Product Details
DERCHI commercial aluminum glass doors are built around a modular system of 6063-T5 thermal break aluminum profiles, which helps to reduce heat transfer and meet energy code requirements in commercial buildings. The frame incorporates multi-chamber profiles with 14.8 mm or similar polyamide thermal strips, combined with EPDM gaskets and siliconized wool pile seals. Double or triple tempered insulated glass units—available with Low-E, laminated, or tinted options—enhance thermal and acoustic performance. Hardware from GUTMANN, ROTO, and HOPO supports heavy sash weights up to 1000 kg, suitable for large sliding or foldable openings.
Projects ranging from hotel lobbies and office atriums to retail storefronts benefit from the system’s adaptability. A single system family can cover main entrances with pivot or sliding doors, create wide-opening terraces with folding doors, and separate interior spaces with sliding partitions. The structural design addresses wind loads, air infiltration, and condensation management, while project-specific engineering ensures compliance with local building codes. With factory-direct global delivery, phased shipping, and installation training, DERCHI positions these commercial aluminum glass doors as a long-term specification choice for architects and contractors.
