TASKMASTER S Series are the first steel doorsets to be awarded a British Fenestration Rating Council “U value” rating.

The BFRC certificate, which can only be issued to ISO 9000 registered manufacturers, enables the “U value” rating of TASKMASTER steel doorsets to be used by designers when calculating the energy performance of buildings under the latest edition of Approved Document L2 of the Building Regulations.

The BFRC certificate certifies that standard Taskmaster doorsets fitted with sills and thermal seals have a total U value rating of 3.1 W/m1/K.. This is equivalent to a typical timber doorset and should enable an averaged window and door U value of 2.2 W/M2 K to be achieved under 'trading off' calculations in a typical building (this example is detailed in Taskmaster Technical Data Sheet TD 305).

When 'trading off' is not possible, an alternative U2 core is available which when incorporated into Taskmaster S Series doorsets gives a BFRC certified U value rating of 1 .8 W/m2/K.. Doorsets with the U2 core are however more costly than standard doorsets.

TASKMASTER S Series doorsets also satisfy the Air Leakage requirements of Part L2, with an air leakage of 1.2 M3 /hour/M2 at 50 Pa pressure (well within the maximum of 10 m3/hour/M2).
