PS-SERIES (POLYSTYRENE)

 

The PS-Series flush doors are designed to meet the architectural most demanding requirements for standard duty to maximum

duty full flush doors. Polystyrene slab core is known for its insulating properties and is mainly used for exterior applications,

where a higher temperature differential from one side of the door to the other side is required.

As described by HMMA / NAAMM – USA (National Association of Architectural Metal Manufacturers-United States of America):

“Polystyrene core doors are the most commonly specified insulated core and are suitable for exterior applications

requiring an R-factor (a measure of insulating performance-Thermal resistance and measure of ability to retard heat

flow) of up to 6.50``

 

 

• Pre-foamed polystyrene slab, thermal insulation core.
• Standard board thickness 43 mm of nominal density 18 Kg/m3. (DIN 53420).
• Thermal Conductance (43 mm): U = 0.152 Btu/hr.ft2.ºF. (ASTM C177).
• Thermal Resistance: R-Factor = 6.6 hr.ft2.ºF/Btu (ASTM C518-63T).
• Fire Retardant (DIN 4102 Class B1). Ignitability designation “P” according to BS 476, part 5.
• Core is chemically bonded to face sheets providing total surface support.

• Seamless design.
• Higher density polystyrene slab.
• Beveled or flush welded glass beads.
• Alkyd, polyurethane or epoxy RAL paint finish (factory applied).
• Non-handed reversible design.
• Vision panels, louver kits, transoms and sidelights.
