Triotherm, a patented solution developed by Meesenburg GmbH & Co. KG, located in Flensburg, Germany, was initially engineered to enhance the installation of windows and doors within the insulation layer. Although this innovative method has demonstrated its efficacy across continental Europe, its application in Ireland and the United Kingdom predominantly focuses on serving as an insulated threshold beneath doors and floor-to-ceiling windows.
What is Triotherm? Triotherm is crafted from high-quality expanded polystyrene (EPS) with a density of 150 kilograms per cubic meter. This advanced material facilitates optimal load distribution while ensuring the thermally efficient performance of the door upstand.
Advantages of Triotherm as a Door Upstand:
We’re excited to share more details about the installation process of a Triotherm insulated door upstand for a sliding door, recently used in our own retrofit project. Since most sliding doors come with a frame depth exceeding 125mm, you may need to extend the standard Triotherm+ profile by incorporating a structural insulation board upright or even by using two rows of Triotherm+ for optimal results.
Proper positioning of Triotherm Door Upstands is crucial to ensure optimal thermal performance while minimizing disruptions to subsequent trades. Ideally, the upstand should align closely with the top of the door or window frame. The exact placement within the door or window opening will depend on the specific wall construction. In general, the door upstand should align seamlessly with the building's thermal envelope for optimal performance. Below, you'll find guidance tailored to the most common wall systems.
In response to frequent inquiries about the available dimensions of Triotherm Door Upstands, we want to provide a clear guidance on dimensions. Our goal is to help you better understand the requirements with ease and clarity.
We frequently receive questions about the proper waterproofing setup for Triotherm. To clarify, we’ve outlined the correct approach below.
Always available in 1,175mm length per profile but extendable to any required length through dove tail interlockings.
Triotherm offers a versatile range of insulated door upstands designed to meet the specific requirements of various building projects. These upstands are essential for providing thermal insulation and structural support.
A door upstand is a vertical section which is is placed at the bottom of a door opening. Its primary function is to provide a structural support for the door without creating heat loss.
