Window and Door Technology: Advanced Barrier-Free 0 Thresholds
Barrier-Free 0 thresholds
Mestre Raposa International® stands out for its innovation in the design of wood windows and doors, as demonstrated by our Barrier-Free 0 thresholds. These meticulously designed solutions, compliant with DIN 18040 standards, represent a significant advancement in terms of accessibility and functionality in modern architectural projects.
Over 20 Years of Expertise in Accessible Wood Windows and Doors
For more than twenty years, we have been at the forefront of using flat thresholds with a height of 20 mm, meeting the accessibility requirements of the DIN 18040 standard (for people with reduced mobility – PMR). Our thresholds integrate seamlessly into wooden patio doors and wood entrance doors, facilitating access for people with reduced mobility while ensuring both aesthetic and functional harmony.
The Revolutionary Barrier-Free 0 Threshold for Wood Windows and Doors
In addition to our traditional thresholds, we are proud to offer the revolutionary Barrier-Free 0 threshold, an innovative product launched by Alumat in 1996. This magnetic threshold, with zero-centimeter elevation, is ideal for various types of wood and wood-aluminium doors. It is highly appreciated by architects and planners for its superior functionality and aesthetic appeal, making it a popular choice for contemporary design projects.
Applications of the Barrier-Free 0 Threshold Beyond Residential Use
The Barrier-Free 0 threshold is versatile and suitable not only for residential environments but also for commercial spaces such as hotels, restaurants, retirement homes, hospitals, and daycare centers. Its advantages include:
- Exceptional Sealing: The Alumat threshold provides optimal protection against wind and rain, ensuring a dry and comfortable interior regardless of external weather conditions.
- Enhanced Insulation: Our thresholds offer superior thermal and acoustic insulation, contributing to more energy-efficient and quieter spaces.
- Improved Accessibility: Designed with inclusivity in mind, our thresholds facilitate movement for all individuals, including those with mobility challenges.
- Durability and Low Maintenance: Thanks to their wear-resistant design and lack of mechanical components, our thresholds are built to last and require minimal maintenance.
- Passive House Compatibility: Our thresholds meet the strict standards for passive houses, promoting the creation of sustainable and eco-friendly living spaces.
