Feature of aluminum doors

The construction sphere needs more than 50 percent of aluminum products. This kind of metal goes to the production of windows, facades, tambours, kitchen ware and so on. But aluminum doors have gained special popularity among consumers. They have increased resistance to external destructive factors, are aesthetic and have such an important property as fire safety. But this is not all their advantages.

Interior doors made of aluminum can also boast excellent sound insulation. This is especially important when family members need peace and quiet.

Types of aluminum doors

Aluminum profile for doors has two types: warm and cold. Thus, the doors from the warm profile have an increased level of noise insulation and thermal insulation, and the cold profile is used for glazing of loggias, balconies, tambour and others. In addition, aluminum doors differ in the specifics of the opening: swinging, sliding, pendulum. Let's consider each category separately:

1. Swing doors open in the opposite direction or "on themselves".They are recommended to install in the office and business centers.
2. Sliding aluminum doors are made of several or one cloth and a guide. The last detail is necessary for the doors to move with rollers, along the wall. The principle of opening - in opposite directions or in the middle of the doorway. Among the sliding doors distinguish between manual and automatic. The last type of these products is ideal for installation in those places where a large number of people accumulate.
3. The pendulum doors are of two types: bicuspid and single-leaf. These doors can be opened in one and the other direction. In particular, this category of aluminum structures is mainly installed in those places where the direction of people is constantly changing. Due to their specificity of opening, they can be found at railway stations, in large shopping centers, at a metro station and so on.

On the inside of aluminum products is a double-glazed window of different thicknesses. A seal, which is located around the perimeter of the door, prevents cold air and humidity from entering the room.

Advantages of aluminum doors

Today aluminum doors are installed in many buildings, regardless of their purpose - in apartments, offices, houses, retail outlets, industrial and industrial organizations. These structures are considered leaders not only in Russia, but in foreign countries. And all this is due to their significant advantages:

2. Long service life that exceeds eight years.
3. Excellent resistance to external conditions. The doors are not deformed even in cold winter or hot summer. They are not afraid of corrosion, which can not be said about the iron doors.
4. Beautiful design. Doors made of aluminum can easily be painted in any color or they can be covered with another type of metal. By the way, painting is made only at will, since they have an aesthetic appearance without it.

Therefore, it should not be surprising that in recent years they have become more often bought by consumers. Many know that the use of an aluminum profile allows the construction to provide aesthetics and ease. But such an advantage, as a long service life, depends more on the hardware. It is these details that guarantee a long or short duration of opening and closing, which are carried out repeatedly.

In order to paint aluminum doors, photos of which can be seen on our website, it is enough to choose any color on the RAL scale - it can be matte, metallic, glossy. The aluminum profile system is organized so that you can select several colors for the exterior and interior sides of the structure. Due to this, the color of the door can be combined with the exterior decoration of the room and with its interior. To achieve a common style, it is recommended to choose the accessories of the same color scheme.
