AA®250 and AA®425 Thermal Entrance Doors
A new kind of thermal roadblock
As architects and building owners look for ways to decrease a building’s energy consumption and energy costs, the need for thermally efficient products has increased throughout North America. Kawneer continues to set the standard in thermal performance with its innovative AA®250 and AA®425 Thermal Entrance Doors. In conjunction with Kawneer’s high-performing frame, the doors offer improved thermal efficiency compared to a standard door. By combining critical elements within the product design, the AA®250 and AA®425 Thermal Entrance Doors create a superior thermal roadblock. The thermal roadblock formula includes thermal breaks in the door, door frame and threshold that isolate the interior metal components from the exterior metal components; a door rail and stile design with a double air cavity provides an added layer to the thermal barrier; and dual weathering around the perimeter of the door in conjunction with a low conductance polymer door stop minimizes air infiltration.
The benefits of Kawneer’s AA®250 and AA®425 Thermal Entrance Doors extend beyond industry-leading thermal performance. The company has introduced design flexibility in hardware options and injected value to support virtually any budget. Advanced thermally broken systems allow building owners to take advantage of tax incentive programs and green building certifications such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®)*. And, with its proven performance and welded corner construction, Kawneer’s AA®250 and AA®425 Thermal Entrance Doors are the ideal choice for any commercial or institutional application.
