Selecting a Commercial Door
Many commercial doors are on the market, each specific to its purposes.
Hollow metal doors are incredibly durable and strong, outperforming test criteria for physical endurance. They also keep the harsh weather outside and your interior comfortable.
These doors are used in corporate and commercial enterprises, including entrance, office, and conference room doors. They’re also used in healthcare and as critical infrastructure.
Acoustical doors offer superior sound control based on your specific needs and privacy concerns. You commonly find these doors in healthcare, education, and government institutions, as well as businesses, data centers, and the hospitality and entertainment sectors. These doors are known for their ability to eliminate ambient noise.
Factory-prefinished commercial-grade doors offer standard and custom designs, blending in with your company’s aesthetics. These durable doors come in numerous colors and may be fire-rated for up to three hours.
Constructed to ensure strength and durability, manufacturers design steel-stiffened doors for areas with significant traffic. These are used as entrance, elevator lobby, cross-corridor, and stairwell doors, as well as for other applications.
Commercial security doors are designed to secure an area, whether from vandalism or intrusion. These thick steel, hollow metal doors contain steel channels and heavy-gauge core stiffeners. Today, they are used in manufacturing, schools, offices, and hazardous environments.
Blast and hurricane-resistant doors are, as the name implies, designed to protect against hurricane-force winds and explosions. These doors fend against extreme wind events and are commonly used as entrance doors in the commercial, government, utilities, transportation, and manufacturing industries.
Bullet-resistant and force-entry-resistant doors provide extra protection in environments where security is the utmost concern. These doors use advanced materials and, in some cases, can withstand repeated mob attacks for up to an hour. They are used to safeguard executive offices, control rooms, and mission-critical buildings.
And we’ve only scratched the surface.
