Aluminium Door - Başaran

Aluminium Door

A manually opened door with an aluminium frame and leaf, for homes, offices and shop entrances.

How it works

The leaf is hung on hinges and opened by hand with a handle or pull bar, then locked. It can be glazed or fitted with a solid panel. Exterior entrances call for thermally broken profiles and double glazing; interiors can use slimmer profiles. No power or drive unit is needed.

Profile, infill and hardware are chosen according to where the door is used. These are typical set-ups; exact hardware is decided at the site survey.

Home and villa entrance

An exterior door faces rain, sun and cold. A thermally broken profile reduces condensation on the inside; a multipoint lock secures the leaf to the frame at several points.

Shop door

A door opened all day long, with large glass that continues the shop window. Heavy-duty hinges and a door closer keep the leaf aligned under constant use.

Office and interior door

Indoors, with no wind or rain, a slim non-insulated profile is enough. A glazed leaf lets light pass between rooms.

Insulation starts inside the profile

Aluminium conducts heat well. In exterior doors an insulating strip separates the inner and outer profile; the door's insulation depends on this strip and the seals as much as on the glass.

    Outer profileFaces rain and sun; its colour matches the façade.
  2. 2
    Thermal breakInsulating strip between inner and outer profile; cuts heat flow.
  3. 3
    Inner profileKept apart from the outside cold, so less condensation forms indoors in winter.
  4. 4
    SealsKeep air, water and dust out between frame and leaf.

    Double glazing or insulated panelThe cavity between panes, or the panel's insulating core, insulates the middle of the leaf.

Interior doors do not need this strip; a non-insulated profile is enough.

System options

The options below are assessed per project; which ones apply is decided at the site survey.

Thermally broken or standard profile

On exterior entrances a thermally broken profile reduces heat loss and condensation on the inside. Indoors and in unheated areas, a non-insulated series is enough.

Glass or solid panel

Choose a fully glazed leaf for daylight, or a solid panel for privacy and insulation; leaves combining both with a transom bar are also possible.

Lock

Exterior doors use a multipoint lock that secures the leaf to the frame at several points; for interior doors a single-point lock is enough.

Door closer and panic bar

Busy entrances get a hydraulic closer that shuts the door by itself; escape doors get a panic bar or emergency exit handle.

Colour and finish

Profile colour, finish and infill options are set per project in the quote.

Threshold

For step-free access, a low threshold or an automatic drop seal that lowers when the door closes can be fitted.

Frequently asked questions about aluminium doors

On large dark doors in full sun, the outer profile heats up and expands much more than the inner one; the leaf can bow slightly and become hard to lock. These doors use a thermal break that lets the two shells expand independently and a durable coating; a lighter colour is also an option on very sunny façades.

No. A glass balcony system is designed to enclose a balcony or terrace; even in its double-glazed versions it does not do the job of an entrance door's frame, lock and hardware. Use an aluminium door for an entrance into the home and a glass balcony to enclose the balcony.

It depends on the profile. For exterior entrances, thermally broken systems, where an insulating strip separates the inner and outer profile, are used with double glazing; this reduces heat loss and condensation on the inside. Non-insulated profiles suit interiors and unheated spaces. A door's insulation depends on its frame and seals, not only on the glass.

Look at how many people use the entrance each day. In a busy shop, clinic or hotel, an automatic door makes passage easier and limits heating and cooling losses. For a home, an office or a quieter shop, a manually opened aluminium door is usually enough and needs no power.

The opening size, number of leaves, glass or panel type, frame colour and level of insulation set the price. For an automatic door the drive, sensors, battery and lock are added; for an aluminium door, hardware such as the lock and door closer. The final price is based on measurements taken on site.
