Pivot doors – what are they?
Pivot doors are an innovative type of door that is distinguished by a unique opening system, which makes them a unique accent of the building, adding character to it.
What are pivot doors?
Pivot doors are revolving doors that move around an axis shifted from the edge of the door leaf. Instead of standard hinges mounted on the side edge, special hinges placed at the bottom and top of the door leaf are used here. This solution allows smooth and easy opening of even large, heavy doors.
The axis of rotation is usually located a few or a dozen centimeters from the edge of the door, which means that when opening, one part of the door enters the interior and the other goes outside.
How do they differ from traditional doors?
Pivot doors differ from traditional doors primarily in the opening mechanism and construction possibilities. In traditional doors, the hinges are mounted on the side edge of the door leaf, which imposes restrictions on the width and weight of the door. In pivot doors, the hinges are placed at the top and bottom of the door leaf, which allows for the construction of larger and heavier structures.
What sizes can pivot doors have?
One of the most important advantages of pivot doors is their format. The height of the leaves can be up to 4 meters, and the width – 2.5 meters. The weight of the door leaf is not a problem, because pivot systems easily support even heavy structures weighing up to 500 kg!
Large, monumental entrances create a sense of prestige, which makes pivot doors a popular solution in modern residences, villas and commercial buildings such as office buildings or hotels.
Why is aluminum the ideal material for pivot doors?
Aluminum is one of the most commonly used materials for the production of pivot doors, and for good reason – aluminum doors are resistant to weather conditions and do not require maintenance.
Personalization possibilities for pivot doors made of aluminum
Aluminum pivot doors offer wide personalization possibilities – choice of color from the RAL palette, as well as covering the door with, for example, sintered quartz. This allows the product to be perfectly matched to the architect’s vision.
Why choose pivot doors made of aluminum?
Thanks to their unique design and minimalist form, pivot doors fit perfectly into the architecture of modern homes, residences and commercial buildings.
