aluminium doors and windows are regarded as fashionable since they are strong, have fine finish and more importantly, are energy friendly. Aluminium products manufactured meet a higher quality to make them fit into the standard range market. Aluminium doors and windows mean elaborate fabrication which needs direction, skill and insight into material, tools and processes to be employed.
- Dimensions of the door or the aperture through which one will be accessing the work site.
- Whether the structure is sliding, hinged or bi-fold in nature
- Kind of glass – double-glazed, laminated, tinted, etc.
- The laminated frame and the colour of the exterior of the frame
Hardware and locking mechanisms
In the design of glazing structures at Doorwin Glazing, we employ an approach that is more focused on the customer to come up with necessary designs that will suit residents and commercial building alternatives. In CAD our design we use the computer to design the final product to know measurements to take for installation.
Selecting the Right Aluminium Profiles
After coming up with the design, then the subsequent step is to select the right aluminium profile. In Doorwin Glazing we implement thermally broken aluminium profiles for our frames, providing a high level of thermal performance and low energy consumption. These profiles are extruded to further certain cross-sectional dimensions and these act as the frames of doors and windows.
Aluminium doors & windows profile are selected based on:
- Execution of the window or door system; whether it is a casement, sliding, fixed, etc.
- Resistant and supportive load bearing for structuring purposes
- It is characterized by thermal efficiency and insulation properties.
- The equipments are powder powder-coated to provide durable and corrosion-resistant finishes.
For our choice of quality materials, we use mainly those that are recyclable, light, and non-corrosive; thus, consumer durable steady equipment, equipped to work in extreme climates.
Machining the Profiles for Hardware Installation
Next, the aluminum profiles must be machined and the parts to contain clips for locks and hinges, rollers and handles must be created. This process also involves drilling the cutting to be made at places where the hardware is to be fitted. This includes the act of boring holes and making cuts for screws and other related hardware to be fixed on.
At Doorwin Glazing, we use precision tools to ensure:
- Most important of position of the hardware so that it functions properly without causing hindrance.
- Longevity and stability of a finished product
- Uniqueness features in the diverse hardware brands and designs
Special attention is paid to the fact that owing to the machining, the necessary cross-sectional dimensions of the profiles are not significantly diminished. With the aid of precise tools, we provide the necessity of stabilizing the physical properties of aluminium during the preparation of the material for mounting hardware.
Installing Glass Panels
The next process is the placement of glasses on the frame after assembling the frame of the building. Here, glass has its importance in terms of design as well as functionality of the aluminium doors and windows. Regarding our design, we may incorporate the use of double-glazed, laminated or toughened glass to provide insulation as well as safety.
Key steps in glass installation include:
- Tempering the glass so that it should fit tightly into the aluminium frame
- By the use of rubber gaskets or sealant techniques, the glass is held firmly in position.
- Making sure that each row is aligned correctly for the seal to be as tight as possible
Installing Hardware and Accessories
For instance, once the glass is installed the final thing that one does is to fit the hardware. These are handles, locks, hinges and rollers according to the specific door or window being referred to as a pair. Hardware installation is a crucial task because at the exit the product is safeguarded plus essential operations.
The final thing is checked to ensure that all the responsive hardware works and moves as expected to arrive at the required safety standards.
Finishing Touches and Quality Control
The last process entails trims including washing the frames, putting the last finish and an overall check of the products. Thus, quality assurance is paramount for our Doorwin Glazing because we manufacture all our doors and windows on-site.
Our quality control process includes:
- Make sure that all gaps may cause leaks or drafts are well-sealed
- Scheduling for doors and windows FINANCE to ensure efficiency
- Looking for flaws in the paint or any other finish applied on the consolidations
When the product has been through our rigorous quality control it is ready for delivery or to be used.
Conclusion
Another aspect of Doorwin Glazing’s aluminium doors and windows production process is a series of stages that work together to offer the best possible result. From the very moment of the idea creation up to the last stage, which is the implementation/ installation stage, it is well done. Whether you have a classy and elegant appearance or a magnificently constructed power-conscious appearance or buildings, you will be amazed as our aluminium doors and windows from Doorwin Glazing are excellent for homes and commercial applications and others such as endurance, and security among others.
