PVC — IGLO Series
IGLO ENERGY
The PVC entry door with the best Ud in the residential line — 82 mm depth, 7-chamber frame, 5-chamber sash and triple EPDM with a foamed central gasket. The standard premium tier of the IGLO PVC door family.
- 0.8 W/(m²K) Ud
- 7 Frame chambers
- 5 Sash chambers
- 82 mm Frame depth
- 3 EPDM seals
- 3-point Locking
Why spec this one
The IGLO ENERGY entry door is built on the same 82 mm 7-chamber Class A platform as the IGLO ENERGY window line, with a 5-chamber sash that sits between the IGLO 5 and IGLO EDGE doors.
- Best Ud in the PVC door line. 0.8 W/(m²K) — the lowest published Ud across the three IGLO PVC entry doors, even ahead of the flagship IGLO EDGE door (0.81).
- Premium sealing. Three EPDM gaskets including the foamed central gasket — the same sealing philosophy as the IGLO ENERGY window line, with strong air-infiltration ratings under wind pressure.
- Balanced spec. Premium thermal and sealing with standard double-pane glazing — the right tier for most residential entries, without the premium-glazing upcharge of IGLO EDGE.
Standard equipment
- 3-point multi-hook lock (top hook, middle latch, bottom hook)
- 3 two-leaf hinges (heavy-duty for the slab weight)
- Aluminum handle
- Mounting cylinder for the lock hardware
- Double-pane argon-filled glazing at Ug = 1.1 W/(m²K)
- Aluminum threshold with thermal break strip
- 3 EPDM seals (perimeter, glazing, foamed central)

Full technical detail
IGLO ENERGY entry door is a 7-chamber Class A PVC door system at 82 mm frame depth with a 5-chamber sash, built on the same frame platform as the IGLO ENERGY window line plus a structural slab and entry hardware (3-point multi-hook locking, 3 two-leaf hinges).
The seal configuration uses three EPDM gaskets — interior perimeter, exterior perimeter, and a foamed-EPDM central gasket — the strongest sealing in the PVC door range, improving air-infiltration ratings under wind pressure.
Thermal performance of Ud = 0.8 W/(m²K) is the best in the IGLO PVC entry door line — slightly ahead of the IGLO EDGE door (0.81) despite the EDGE shipping with premium triple-pane glazing. Upgrading IGLO ENERGY to triple-pane Ug = 0.5 reduces Ud to about 0.7, into passive-house range.
Threshold detail. The standard aluminium threshold with a thermal-break strip interrupts the cold-conduction path at floor level. In practical Northeast US terms: the interior floor by the door doesn’t condense in winter, the threshold doesn’t sweat during cold snaps, and adjacent hardwood, tile or carpet doesn’t see condensation damage along the door line. This is the main reason European PVC entry doors avoid the bottom-rail moisture issues common on North American entries after 10–15 years.
Glazing ranges from solid panel through top-lite, half-lite, full-lite, sidelite and transom. Colour options are factory-standard white and brown plus the full Renolit foil range (wood-grain finishes and custom RAL); anthracite is available through foil. NFRC-equivalent thermal data, slab-style references and threshold detail drawings are available by request.

Where it fits
Spec it for
- Standard residential primary or secondary entries needing premium thermal
- Premium back and side entries on high-end custom residential
- Multi-family unit entries facing an interior corridor
- Replacement of typical North American fiberglass or steel entries
- Cold-side entries (back, mudroom, basement) where thermal matters
- Projects where IGLO EDGE is over-spec and IGLO 5 is under-spec
Don't spec it for
- Modern front entries calling for an aluminium statement door
- Budget secondary entries (use IGLO 5 door)
- Premium statement entries where the glazing package matters most (use IGLO EDGE door)
