Aluminium Entrance Doors for Commercial Buildings

Aluminium entrance doors have become an increasingly popular choice for commercial buildings due to their durability, security, energy efficiency, and sleek modern aesthetics. As the front door sets the tone for the rest of the facility, it is important to select the right type of aluminium door system that aligns with your building's functionality and design vision.

Overview of Aluminium Doors for Commercial Use

Aluminium is a lightweight yet robust material that offers significant advantages over other door materials like wood, steel or fiberglass. Aluminium doors feature strong and dent-resistant door frames combined with slimline door stiles and rails that provide unobstructed glass visibility. The slim sightlines allow the maximum amount of natural daylight to enter the building.

The key benefits of using aluminium doors for commercial buildings include:

• Durability: Aluminium has high tensile strength and will not rot, warp or rust like other materials. Aluminium entrance doors can withstand decades of high traffic use.

• Security: Aluminium doors provide enhanced security with integrated multipoint locking mechanisms and high-quality commercial grade hardware.

• Energy Efficiency: Thermally broken aluminium frames prevent heat or cold transfer for improved insulation. High-performance glazing further enhances efficiency. This results in lower HVAC costs for the facility.

• Low Maintenance: Aluminium only requires occasional cleaning to maintain its appearance and does not need periodic refinishing or painting like steel or wood doors.

• Customization: Aluminium doors can be customized with a range of finishes, hardware, thresholds and access control systems to meet project requirements.

• Modern Aesthetics: Aluminium doors feature clean lines and large glass expanses for a contemporary look suitable for modern commercial buildings.

Types of Aluminium Commercial Entrance Doors

There are several types of aluminium doors suitable for different commercial applications:

1. Aluminium Hinged Doors

These single or double aluminium doors feature hinges on one side and are the most common type used at building entrances (Chimgreen). Their classic styling fits well with various architectural designs.

2. Aluminium French Doors

French doors comprise of two aluminium door leaves in a double door configuration that come with a mullion in between. They effectively open up spaces and let in ample natural light.

3. Aluminium Sliding Doors

Sliding aluminium doors save space with their minimal footprint. They slide horizontally on overhead tracks and are suitable for large commercial openings.

4. Aluminium Lift & Slide Doors

These doors lift upwards and slide open in the same direction providing complete opening flexibility. They allow seamless indoor-outdoor access.

5. Aluminium Bifold Doors

Bifold doors are designed using multiple aluminium door panels that fold and stack to one or both sides of the doorway. They offer panoramic views and create wide-open spaces when fully retracted.

Design Considerations for Aluminium Commercial Doors

Proper design is vital for aluminium doors to function optimally while meeting aesthetic goals. Key factors to consider include:

Door Frames

Commercial aluminium doors typically feature wider and thicker extruded door frames compared to residential doors. Thermally broken frames enhance thermal efficiency.

Door Panels

The aluminium panels should be robust and dent-resistant to withstand heavy usage. Panels can be solid or have slim sightlines with large glass vision panels.

Door Stiles

For extra durability, opt for wider stiles (vertical members) and rails (horizontal members) in high traffic areas.

Glazing

Select double or triple pane insulated glass units with low-emissivity coatings for improved thermal and acoustic insulation. Laminated glass provides enhanced security.

Finishes

Powder coating and anodizing are suitable finishes for aluminium. Consider the door color and texture requirements early on.

Hardware

Heavy-duty multipoint locks, closures, handles and hinges certified for commercial use provide superior security and longevity.

Thresholds

Pick thresholds with thermal breaks that prevent heat transfer and have a low profile design compliant with accessibility standards.

Weatherstripping

High-quality weatherstripping prevents air infiltration and keeps out dust and moisture. This contributes to energy savings and operational efficiency.
