Glazpart is pleased to announce the introduction of new 14mm Run Up Blocks designed for companies aiming to achieve PAS 24 to help increase security of windows and doors.
The new Run-Up Blocks can be used for multiple systems and are fitted all the way around the frame. The new product is designed for resisting forced entry by opportunistic burglars.
In the UK, PAS 24 compliance is a legal requirement for new-build homes and certain property conversions under Approved Document Q (Security – Dwellings) of the Building Regulations in England, Wales, and Scotland.
The new Run Up Blocks are easy to install (simply clip in) and at 14mm they come in an ideal size that allows them to fit smoothly between the frame and profile and as a result providing more clearance and avoiding interference fits.
Glazpart’s 14mm Run Up Blocks come in two types. The first is the Multi-System Run Up Block, designed to fit with 4 different system profiles as listed below:
– Deceuninck 2500 & 2800
– Kommerling C70 & O70
– Rehau Total 70
– Selecta Advance 70
For all 4 profiles, the Run-Up Block can be used all the way around the frame (2 on each side). The product comes in 4 colours including White, Brown, Oak Brown and Grey.
A second type has been developed specifically for the Eurocell Logik system with the same effect and objective to help companies achieve PAS 24. It is also installed in the same way, with 2 on each side near the centre of the frame sides and also comes in the same 4 colour variants as the Multi-System Run Up Block.
Dean Bradley, Glazpart Sales Director Fenestration, commented, “The new 14mm Run Up Blocks are welcome additions to our extensive Glazing Accessories range. Using Run-Up Blocks not only aids compliance with PAS 24, it also demonstrates best practice and gives homeowners greater home security and peace of mind. By installing Run-Up Blocks, window companies are not only doing the job right but they are also helping prevent burglaries.”
