Product Details
Our entry doors are built on 6063-T5 aluminum profiles with a polyamide thermal break to cut heat transfer. Standard glazing is 8mm+21A+8mm double tempered with argon fill and PVDF spacer; optional low-E, laminated, tinted, or bulletproof glass adapts to job specs. The W-Z3 pivot door features a 129mm-wide frame and a 3.0mm-thick leaf. Hinge door models carry hinges tested to 150 kg with a 100,000-cycle endurance rating. Hidden hinge designs use 5.0mm profiles and multi-layer air-tight joints for slim sightlines.
We provide engineering-level customization—frame dimensions, opening direction, glass package, hardware, and finish—all frozen at drawing approval. Unlike catalog products, doors are configured per project to minimize on-site modifications. Multi-chamber seals, integrated drainage, and corrosion-resistant coatings are built in, not added as extras.
Product Features
U-Factor as low as 0.38 (W-Z3 model) helps meet energy codes; polyamide thermal breaks in 6063-T5 frames reduce thermal bridging.
3.0mm door leaf and 2.5mm frame wall thicknesses resist warping on oversized pivot doors; hidden hinge models use 5.0mm profiles for rigidity.
Multi-layer EPDM gaskets paired with bottom drainage tracks deliver a tested water tightness of 700 Pa; air tightness of 1.2 m³/(m·h) reduces drafts.
Hardware can be specified independently: multi-point locks, super C-level cylinders, or smart locks with fingerprint, facial recognition, and video intercom.
Glass options range from standard tempered to low‑E, laminated, tinted, or bulletproof, enabling custom thermal, acoustic, or security performance.
Powder coating, woodgrain transfer, and Galaxy Coating resist fading and corrosion—suitable for coastal or high‑UV sites when selected appropriately.
Customizable Styles
Glass: 8mm+21A+8mm double tempered as base; upgrade to low‑E, reflective, laminated, tinted, or bulletproof to meet thermal, acoustic, or security specs.
Dimensions & opening: Custom width, height, and threshold details. Inward/outward, left/right swing confirmed on shop drawings.
Finishes: Standard color powder coating, woodgrain patterns, or Galaxy Coating. Swatch matching available for architectural palettes.
Panels & infills: Choose from aviation aluminum panels, aluminum honeycomb, or oriented strand board backs—affecting weight, insulation, and look.
OEM branding: Logo embossing, custom labeling, and export packaging. MOQ and lead time variations apply; confirm during specification.
Hardware Accessories
Handles: Guangqi integrated armrest, stainless steel, or zinc alloy models. Finish coordination with door surface.
Hinges: Semi‑concealed, hidden, and 3D heavy‑duty pivot axis systems. Hinge‑door units rated 150 kg, 100,000 cycles.
Locks: Multi‑point, electric bolts, K7E01 super C‑level cylinders. Smart modules: fingerprint, card, facial, video (models S8, S9, S01, T358, M8).
Floor springs & closers: Pivot doors use floor‑spring control; closers available for hinge doors where self‑closing is required.
Seals & drainage: EPDM strips, multi‑layer air‑tight joints, bottom tracks. These maintain air/water performance, though field installation affects results.
Basic Parameters
Performance Item | Available Information | Buyer Notes |
|---|---|---|
Thermal Insulation | U-Factor 0.38 (W-Z3 model) | Value from NFRC-rated test; confirm for other glass and frame configurations. Actual performance depends on climate zone and installation. |
Wind Pressure Resistance | 5 kPa (W-Z3 model) | Tested to relevant standard; request report for the specific door size and reinforcement used. Higher ratings may be available with additional engineering. |
Water Tightness | 700 Pa (W-Z3 model) | Lab test result; site exposure and sill detailing will affect in-service water penetration. Confirm rating needed for your project location. |
Air Tightness | 1.2 m³/(m·h) (W-Z3 model) | Measured under specific pressure difference; check if this meets your energy code. Multi-layer sealing contributes, but threshold area is critical. |
Sound Insulation | 35 dB (W-Z3 model) | Likely Rw or STC value; ask for test report and glass contribution. Laminated glass can improve acoustic performance further. |
