Mounts
No. 1057 Wall Mounts
are recommended whenever possible. They require
5 inches of wall space above the door for mounting.
Wall mounts provide an overlap at each edge
of the door.
No. 1058 Header Mounts are used where a permanent
door or other obstacle prohibits the use of wall
mount. The header mount will be cut to any length
as ordered.
Door size
Height and width dimensions should
be measured inside the door frame.
Wall mount doors are supplied in 1-foot increments.
Door sizes will be rounded to the next higher increment.
Header mounts will be cut to the length ordered and
enough strips will be supplied to cover the next larger
door size.
Strips will be cut to length to fit the door size
and style of mount ordered.
Strip doors will not totally restrain strong winds
or eliminate drafts due to negative pressure conditions.
They will reduce air movement which in turn reduces
windy conditions and the loss of temperature controlled
air.
Strip size
No. 1060 8" wide by 0.80" thick
strips are recommended for interior doors
up to 10 feet high where there are light drafts
and small temperature differences.
No. 1061 12" wide by 0.12" strips
are recommended for interior or exterior
doors up to 14 feet high where there are light winds
and larger temperature differences.
Overlap
Standard overlap provides a partial
overlap at the edge of each strip. This design is
recommended for areas of light drafts and small temperature
differences and for easier passage of people.
Material Finishes
Aluminum extrusions shown
are alloy 6063-T5. They are available in mill finish,
clear, gold and duranodic dark bronze finish as noted.
Bronze extrusions are alloy 385 architectural bronze.
They are furnished in mill finish, which is a light
brass color. Another color option is antique bronze
finish, which is similar to US10b.
Spring bonus weatherstrips are roll-formed 90/10 commercial
bronze strip.
All vinyl weatherstrips are extruded from "cold
weather" vinyl, which remains flexible down to
-30°F and is in compliance with commercial
standard CS230-60, as published by the U.S.
Department of Commerce and ASTM D-2287-81.
Polyurethane is an ether-based elastomeric, thermoplastic
resin, especially developed for low temperature flexibility,
abrasion resistance and durability.
Sound Insulation
Reese Enterprises, Inc.
offers a variety of proven soundproofing door seals.
Used in conjunction with sound rated doors, they
provide the sound reduction required. Our door seals
are given a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating.
The higher the rating, the greater the sound insulation
properties.
