Aluminum clad exterior doors pair a solid wood interior with an exterior layer of 6063-T5 aluminum and a PET film facing. The result is a door that looks and feels like wood inside, yet stands up to sun, rain, and temperature swings outside. Buyers can configure every element—dimensions, glass, hardware, finishes—to suit the project, from French country to modern designs. With optional polyamide thermal break and argon-filled Low-E glass, these doors also support high-performance building envelopes.
- Fully customizable door systems for wholesale and project orders
- Available with polyamide thermal break for enhanced insulation
- French country, contemporary, and transitional styles possible
Product Details
Inside, a solid wood core—selectable from oak, mahogany, or pine—provides structural integrity and a refined interior look. The exterior is clad in 2.0–2.2 mm 6063-T5 aluminum, then covered with a PET film that resists fading, scratching, and corrosion with minimal upkeep. A polyamide thermal break can be added between the wood and metal, cutting heat transfer and helping the assembly meet energy codes without sacrificing the aesthetics of real wood. EPDM swelling seals, an integrated astragal, and a concealed drainage path complete the weather barrier, keeping out water and noise. This configuration offers an alternative to all-wood doors that may warp in humidity, and to all-aluminum doors that conduct heat. For exposed locations—coastal areas, windy sites, city facades—the factory can provide project-specific test data and recommendations.
Product Features
Wood-aluminum composite structure keeps the interior warm and inviting while the aluminum cladding handles the elements—less maintenance than all-wood doors over the building’s life.
Energy performance tailored to climate: argon-filled Low-E glass and the optional polyamide thermal break work together to lower U-factors; performance is configurable per project.
Quieter interiors: lab-tested STC 35 dB helps screen out traffic and neighborhood noise, which is useful for residential and mixed-use buildings facing busy streets.
Security hardware you can trust: the multi-point lock engages along the full height, and German 304 stainless steel hinges (rated 150 kg each, cycle-tested beyond 100,000 times) keep heavy panels operating smoothly.
Smart access control: optional fingerprint, password, and app-based lock for hotels, offices, or high-end residential; holds up to 300 fingerprints and responds in under half a second.
Made to fit your design, not off the shelf: sizes, wood species, glass panels, grille patterns, and finishes are all specified at order—no field modifications needed.
Customizable Styles
Glass: Clear, tinted, or Low-E argon-filled insulating glass; grilles can be placed between panes for a French country look.
Wood core: Oak, mahogany, or pine; FSC-certified material available on request for projects needing chain-of-custody.
Configuration: Single or double leaf, with sidelites and transoms; left- or right-hand swing, inward or outward opening.
Exterior finish: PET film in wood-grain or solid colors, or RAL-painted aluminum to match the facade.
Sill options: Standard waterproof threshold or ADA-compliant flush sill with integrated concealed drainage.
Hardware Accessories
The multi-point lock bolts the sash at several positions with one turn of the handle, combining security with convenience.
Hinges are 304 stainless steel from German suppliers, load-rated 150 kg per hinge and endurance-tested to exceed 100,000 cycles—so large door panels move freely for years.
HOPO handle sets come in multiple finishes and lever styles to integrate with the lock and interior décor.
Option: a smart lock with biometric, code, and app control; capacity up to 300 fingerprints and 150 passwords, unlock response under 0.5 seconds. Confirm the exact model with our team.
Thresholds are extruded aluminum with concealed drainage; the ADA low-profile version preserves the weather seal while allowing wheelchair passage.
