Davisafe Doors 

SPECIFICATIONS OF DAVISAFE DOORS AND FRAMES 

(A) DOORS

Construction Design: Seamless press moulded design construction.

Materials:

Door panels – Thermosetting Polyester resin and satin textured polyester gel coat.
Reinforcements – Designed Formulated combination of chopped stand mat and 3 layered glass fibre mats.
Structure – Stile and sub rail frame of seasoned wood.
Core – Honeycomb hard board and/or Medium density Poly Urethane foam.
Colorants: UV stabilized high gloss pigments.

Process:

Polyester resin applied with the formulated combination of Chopped strand Glass fibre mat and 3 layered, oriented glass fibre mats to give multi directional reinforcement. The outer faces of the door undergo an application of an “in-mold” tough satin textured coloured gel coat. Finally, the two faces are simultaneously fused with all the edges of the door under pressure until completely cured – not only to the sub frame but to the entire Board Honeycomb. Molding pressure and resin gel time is calculated and adjusted to allow for penetration of resin into the cellular structure of the core.

Dimensions:

Thickness: Normal standards –- 30mm (± 2mm)  OR as per clients requirements.
Length and width: Normal standards – Width = 0.65 mts to 0.85 mts; Height = 1.8mts to 2.15 mts OR,  As per clients requirement.
Laminates: 2.0 mm thick total including gel coat.

Hardware :

Hardware should be fitted on the specified locations of the door using standard stainless steel wood screws. Number of Hinges will vary from 3 nos of 4” for smaller doors and 4 nos of 5” for bigger doors. All surface hardware can be screwed or thru bolted. Any specific hardware requirement will be considered on request subject to the design feasibility of the door specifications.

 (B) DOOR FRAMES

Construction Design: Seamless press moulded design construction. 

Materials:
Frame panels – Thermosetting Polyester resin and satin textured polyester gel coat.
Reinforcements – Designed Formulated combination of chopped stand mat and 3 layered glass fibre mats.
Structure – Full frame of seasoned wood.
Core – Medium density Poly Urethane foam.
Colorants: UV stabilized high gloss pigments.

Process:

Polyester resin applied with the formulated combination of Chopped strand Glass fibre mat and 3 layered, oriented glass fibre mats to give multi directional reinforcement. The outer faces of the frame undergo an application of an “in-mold” tough satin textured coloured gel coat. Finally, the complete frame structure is fused with all the edges on the internal wood frame and Polyurethane reinforcements of the frame under pressure until completely cured. Molding pressure and resin gel time is calculated and adjusted to allow for penetration of resin into the structure of the frame.

Dimensions:

Thickness: Normal standards –- Cross section –- 100mm x 55mm – Hole pass fitment –- 45mm x 40mm – Screw fitment
Length and width: Normal standards – Width = 0.75mts to 0.95 mts Height = 1.8mts to 2.15 mts
Laminates: 2.0 mm thick total including gel coat. 

Hardware:

Hardware should be fitted on the specified locations of the frame.
Hold pass type – Hold pass of 5” should be fitted using stainless steel 1” screws.
Direct screw type – 4” stainless steel screws to be used.
Any specific hardware requirement will be considered on request subject to the design feasibility of the door specifications.

COMMON INSTRUCTIONS FOR OUR FRP DOORS AND FRAMES
Installation:

Doors: Installation should be started only on completion of the fitment of floor tiling and frame.Fitment procedure on wooden, concrete, marble or FRP door frame is the same and should be carried out by experienced fitters.Hang as per recommended screws for hinge attachment.  Install doors to swing freely and to stand open at any angle.  After installation make final adjustments to hardware to allow for proper door operation and latching.

Frame:Davico Composites recommends FRP door frame, be fitted by using wall hole pass system.5 “Hole pass retainer to be usedHowever for doors within 0.7 mts wide x 1.8 mts height special screw type frames are available. These frames can directly be screwed to the wall. Stainless steel 4” screws should be used for this type of installation.CleaningClean the exposed surfaces of FRP doors and frames with a mild, non-abrasive soap solution and water.

Warranty

Warranty all fiberglass doors and frames for a period of 5 years against failure due to corrosion caused by natural environmental conditions. Additionally, warranty all fiberglass doors and frames on materials and workmanship for a period of 5 years, including warp, separation or delamination, and expansion of the core.

Guarantee shall not cover failure due to incorrect installation or mishandling causing damage and corrosion from exposure to other than the specified environment.

Note:

  1. Other specific or non standard requirements may be would be considered on clients request and availability of the required materials.
  2. The requirement may not be considered if it adversely effects in any way the functionality , aesthetics and life of the product.
