Industry Suppliers Announce New Offerings

The new Visur double-acting pivot system from Dorma Glas enables the installation of all-glass double acting doors without any visible fittings, the company explains. All hardware components for both single- and double-door configurations are completely concealed in the surrounding structures of the door panel. Because of its unobtrusive appearance, the Visur system gives architects freedom to create unique designs without the concern of conflicting door hardware, the supplier adds.

Dome'l has added the Dominator and Hurricane doors to its product line. The doors are manufactured using laminated glass with a strong interlayer that is designed to absorb the impact of airborne objects while preventing shattering. Additionally, this pre-hung door system utilizes thermally insulated aluminum throughout the frame, door and threshold for energy efficiency and durability.

To combat noise, Saflex, a unit of Solutia Inc., has developed SilentGlass technology which combines three interlayers designed to decouple and disseminate sound waves for state-of-the-art sound dampening performance. The patent-pending product's acoustical interlayer transforms sound energy into heat energy, which then easily and quietly dissipates. The technology targets sound in the 1,000 to 3,000 Hz range, which is the "noise transparency" range that lets most of the noise through. This range of noise includes car horns, barking dogs, amplified music and aircraft.
