Performance and Weather Resistance
Draft and Thermal Control
The brush seal compresses against the floor when the door closes, reducing air infiltration and limiting heat transfer. This contributes to more stable interior temperatures and lower HVAC energy demand in commercial buildings.
Noise Reduction and Acoustic Benefits
By filling the gap at the door threshold, the Kilargo is8100si system lowers corridor and street noise transmission. This is valuable in offices, healthcare facilities, and educational environments where acoustic comfort is critical.
Design and Aesthetics
Clear Anodised Finish and Minimal Visibility
Clear anodised aluminium keeps the profile visually subtle while providing long term resistance to corrosion and wear. The design preserves sightlines, making entrances appear cleaner and more spacious.
Compatibility with Glazed and Metal Doors
Designed to integrate seamlessly with framed glass panels and metal door leaves, the low profile mount works with both modern curtain wall systems and traditional entrance hardware.
Installation and Maintenance Considerations
On Site Setup and Adjustability
Pre cut lengths and slotted mounting flanges simplify alignment during installation. Adjustable compression allows precise brush contact without excessive door drag, supporting smooth operation over time.
Cleaning and Long Term Durability
The anodised surface resists staining from weather residues and cleaning agents. Routine inspection and occasional brush replacement help sustain performance without major disruption.

FAQ
Reader questions
Is the Kilargo is8100si suitable for high traffic commercial doors?
Yes, the system is built for commercial environments and handles frequent use when installed according to manufacturer guidance. The brush strip design balances sealing effectiveness with low friction for smooth opening and closing.
What maximum floor gap can the Kilargo is8100si accommodate?
It is effective for gaps up to 25 mm between the door leaf and the floor surface. Larger thresholds may require supplementary threshold or adjustment to maintain consistent seal contact.
Does the clear anodised aluminium show scratches over time?
Anodised finishes are harder than standard painted aluminium and resist light abrasion. While very hard impacts can leave marks, regular handling and cleaning typically preserve the appearance for many years.
Can this system be retrofitted to existing doors without replacing the frame?
In most cases, yes, provided the door has enough mounting surface and the floor gap falls within the specified range. Installation often involves screwing the profile to the frame and adjusting the brush height for optimal compression.
