NEW GE Hygrothermal Doorsets. Engineered for education. Built for Performance.

The Department for Education (DfE) requires selected school doorsets to meet hygrothermal performance standards. Without compliance, doors risk bowing, warping, or failing when exposed to temperature and humidity differences.

The GE Hygrothermal Doorset is the only UK manufactured doorset that has been independently tested and certified to EN 12219:2000, achieving a Class 2 rating for Hygrothermal Bow. This ensures the suitability of the GE Hygrothermal Doorset for DfE requirements; giving architects, contractors, and facilities managers confidence in safety, durability, and long-term performance.
