Hinged & French Door Configurations.

Standard

Our standard hinged aluminium doors feature a single panel that swings open. Our standard French doors consist of two panels, hinged on opposite sides of the frame, that swing open from the centre, creating an aluminium double door.

Open In & Open Out

Open in and open out frames are available for both hinged and French doors.

Opening Window

Hinged doors can incorporate an integrated opening window within the aluminium door frame, allowing for ventilation while the door remains closed, eliminating the need for additional space for sidelights or overlights.

Sidelights & Overlights

Additional window glazing can be installed above or beside hinged or French doors, with options for both fixed and operable windows to create aluminium doors with windows. This feature is recommended for areas that require increased natural light or enhanced ventilation.

Are Hinged & French Doors the Right Choice?

Hinged and French doors are traditional door options that have maintained their popularity in residential and commercial applications due to their numerous benefits and versatile functionality. Our expert team is equipped to leverage their specialised knowledge to help you select the ideal aluminium door solution for your project, whether that involves a hinged or French door or an alternative that better suits your requirements.

Easy Access: Single panel hinged doors serve as utility access points, offering convenient entry to outdoor spaces. They are ideal for applications requiring quick access, such as pool areas, secondary outdoor locations, or internal spaces like laundries.

Indoor Outdoor Flow: Aluminium French doors provide wide openings that facilitate seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.


Complete Your Energy Efficient Window System.

Considering the recent H1 updates to the New Zealand Building Code, which require high-performance insulated glass units with Low-E coatings in thermally enhanced frames, each of our aluminium door suites offer energy-efficient solutions.

Each suite features ThermalHEART® thermal break technology, incorporating a polyamide strip at the core of the window system to minimize heat transfer. For enhanced thermal efficiency, ThermalHEART® aluminium door frames are combined with The AGP System® Low-E, argon-filled double glazing, nearly doubling the thermal performance compared to standard aluminium door frames.

The Centrafix™ Installation System is compatible with Metro Series windows and doors, boosting thermal performance by as much as 20%. By recessing aluminium door frames within the building wall, it aligns all insulation layers, effectively preventing cold air circulating around the frame, reducing the heat loss seen in typical installations.
