Construction
TopTo ensure total protection of a structural opening, a complete doorset is essential.
This will typically consist of a lead lined door frame with with leaded stops and leaded architraves on both sides.
Sliding doorsets have similar leaded linings with lead fascia panels, posts etc.
Doors are fitted with special hinges, pivots or top hung sliding door gear, complete with pelmet, bottom guides etc. These purpose-made units are factory assembled. The doors are removed from frames for easy transit.
All doors have a solid core construction, lipped on the long edges but with the lead extending to the full door size.
Hinged double doorsets with equal or unequal leaves are fully lead protected at the meeting stiles. Doorsets can be manufactured to suit existing or new structural openings.
Frames or linings can be extended to suit any wall thickness and manufactured to match the profile of any non-x-ray doorsets.
Please note: Our meeting stiles are not rebated.
