| STANDARD SPECIFICATION Gate Frame
Eurofold’s
extra strength is gained from the gate frame, which is formed
from unique
double channel vertical
pickets made from galvanised steel, 1.2mm thick. These are
interconnected by 2mm thick galvanised cold formed lattice
bars. The gate frame is top hung from a ball bearing pulley connected
to the picket by zinc plated pulley brackets. At the bottom
the frame is fitted with zinc plated bottom guide pieces
designed to run in a bottom track. Leading Edge
The high security leading
edge strengthens the shutter further and is manufactured
from a galvanised section, which incorporates
pull handles. A draught excluding overlapping section is
provided. Eurofold shutters are less susceptible to vehicular
damage as the moving leading edges are always in the eyeline
unlike vertically rising products which regularly sustain
damage before reaching the fully opened position. Shutter Leaves
Extra strength and ease
of operation is gained from the full height galvanised steel
shutter leaves 305mm wide x
1.2mm thick. These are formed into a unique detail around
3mm diameter strengthening wires to provide a continuously
interlocking weather tight elevation when interconnected
by securely capped galvanised hinge strips. Top Track
The standard top track from
which the shutter is suspended is constructed from two galvanised
steel sections 90mm deep,
bolted together to give a strong smooth running section for
the shutter thus minimising friction. Only a small amount
of headroom is required for the top track and variable packing
is provided to allow adjustment in height during longer term
service requirements. Bottom Track
The bottom guide pieces
are retained within a galvanised steel special 3mm thick
bottom track. Cover Plate
A galvanised steel weather
cover panel is provided over the top of the shutter leaves
which is bolted to the top
track and supported by straps to give security and weather
protection. End Panels
For doors face fixed behind
and bunching clear of the opening a neat draught resistant
closure is provided from galvanised
steel sheet end panels. For increased security single doors
close on to a galvanised steel slam channel (25mm x 25mm)
fixed full height to the operating structure. Fixings
All shutters are supplied with
appropriate fixing bolts for the top track, back fixings,
locking channel and where
applicable for end panel and cantilever brackets. Shutter Arrangements
Eurofold shutters
are supplied to fit internal, between or external of opening
structure, shutters are supplied single
(bunching to one side), or in a pair i.e. bi-parting, manual
or as an extra, electrically operated.
