How do automatic draft excluders for armored doors work?
Our armored side draft excluders which feature an
automated mechanism are in great demand. This is because, simultaneously with the closing of the door, they allow the descent of a rubber gasket. This tire generally has a triangular section with the vertex pointing downwards and continues its guided movement automatically until it touches the ground. Then the same mechanism, moved by a button positioned between the door and the leaf of the jamb, raises the seal when the door opens. This system allows not to create any friction with the floor.
The automatic ascent and descent mechanism of the gasket that we have just described has increasingly evolved over time. To date, it is certainly
the best draft excluder for armored doors . Due to the movement of the seal it is commonly referred to as a "
door guillotine ". In the most modern versions, which we had the opportunity to advise you a little while ago, the gaskets are made of silicones and extruded rubbers with excellent acoustic resistance and excellent fire resistance, and allow to reach truly remarkable levels of performance in terms of energy savings. and thermal insulation.
What are the materials of which draft excluders for doors are made?
We know that the door is often opened and closed several times a day and therefore the material must be wear-proof. For this reason, one of the most important characteristics of a draft excluder is
the material . For automatic draft excluders the reference material is
aluminum , while for those that are fixedly mounted there is a wider choice. In all cases it is important to choose a waterproof material that does not deform quickly.
Did you know that draft excluder models were once made of sponge? A very economical solution! unfortunately with the passage of time the sponge lost its ability to isolate and became too stiff. For this reason today on Windowo we offer you the most effective products that are thin, ductile, resistant to deformation and waterproof.
