Building a house, we can choose between wooden, steel or aluminium doors. The latter ones have many advantages that we may not know about when making a purchase.
RESISTANCE TO ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS
Wooden doors, despite their elegance, are characterized by high susceptibility to adverse weather conditions. At least twice a year, in autumn and winter, their condition should be inspected, and they must be periodically repainted, which should take place every 4 to 8 years, depending on whether the door is covered with a transparent or opaque varnish. On the other hand, steel doors may lose their colour under the influence of strong sunlight. Aluminium doors do not require frequent maintenance or painting, retain colour for many years and are not susceptible to humidity.
Distributors of wooden and steel doors very often recommend the construction of a roofing to protect their product against humidity and sun. Wood dries and deforms at high temperature, while steel expands and warps. Humidity has a similar impact on these materials, changing the shape of the leaf/sash. In addition, humidity can lead to rotting of wooden doors. Aluminium doors "save" our money, as we do not have to build any additional roofing, which also gives us the freedom to arrange space.
NO SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
It is often that the warranty terms and conditions for wooden doors include a provision that the warranty does not apply if the door leaf is located at a distance of less than 100 cm from the source of heating of the room, thus underfloor heating cannot be installed. The most efficient operation of the door is ensured by the construction of an unheated vestibule. This is due to the fact that large temperature differences affecting the inside and outside of the door can cause their deformation, affecting their operation and causing lack of tightness or difficulty in closing. It is the same for steel doors, with the latter ones returning to their original condition after the harmful heating and cooling effect ceases. By installing the Prestige aluminium panel door, we no longer need to worry about the impact of heat and cold, and we may freely choose the preferred method of heating system in the room. This is thanks to the specialized construction of the door and the use of innovative thermal separators that have eliminated the effect of door warping.
Aluminium doors can be installed at every stage of constructing our house, while wooden doors can only be installed after plastering, flooring and drying the interior, otherwise excessive humidity will cause their deformation.
FULL AUTOMATION
Intelligent system solutions that can be installed in aluminium doors, allowing for remote control or access without the need to use a key, are becoming more and more popular.
There are many possible solutions to choose from, such as: transmitters that provide the household members with the possibility to open the front door with a remote control, video modules with a control panel responsible for monitoring the situation outside the house or motion sensors placed in the exit area. Biometric access system with a fingerprint reader is a technical novelty, thanks to which we can open the door with just one touch of a finger.
SAFETY
Thanks to their structure, aluminium doors provide a much better level of security than wooden doors. However, it is possible to increase the level of security by adding multi-point bolts or anti-theft bolts mounted on the hinge side. If the door design assumes the installation of glazed elements, they are made of tempered glass.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Prestige aluminium doors provide the household members with warmth, security and comfort. A very high level of thermal insulation (Uf from 1.1 W/m2K, Uw from 0.7 W/m2K) and acoustic insulation (Rw = 33 dB) as well as watertightness (class 7A) are achieved thanks to the three-chamber structure of the profiles, the use of the state-of-the-art thermal separators and a set of internal and external gaskets. Prestige doors, thanks to the environmentally friendly, complex structure, retain heat inside during winter, while providing pleasant coolness in summer, which translates into lower heating and air-conditioning costs.
