Reducing the risk of hardware manipulation, ASSA ABLOY Security Doors’ high security steel doorsets can be designed with a Flush Astragal option, providing greater design choice for architects and specifiers. The astragal sits flush on a step on the doors’ inside edge, ensuring the astragal sits flush, making the door less vulnerable to attack. Supplied fully assembled, a Flush Astragal can also be more aesthetically pleasing, thanks to its streamline appearance. The attractive flush surface also prevents light gaps at the top and bottom of doors and protects against the build up of dirt and germs, making them ideal for cleanroom applications. In addition, the secure seal provided by the Flush Astragal on ASSA ABLOY Security Doors, helps with building efficiency and safety, restricting the passage of heat and smoke between building areas. Brian Sofley, Commercial Director for ASSA ABLOY Security Doors, said: “The Flush Astragal is yet another design option for specifiers and architects looking to work with our high security steel doors, and further emphasises our comprehensive range. “The additional benefits that come with this type of doorset profile – such as smoke and weather protection, as well as enhanced security – make it a popular choice amongst specifiers working on a variety of applications.” ASSA ABLOY Security Doors’ technical support team can assist in the planning phase, when a specifier can capitalise on the brand’s comprehensive technical expertise, extending this support through to the tender stage, with specification texts and design recommendations. Plus, ASSA ABLOY Security Doors’ on-site engineers can assist with installation and practical support, seeing a project through to completion.
