STEEL DOORS

What are the steel doors? A Steel door is a moving mechanism, made of steel used to block off and allow access to, an entrance to or within an enclosed space

Advantage of Steel door over other’s

Steel metal doors may not be the first thing you think of when looking for doors for your commercial establishment, but they are some of the more versatile door options.

Steel doors work best for exterior-facing doors that need to withstand heavy traffic and exterior elements. Believe it or not, metal, steel doors can also be installed in a residence, stores, schools and commercial buildings.

A lot of business owners feel they can save money by purchasing wooden doors, but they are sacrificing durability to save a few dollars. Wood doors offer that exquisite wood grain, but they are expensive — sometimes more expensive than steel.

Since wood absorbs moisture easily, it can peel, bubble, bow, twist and warp; resulting in a costly replacement. Wooden doors are not energy efficient and they require routine maintenance.

Steel metal doors, on the other hand, require little to no maintenance

These highly durable doors are resistant to rust, cracking and bowing, which means they last longer and save you establishment money in the long run. Since steel doors offer insulating properties, they are energy-efficient and can even lower your establishment’s heating and cooling costs.

Obviously, these traits are especially handy in environments with high precipitation and temperatures. For example, steel doors in New York are quite popular.

Steel doors don’t only come in fire-resistant varieties, but you can find additional security properties that include bullet-proof and chemical resistant.

Variations

There are many variations on this basic design, such as the
Ø Single-leaf door
Ø Double-leaf door or double door and
Ø French windows, which have two adjacent independent panels hinged on each side of the doorway.

Types of doors

There are many kinds of doors, with different purposes. The most common type is the single-leaf door, which consists of a single rigid panel that fills the doorway.

• A half door or Dutch door or stable door is divided in half horizontally. Traditionally the top half can be opened to allow a horse or other animal to be fed, while the bottom half remains closed to keep the animal inside. This style of door has been adapted for homes.

• Saloon doors are a pair of lightweight swing doors often found in public bars, and especially associated with the American west. Saloon doors, also known as cafe doors, often use bidirectional hinges that close the door regardless of which direction it is opened by incorporating springs.

• A blind door, Gibb door, or jib door has no visible trim or operable components. It is designed to blend with the adjacent wall in all finishes, and visually to be a part of the wall, a disguised door.

• A French door consists of a frame around one or more transparent or translucent panels (called lights or lights) that may be installed singly, in matching pairs, or even as a series.

• A composite door is a single leaf door that can be solid or with glass, and is usually filled with high density foam.

• A steel security door is one which is made from strong steel, often for use on the vaults and safe rooms to withstand attack. These may also be fitted with wooden outer panels to resemble standard internal and external doors.
