Ceco Door, an ASSA ABLOY Group brand and an industry leader in the manufacture of commercial hollow metal doors and frames, is excited to announce Trio-E, the most energy efficient steel stiffened door in the industry today.
With energy prices continually increasing and commercial buildings consuming almost 40% of energy usage in North America, Ceco Door remains committed to providing maximum thermal resistant solutions. The new Trio-E door is steel stiffened for strength, but has achieved an operable U factor of 0.34 (ASTM C1363), 30% better than other steel stiffened doors currently available for commercial applications. Many building owners can spend millions of dollars on energy bills annually. The Trio-E represents a chance for them to realize significant savings on new or retrofit projects.
According to data from the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance, doors represent 11% of the overall leakage in a building. When the Trio-E from Ceco is combined with thermally broken frames, Pemko thresholds and the Norton Trinity closer, it becomes a sustainable building solution that can eliminate infiltration and exfiltration in the door opening and guarantee that the building envelope is tightly sealed, even in the harshest environment.
"The Ceco Trio-E is a significant leap forward in the realm of energy efficient doors for commercial buildings," says Dan Glover, Project Manager. "These doors allow building owners to save money on energy use while still providing strength, security and design aesthetics."
