A New Trend In Door Fitter Bow
Door Fitter Bows - How to Choose the Right Door Fitter Bow for Your Home

Bow windows are very popular in modern homes. They have a more gradual curve than traditional windows and can make rooms look bigger. However, there are some problems with these windows that must be considered before purchasing these windows.

Bow doors are usually of the visor-type or side-opening type and are anchored to the door's main structure by hinge arms, linking arm or pivot attachments. Scantlings and arrangement of the inner doors are considered.

Bowings in the thermal Bowing

In the summer, when temperatures are hot doors made of steel exposed to direct sunlight can start to bow slightly due to the difference in temperature on either side of the opening. Thermal bow can be corrected by painting the exposed surface of the door with a light color. Installing an awning above the doorway will help keep out the sun rays, and lower temperatures around the entrance. It's important to remember that this slight bow is only temporary and will be restored when the temperatures are cooler.

The type of core used in a door's inner panel is also a factor in the degree to which it will bow. For instance, the more dense cores tend to be less affected by thermal bowing than hollow cores. Furthermore the color of the door can have a significant impact on the severity of this issue. Darker colors tend to absorb more heat which can increase the thermal difference between the two sides of the door.

When the exposed side of a door is hotter than the other, the material on that side will expand. This is the reason why the door expands and swells, and forms a bow. Once the temperature change has subsided, the doors will return to their normal form.

A recent study revealed that current design practices for CSPs do not accurately predict the amount of bowing that will occur when they are subjected to the effects of a temperature gradient. This is due to the fact that concrete stresses and connecter forces in shear aren't linear when compared to geometric properties or thermal force.

It is possible to guarantee the design of a system that considers thermal bowing by discussing with an IMP representative of the project's location as well as the performance requirements, aesthetic requirements, the building structure and the final use. This will ensure that the panel spans allowed and the structural support framing needed for the panels will be able to withstand the required load without causing excessive thermal bow. This will also lower the risk of thermal bow causing issues during the installation and operation of the system. A panel that is bowed for instance, could make it hard to latch and unlatch the hardware and could cause clearance issues for the frame or the lock of the opening.

Heavy Duty Velcro

Industrial Strong VELCRO® Brand hook and woven loop tapes, strips and coins are designed for a variety of applications and environments that require an extra level of security. The molded hook-and-loop closure system is coupled with a high-performance PS52 rubber adhesive that offers superior adhesion on many surfaces.


Use Velcro strips to fix items around the home. It can be used to attach cushions or curtains to the back of chairs or to keep chilly picnic tablecloths in place. It can also be used to stop children from opening drawers and cupboards they shouldn't have access to.

To attach, clean and dry both surfaces, then peel back the backing paper, then press the surface with a firm pressure. Allow 15 minutes for the adhesive to dry, and up to 24 hours for maximum strength.

No hooks or sticky attachments

Bows are an excellent way to greet your guests for an event. You can use them for birthdays, weddings or christenings. Perhaps even to spread some festive cheer. It is important to ensure that your bows remain intact and secure, regardless of the occasion. We do not recommend hooks or sticky adhesives to do this. Choose one of our door fitting bows with an easy-to-use door hanger to keep your bows in place without any mess.

Our door fitter bows, unlike suction cups, don't leave marks on your doors. They also have a better hold than other models. Our bows are secured at the back with strong Velcro. This means they remain in place when you shut or open your door. We also have the option of colour-matched extension straps so you can find the perfect fitting for any door size.

Our large door bows can be used both indoors and outdoors and will never damage the surface of your doors. The door hanger made of metal slides over your door and is simple to set up. The bow can be easily attached to the door hanger using the included ribbon. If you need extra ribbon, simply order more from our store.

8.5.2 The means are to be provided to enable bow doors to be fixed mechanically in the closed position, considering the self-weight and a wind pressure of 1.5 kN/m2 (0,153 tonnes-ft/m2) acting on the maximum projected area of the door. Strengthening against horizontal impact loads should be considered on ships with curving bows or stem angles greater than 60o.

The bow doors on RoRo vessels are among the most vulnerable parts of the ship. They are vital to the safety and security of the vessel, but they can also be put under a lot of stress. This study aimed at checking the structural quality of bow doors of the hinged opening type. The design rules in IACS UR S8 were studied and compared to damage data. It was found that assuming the bow door to be a rigid structure and distributing the support force equally, as suggested by the rules, isn't enough. The results demonstrate that bow door deformation causes forces to be substantially different. In door fitters bow are subjected to much higher loads than the higher ones.
