Since 1952, when its first plant was opened in Emeryville, California, Pemko has supplied world markets with door and threshold sealing products. Today, a worldwide distribution network is serviced by 300 employees operating from five plants in the United States and Canada.

PEMKO IN THE UK
Literature has been produced for the UK as a series of individual colour brochures, each concentrating on the specific performance requirements of acoustics, energy conservation and weatherability, access and security.

UK Building Regulations, through their Approved Documents, demand performance requirements similar to the USA from doorsets, ironmongery and seals. Consequently, Pemko products, with their innovative and attractive design features, provide a range of door and threshold seals that meet or surpass the requirements and objectives of specifiers and end user customers.

WHY CHOOSE PEMKO PRODUCTS?
Subtle differences in the design of apparently similar and competitive products can make a considerable difference to performance, maintenance and durability. Take for example, the range of Pemko automatic door bottom seals; a patented design feature ensures that through the closing action of the door, the seal drops at the hinge side first, thus reducing drag along the threshold.

Additionally, our automatic door bottom seals incorporate our own uniquely designed low closing force springs; an essential plus factor when considering the issue of access, especially for the young or people with a mobility problem.

A third example of our innovative approach to product development can be seen in the range of Pemko continuous geared aluminium hinges. Unique and maintenance free gearing means minimum effort to open or close doors of up to 345 kg. These hinges are now independently tested and approved for fire resistance, in addition to security and standard doorsets. This dedication to product innovation extends over the whole range of Pemko door and threshold seals; even perimeter door edge seals can now be fitted with adjustable seal elements.

In meeting our customers’ requirements, design and development policy is influenced by the products’ ease of fitting, competitive edge and longevity. They remain eminently suitable for meeting objectives of performance from specifiers and end users in the United Kingdom, whether the application is related to industrial, residential or commercial markets.

As part of our commitment to excellence, Pemko operates under the quality procedures of ISO 9000, meeting or exceeding independent standards of conformity, with test evidence covering issues of air infiltration, sound, access, skid resistance, fire, smoke and general weatherability.
