Modern double front doors with glass from DERCHI are custom aluminum pivot entry systems for upscale commercial and residential projects. The W-Z3 pairs thermally broken profiles with argon-filled insulating glass and a concealed rotation mechanism, achieving a U-Factor of 0.38 while keeping sightlines clean. Projects demand specific sizing, glazing upgrades, and finish coordination—DERCHI builds each order to spec with performance documentation available.
- 0.38 U-Factor with 8 mm+21A+8 mm argon-filled tempered glass
- Hidden pivot hardware supports large glass panels and an elegant opening movement
- Full customization: dimensions, Low-E, tinted or laminated glass, PVDF colors, rotation axis position
- Factory-backed B2B support with compliance certificates, dealer tools, and technical data
Product Details
DERCHI's modern double front doors with glass start with a thermally broken aluminum frame (3.0 mm leaf profile, 2.5 mm frame, 129 mm frame depth). The standard insulated unit sandwiches two 8 mm tempered lites around a 21 mm argon-filled cavity with a black PVDF spacer, cutting thermal transmittance. An integrated pivot bearing carries the door's weight invisibly, distributing loads without exposed hinges or tracks.
Compared with side-hung doors, the pivot setup permits wider, taller leaves and can be centered or offset to suit lobby layouts or residential entries. 45-degree injected corner joints and EPDM multi-layer seals keep air leakage to 1.2 m³/(m·h) and resist water penetration up to 700 Pa. Since every door is fabricated to project measurements, structural feasibility—especially maximum leaf size and wind-load documentation—should be verified with the factory.
Product Features
Thermal-break profiles: 3.0 mm leaf and 2.5 mm frame with insulating polyamide strips minimize heat transfer, helping meet energy codes without adding structural bulk.
Argon-filled double glazing: 8 mm+21A+8 mm tempered unit with argon fill achieves U-Factor 0.38 and SHGC 0.22, balancing daylight and solar control for entryways.
Hidden rotation hardware: The pivot assembly supports heavy glass leaves smoothly, letting architects design flush facades with no visible hinges or floor springs.
Multi-layer EPDM sealing: Three compressible gaskets plus injection-molded corner seals deliver air tightness 1.2 m³/(m·h) and water tightness 700 Pa at exposed entrances.
45-degree corner injection: Mechanically reinforced corners lock frame geometry and maintain gasket alignment under years of operation.
Project-driven sizing: Custom widths, heights, and double-door pairings are reviewed for structural capacity; buyers can confirm pivot ratings and maximum panel weights with DERCHI.
Customizable Styles
Glazing options: Beyond clear double glazing, choose Low-E coatings, tinted, laminated safety, or bullet-resistant glass to meet security, privacy, and solar goals.
Frame finish: PVDF custom colors—anodized looks, metallic or solid—match the building facade precisely.
Dimensions and configuration: Leaf width, height, and double-door pairings are built to your opening; DERCHI confirms feasibility before production, especially for oversized panels.
Rotation axis and swing: Center or eccentric placement; inward or outward operation adapts to traffic flow and architectural constraints.
Hardware integration: Handle styles, locks, and access control interfaces are discussed with DERCHI; the pivot system can coordinate with electric strikes or maglocks after technical review.
Hardware Accessories
Custom pivot system: The W-Z3's hidden rotation unit distributes door weight across floor and top bearing points, enabling movement of heavy glass leaves without floor springs or side hinges.
Guangqi integrated armrest handle: A continuous vertical pull mounted along the stile provides an ergonomic grip and a sleek, modern profile.
45° corner injection: Joints are mechanically fastened and sealed, creating rigid, weather-tight connections that resist racking.
EPDM gaskets: Inner, middle, and outer seals handle thermal movement while maintaining compression for air, water, and sound barriers.
Optional locking and access control: Multi-point locks, panic bars, or electric releases can be integrated; compatibility must be confirmed per project.
Basic Parameters
Performance Item | Available Information | Buyer Notes |
|---|---|---|
Thermal Insulation | U-Factor 0.38 (standard glass) | Request performance verification for the exact glazing; critical for energy code documentation. |
Wind Pressure Resistance | 5 kPa | Verify against project wind load; high-rise or extreme wind zones may require additional engineering review. |
Water Tightness | 700 Pa | Check local storm-water requirements and ensure proper sill detailing for exposed entries. |
Air Tightness | 1.2 m³/(m·h) | Verify test standard (EN or ASTM) and request certified documentation for the selected configuration. |
Sound Insulation | 35 dB | Confirm lab test details and applicability to the double-door pair for street-facing locations. |
