Aluminum Pivot Doors for Commercial & Residential Projects

U-Factor (0.38)

U-Factor measures heat transfer through the door assembly. A 0.38 rating indicates high thermal resistance. This retains winter heat, blocks summer heat, and lowers overall energy bills.

Wind Pressure Resistance (5 kPa)

This specification details structural strength. A 5 kPa rating ensures the door resists severe wind forces without frame deformation. This protects the building envelope during extreme weather.

SHGC (0.22)

The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient evaluates solar radiation transmission. A 0.22 rating means the glass blocks the majority of solar heat. This prevents interior overheating and reduces cooling system usage.

Water Tightness (700 Pa)

The W-Z3 pivot entry door blocks water infiltration during heavy rain. A 700 Pa rating means the seals withstand high-pressure water exposure. This prevents structural water damage and protects interior floors.

Air Tightness (1.2 m³/(m·h))

This metric quantifies the air leakage rate. The aluminum pivot door achieves a 1.2 m³/(m·h) rating, meaning drafts are nearly eliminated. This maintains consistent indoor temperatures and lowers HVAC energy consumption.

Sound Insulation Performance (35 dB)

This value measures acoustic control. The door provides a 35 dB noise reduction. This blocks exterior traffic sounds and creates a quiet interior environment.

Commercial Applications

Retail stores, hotels, and offices require durable entrances that manage heavy traffic. The W-Z3 aluminum pivot door offers wide openings to move equipment and stock easily. Its offset pivot hardware supports heavy glass panels without straining the frame. This design eliminates traditional floor tracks, preventing trip hazards and meeting accessibility standards. Business owners can order custom pivot doors to create grand entrances that improve building value and security.

Residential Applications

The glass pivot front door serves as a focal point for contemporary homes. It maximizes natural light and creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. The W-Z3 model uses reinforced seals to block air and water leaks effectively. Despite the large dimensions, the balanced hinge allows effortless manual operation. Homeowners gain a secure, wide-clearance entrance that facilitates moving furniture while maintaining high thermal efficiency.
