Use:
The Turn door has the most stable locking and is without risk of incorrect operation. Turn doors can be recommended where access is the primary use. Frame I / Nation I (inward opening) and Frame IC / Nation IC (outward opening) have the same outer sash-frame height and can therefore be placed in the same elevation, without there being much visual difference. Turn doors can also meet all the building regulations' requirements for egress openings.
Function:
Turn doors are inward opening doors with side-hung function. The opening function is controlled by a lever handle operating an espagnolette in the sash jamb. In the closed position, the handle faces vertically downwards and the turn function is triggered by turning the handle 90 °. Turn doors can, as an option, be supplied with a handle operated brake. The brake can, in the side hung function, hold the frame in any position above 18 ° opening. The door can be delivered as a single door or as a double door.
Correct installation and maintenance is important to ensure full warranty coverage.
To ensure that the windows and doors function and operate optimally, it is important that they are installed correctly. Incorrect installation may result in product failure which is not covered by the warranty.
If you have any questions regarding the installation of the elements, please call our Service Department on tel. 01582 860 940. They will be happy to help you.
When unloading and handling the elements, use tools and methods which do not cause damage the elements or the health of those on site.
Upon receipt, the purchaser must check that the consignment complies with the agreement and that the elements are free from apparent defects, faults or transportation damage. If there is any cause for complaint, please notify Idealcombi’s Service Department on tel. 01582 860 940 before installing the elements.
Stickers and cork chips on window glass should be removed 1-2 weeks after receipt. Corner protection, protective films and other packaging must only be removed before installing the elements.
If stored outdoors, the elements must be placed on battens or pallets to keep them clear of the ground. The elements must be covered with a suitable and secure material to protect them from precipitation and dirt. Allow for sufficient ventilation around the elements in order to reduce the risk of condensation forming underneath the covering and excessive heat building up due to direct sunlight. Individual window elements should be stored under a roof structure, in a container or preferably inside.
Our windows and doors are supplied with a small tin of paint in their particular colour. The paint is intended for repairing any minor damage caused during installation, but can also be used subsequently. Idealcombi’s Service
Department is always willing to offer help and advice on surface treatment maintenance and on where to buy additional paint in a particular colour for later use.
Correct installation is important for the function and life of the elements. The installation should therefore be carried out by professional fitters of windows and external doors.
The instructions in this manual cover some of the main issues – but not every detail – which may be relevant during installation.
Back boards on fully insulated spandrel panels are loosely fitted. After installation the cavity is insulated and a damp membrane fitted. Then the back board is sealed and fixed with nails.
The window is usually placed within the outer leaf construction of the wall. It should be fitted centrally giving uniform gaps between the frame and structure – ideally the gaps should be 10 to 15mm. The window should be installed with the frame plumb both
horizontally and vertically and should be adjusted and fixed to ensure the correct closing position between the frame and sash.
Securing, general
Windows and external doors should always be fixed to the building structure using mechanical fixings such as frame bolts / screws.
If any foaming material is used to fill the gap between the outer frame surface and the structure the element must be fixed first using mechanical fixings.
Sealant
The sealant work must be carried out in accordance with sealant manufacturers recommendations and current standards.
When filling gaps with insulation (expanding foam) never put in too much so that it bows the frame. After the expanding foam has cured a waterproof sealant should be applied to the outside (see paragraph on sealant types). To make sure you have enough depth
(in accordance with the sealant manufacturers recommendations) you may have to rake back the expanding foam insulation.
Sealant types
There are a wide range of sealing products to choose from for use between frames and outer walls.
The two most common types are:
– Plastic or elastic mastic
– Asphalt saturated plastic foam (Illmod sealing tapes)
Please refer to sealant manufacturers guide lines to ensure correct product and size before applying.
In order to preserve the wood and reduce heating consumption, it is important that the sealant stays intact. The sealant should therefore be inspected at least once a year, and any flaws should be remedied using the same type of sealant as the original. In case
of any major flaws, all the sealing material must be replaced. In such cases, it must be assessed whether a different type of sealant would be more suitable than the existing one.
Place permanent wedging below jambs and any mullions to ensure that the weight of the window unit is supported by the underlying structure (A)
To make the threshold step firm place wedging with a distance of max. 300 mm (A).
The threshold must be horizontal and straight. It must under no circumstances curve. Locate permanent wedging at the bottom of the jamb on the hinge side of the unit (B). When securing, ensure that the point can absorb compressive forces.
Place permanent wedging above the jamb on the hinge side of the unit (C). When securing, ensure that the point can absorb tensile forces.
Place permanent wedging above the jamb on the closing side of the element (D); when securing, this wedging must ensure that the point can absorb compressive forces.
For an unit height above 1600 mm, wedging on both sides at the top of the frame is required.
For increased security and strength a permanent packer can be placed at ironmongery fix points and locking points.
Jambs should be perfectly plumb and the head must be in the wad on both the wide and narrow side and can under no circumstances bow down.
When installing double doors, it is important that the sashes have full abutment at the middle joint and that the upper edge of the 2 leafs is flush.
The tolerance on the unit’s diagonal dimensions is ± 2 mm. Wedging of the head may only be used to such an extent that load from any of the above window / door units do not apply load to the frame profile besides at the jambs and any millions.
Permanent wedging must be moisture resistant min. 40 mm wide. Depending on the sealant location it is recommended to use anti-slip tape

After installation all drilling dust is removed and locking points are lubricated. This will ensure long lasting trouble free operation.
Weather seals can be rubbed with a silicone stick.
The sash rests on a pin at the bottom of the hinged side, allowing vertical adjustment.
The sash rests on a pin at the bottom of the hinged side, allowing horizontal adjustment of the sash. The sash is guided by levers in the frame head, allowing horizontal adjustment of the sash.
The mushroom bolts can be adjusted at any time to increase or decrease the tightness of the weather seals.
When closed, the sash is held up by a sash support. The sash support can be adjusted vertically to avoid the sash from dropping.
