Aluminium doors

To decide on which aluminium door to install in the living space, you need to know several factors:
– Type of opening and its dimensions. Sliding doors are used to fully open the space. They can also be used for the garage entrance.
– Door panel and its functionality. A door installed externally is different from an inner door because the outer door has a closed door panel to ensure privacy and security.

How aluminium doors are installed and our recommendations
Aluminium doors are installed in the closed position and are fixed between the frame and the door from the bottom.
Recommendations:
– Make sure that during installation, the bottom edge of the door is half a centimetre above the floor so that it opens freely.
– During installation, place the tabs between the frame and the door so that when filling the space with a cement-sand mixture, the frame does not play and does not interfere with the door opening after installation.
– Use a plumb line and level at each installation stage to avoid the door swinging open in relation to the wall where it will be installed.
– It is important that the door is flush with the wall plane.
