The advantage of sliding doors is that the weight does not lie on one side, but is distributed on the top and the bottom. There-
fore sliding doors are especially suitable for large patios. They do not require space in the passage direction.
Depending on what you require, you can choose between lift-and-slide, tilt-and-slide or fold-and-slide doors you will always
find the right solution for your room.

SECURITY

The BBA (British Board of Agrment) is the UKs major body for new construction products and installers. The BBA Agrment
Certificates are recognised by specifiers and other industry decisionmakers as proof that the products covered by them have
been rigorously and impartially assessed. The certificate shows that compliance with Building Regulations has been achieved
and will last for a defined period.The BBA has evaluated more than 60 different window and door systems. All the BBA tests
are carried out in accordance with EN45001 and several are accredited under the UKAS scheme. Tests include the follow-
ing procedures: durability, air permeability, water tightness, wind resistance, endurance on door & window hardware, thermal
insulation and enhanced resistance to intrusion. Many companies advertise their windows and doors as BBA accredited, but it
is only the profile that has the accreditation not their manufacturing process. Here at Internorm we are striving to have both our
window profile and our manufacturing process accredited by the BBA.

BBA certification on its own does not guarantee security or consistency of standards. The tests are onerous but to certain of a
high quality, durable window you should also look for an ISO registered company (this proves their ability to provide windows to
a consistent standard, and that they continuously strive to improve their processes). The endurance testing ensures the whole
