Specifications

Operations constraints may limit the use of this door. Please consult the manufacturer prior to specifying large openings.

Cladding (Steel):

Doors can be clad with various sheeting materials. If you want to go with a standard Colorbond profile, it’ll be mainly made out of steel, however specialised profiles can be used.

Cladding (Glass):

Doors can be partially or fully glazed for viewing or showroom display and are glazed in accordance with AS1288. Standard glazing uses 6.38mm laminated safety glass. The use of other glass or glazing material should be referred to the manufacturer due to additional weight, deflection, door design & construction. Glazed doors will generally incorporate a kickplate in the base of the bottom leaf. Door size & weight will determine kick plate height.

Finishes:

Standard finish on frames & channels is epoxy primed & polyurethane. On glazed doors beading can be anodised or powder coat finish.
