Elton Ellenmatic

What it is and does:
A drop seal is a self-closing mechanism and replaces a floor sill mounted on the floor. The EllenMatic drop seal ensures that the gap between the door and the floor is closed, resulting in an improvement of the sound insulation of your door. A drop seal also reduces drafts on the floor.

Applications
This type of drop seal can be used on or in a door with a width of a minimum of 878 to a maximum of 1028 mm. The drop seal can be shortened by a maximum of 150 mm. Where a floor sill is missing, sound can enter a space through the gap between the floor and the door. Applications include bedrooms, sound studios, consultation rooms or facility rooms with equipment that produce a lot of noise.

Drop seals also facilitate easy movement of wheelchairs, prams and internal transport equipment such as trolleys.

Assembly Tips

The Elton EllenMatic is both a surface-mounted and recessed drop threshold. Make sure that you do not use the Elegance Cassette (art.no.  K1250) when you want to mount the seal on the door! You will find the installation instructions under the documentation tab and in the product packaging. The different mounting options explained:

• Installation method
  If you want to install the seal, cut a groove 30 mm deep and 15 mm wide at the bottom of the door. The length of the slot will depend on the width of the door after it has been cut to size.

• Construction method
  Fitting the drop seal is a lot easier with the self-adhesive mounting. First you cut the Elegance Cassette to size. The correct size of both is the distance between the two frames. Then slide the drop seal into the Elegance and mark the drop seal at the correct length. The drop seal must fit into the cassette with the plastic end pieces on it. Then degrease the door thoroughly for the self-adhesive strips. The Elegance has a lip that goes under the door. This way it is bonded perfectly straight to the door.
• Point of attention
  When cutting the drop seal (K1150) to size, pay attention to which side you should do this on, a sticker with an arrow indicates the correct side. This sticker may not be cut through!
