GEALAN Threshold Solutions: A Smart Investment for Safety, Comfort, and Efficiency
Whether embarking on new construction or upgrading an existing building through renovation, choosing GEALAN threshold solutions represents a forward-thinking investment that enhances both safety and energy efficiency. These thresholds combine durable, high-performance materials—specifically a composite of PVC and aluminum—to provide robust heat insulation while simultaneously addressing practical concerns such as preventing tripping hazards. This design approach guarantees safe, smooth, and effortless movement for all individuals, regardless of age or physical ability, in any setting.
Designed for Everyone: Safety and Accessibility at the Forefront
GEALAN’s thresholds are engineered with the future in mind, prioritizing universal accessibility and everyday comfort. Mobility should never be limited by architectural barriers, such as high or uneven thresholds that pose tripping risks—especially for seniors, people with physical disabilities, or anyone navigating their home. GEALAN thresholds tackle this challenge head-on by delivering smart, accessible solutions that make both new builds and renovations safer and more convenient.
Two Distinct Threshold Styles: Choose Step Up or Glide Through
GEALAN offers two thoughtfully designed threshold options, each tailored to different needs and architectural requirements:
- Standard Threshold: This classic design features a 20 mm height with a reliable inner stop. Engineered to comply with stringent modern thermal insulation standards, it provides a solid, trusted solution suitable for a wide range of door types and installation scenarios.
- GEALAN-COMFORT® Premium Threshold: This innovative floor-level threshold enables a virtually seamless, barrier-free transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Built upon the same 20 mm base as the standard threshold, it offers an easy upgrade path for fabricators. Ideal for both house doors and balcony doors within the S 9000 system, it delivers a premium experience in terms of accessibility and aesthetic continuity.
Key Performance Highlights of GEALAN Thresholds
Flexibility
Compatible with all GEALAN window and door systems featuring installation depths of 74 mm and 82.5 mm, these thresholds adapt effortlessly to patio doors, front doors, and a variety of architectural styles.
Stability
The secure interlocking of the PVC and aluminum components on two levels ensures a highly durable and long-lasting connection, resistant to daily wear and environmental influences.
Transport safety
To safeguard the threshold during handling and installation, a protective film shields its surface from scratches and damage, ensuring it arrives in pristine condition.
Comfortable transition
Both the standard and premium threshold variants offer smooth, easy-to-navigate transitions, eliminating obstacles that could cause tripping. In particular, the French door strike plates are flush-mounted to ensure an even surface, further enhancing safety.
Universally applicable
Designed for both new construction projects and renovations, GEALAN thresholds provide proven quality and adaptability. They effectively remove barriers to movement, improving accessibility without compromising performance.
Thermal insulation
The composite design of aluminum and PVC offers excellent thermal separation, significantly reducing the risk of condensation and thermal bridging—especially critical in areas around striker plates and door edges.
Accessories
These thresholds are compatible with a variety of GEALAN weather strips, corner connectors, and additional profile elements, ensuring optimal sealing performance and a secure, professional installation.
GEALAN Standard Threshold
The GEALAN Standard Threshold has been a trusted choice for many years, consistently delivering reliable performance. Its low-profile height of just 20 mm facilitates a smooth and comfortable transition between indoor and outdoor environments, helping to create barrier-free access. Designed as a versatile companion for all house and beam door elements within the GEALAN product portfolio, it upholds the highest standards for thermal insulation and weather sealing, courtesy of the premium materials and precise engineering.
This threshold seamlessly integrates with all systems having installation depths of 74 mm or 82.5 mm, making it suitable for both renovation projects and new builds. Whether retrofitting an existing doorway or constructing a new home, the standard threshold ensures enhanced comfort and safety without sacrificing thermal efficiency.
