Frames
and architraves
Within the Plasform® range, four popular frame sections
are available with radiused edges in a wide choice of finishes,
although special sections can also be provided. Sections are
produced to suit common standard partition widths of 100, 113,
126 and 144mm, although other widths can be accommodated.
Plasform® Mono, Cubith and Barum sections are available in
either MDF or hardwood to suit particular requirements. These
frames can be wrapped in various materials for a
maintenance-free, easily cleaned surface that matches the
overall appearance of the doorset. Alternatively frames can be
supplied primed for paint or fully polished.
As an alternative to timber frames, Leaderflush Shapland
offers the Solo and Split Solo steel frame which can be supplied
either powder-coated or in a stainless steel finish.
Pre-prepared holes are incorporated for site fixing, concealed
by flush, PVC or steel discs to match the frame finish.
Special Sections
A wide range of other
frame designs in various materials can be provided to suit X-ray
protection, FD90 and FD120 fire ratings, acoustic performance
and other specific requirements. Information on these can be
found in our Extended
Performance Range literature, or particular requirements
can be discussed with us.

Seals
Intumescent fire seals are an integral part of the
Plasform® design. Additional seals can be added to meet
smoke, sound reduction and air leakage requirements specified.
Air-leakage test results to BS 476 : 31 : 1 under various
pressure differentials are available for air balancing
calculations. For fire rated doors, intumescent seals (tested to
BS 476 Part 22) are fitted to the postformed edge and door head.
Meeting stiles on door pairs have bladed seals to stop light,
as shown below. It is also possible to factory-fit recessed drop
seals to meet sound reduction and air control criteria.
Plasform Pivette
The Pivette range is based on a unique design of two-leaf
articulated door, developed to minimise door swing area whilst
maximising clear opening width. Doors are easy to operate
manually, needing only light pressure to move aside and well out
of the way. Complete, factory-finished, prehung doorsets are
supplied as standard including frames, track and suspension
systems, for straightforward installation and reliable
operation.
Pivette doorsets are particularly suited to healthcare and other
buildings where space is at a premium or accessibility
important. Pivette offers cost-effective solutions to a wide
range of design problems presented by Part M of the Building
Regulations, BS 8300:2001 and The Disability Discrimination Act.
Taken in total, these can apply to existing properties as well
as new buildings.
