can be obtained, providing even more warmth.

Fantastic Soundproofing Capabilities

Another benefit of aluminium doors is their fantastic soundproofing capabilities, helping to keep your conversation private, parties uninterrupted, and neighbours happy. Additionally, our Internorm doors keep noise from the outside away from your home, using a multi-layered plate to offer fantastic sound insulation – perfect if you live in a loud neighbourhood or on a busy street, with loud noises reduced to a whisper. Get peace of mind over time.

Keep Out External Threats

Our HS330 Timber Lift Aluminium Sliding Doors have been accredited by Secured by Design, an initiative backed by the police to ensure your living space is safe. All our doors are PAS 24 tested, which is a measurement to ensure that windows and doors can repel attacks from opportunist burglars.

With the help of ecoHaus and Internorm, you can keep your family and belongings safe from external threats and peacefully enjoy warm, dark winter nights.

Low Thresholds Keep You Safe From Trip Hazards

When you choose our Internorm doors, all options are available with a low threshold – great for preventing trip hazards and accidents, which is ideal if you have children running around. When implementing Internorm doors, you can be confident that every minute detail has been considered, with these little features resulting in extra comfort and peace of mind.

Aluminium Is One Of The Strongest Materials on the Market

It is worth mentioning that aluminium is one of the strongest materials on the market, helping you stay secure during the worst weather conditions. It is emphasised by a slender frame, supporting massive panes of glass for enhanced natural light.

These panels are durable, dealing with robust knocks from intruders, deterring them from attempting break-ins. Internorm doors are some of the most durable on the market, so you will feel confident that they will protect you against tough winds and flying objects.

Stay Secure With RC1 and RC2 Protection

All our Internorm doors offer RC1 and RC2 protection as security, which will help stop intruders from breaking in. This security technology, combined with the extra glazing, ensures crowbars and saws won’t be able to pry their way open. We also have optional security measures available, such as cylinders, signal lights, and door blocks, which will increase your safety for longer.

Our Internorm Door Collection

Now that we have covered the benefits of aluminium doors, we thought it would be good to include the other door types available here at ecohaus. Our Internorm doors are available in a uPVC aluminium composite, providing low maintenance and high weather resistance, and timber aluminium, available in multiple colours and types of timber. 

These modern timber doors will absorb and lose heat slowly, giving you fantastic insulation in the winter, and because timber is a good temperature insulator, it will last for many years and beyond, enhancing your safety and security.

Timber doors also significantly cut out travelling sound as well, resulting in a quieter home.

Conclusion

We hope this article has helped you understand the benefits of aluminium doors and how Internorm doors can help you stay safe and secure this winter. The toughened aluminium these doors are made from can be upgraded to triple glazing for increased thermal efficiency and added security.
