There are many advantages of Glazing, some of which are:
- Halspan allows glazed apertures to be incorporated in fire doors without reducing performance.
- All geometrical shapes are acceptable.
- Apertures: Halspan solid core door is capable of tolerating relatively large glazed apertures.
Panel Style Doors: A minimum of 2 panels and a maximum of 8 are permitted. Selection of geometric shapes for panels is also permitted. As an alternative to Flush type door leaves, panel appearance designs are now widely available which mostly reproduce traditional fielded paneled design. They are made using combination of solid timber and / or Veneered panels with substantial intumescent reinforcement. Some designs employ molded door skins which are glued to both sides of a fire resisting central core.
Facings: Halspan is suitable for lamination, veneering, clear lacquer, paint, plastic laminates and metal sheets. Their fine hard surfaces minimize preparation time and grin-through and ripple effect, found with other types of door construction, are eliminated.
Painting: It is not essential to add paper or veneer before painting. Both primer and finish may be applied by spray, roller or brush direct onto Halspan.
