Special-Lite Introduces “All-Fiberglass” Doors
New AF Series products offer corrosion and impact resistance; also support healthcare and food industry sterilization requirements.
DECATUR, MI – Special-Lite, Inc. has announced the addition of two new All-Fiberglass (AF) series of doors and frames to the Special-Lite® line of heavy-duty entrance systems. Included are AF-100 Series doors, the industry’s only unitized, hermetically sealed, fully “pultruded” doors. Also included are AF-200 Series doors, which feature a completely sealed design with a range of finish options – including pebble grain, sandstone-textured and wood grain – shared with the company’s SL-Series doors.
Roger Stempky, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said “These new additions to the Special-Lite line reflect the quality and durability that have long been associated with the Special-Lite brand. The All-Fiberglass or ‘AF’ designation enables architects, specifiers and end-users to identify the products as suitable for applications requiring high corrosion and impact resistance, as well as easy sterilization for healthcare and food industry environments.”
Stempky said “AF-100 Series doors are the former Industrial Series all-fiberglass pultruded products previously offered under the Universal Pultrusions brand and widely recognized as highly durable and corrosion resistant solutions, with a smooth, simple and elegant finish.” He said the renamed products will now be available exclusively through the Special-Lite sales organization as part of the Special-Lite line. The company will continue to produce its pultruded doors in Marshall, Arkansas.
According to Stempky, “The AF-200 Series doors represent a new product innovation, marrying all-fiberglass technology with popular Special-Lite face sheet textures to create a completely sealed door with versatile and attractive finish options compatible with our SL Series products.” The AF-200 Series will also be available exclusively through the SpecialLite sales organization.
