Advantages of Installing a Metal Entrance Door with a Polymer Coating

There is often a need to install a metal entrance door for an apartment, house, or office. This decision is undoubtedly the right one.

For many, a metal door structure primarily provides protection for their home or workspace from unwanted guests, accidental visitors, and, naturally, burglars. However, the benefits of metal doors are not limited to security. These doors also effectively protect premises from drafts, noise, and other inconveniences.

In modern life, many people strive to secure their surroundings. This has led to the widespread replacement of old doors with new metal door structures. When choosing an entrance door, it is important to consider several parameters that will ensure a higher level of security not only for the residents of the premises but also for the property inside.

However, installing a metal door is not always done solely for protection. Often, it also serves as an additional indicator of the owner’s taste and style for any apartment, house, or office.

Recently, metal entrance doors with powder coating (polymer coating) of Italian production have become available, which the manufacturer "Aplot" now uses in all its door constructions. The design and quality of this coating quickly gained popularity among many customers. An important aspect is not only their quality and reliability at an affordable price but also their excellent appearance. Purchasing an entrance door with a double-sided polymer coating ensures its owner virtually everlasting protection.

Metal entrance doors with powder coating meet all existing standards and requirements. Modern high-tech equipment is used in their production.
Doors with powder coating are resistant to a wide range of negative effects and have a long service life. The polymer coating of the door is difficult to damage. In case of any scratches on the metal door leaf, a transparent enamel layer melts over the damaged area, protecting the door.

Advantages of Powder-Coated Door Structures

The advantages of doors with polymer coating include the following:

• Wide range of colors – graphite, white, or brown;
• Long service life;
• High adhesion level;
• Ability to withstand a wide temperature range;
• Increased resistance to mechanical damage and organic solvents;
• Resistance to UV rays and various environmental effects;
• Suitable for installation both outside and inside buildings.

Criteria for Choosing a Door

It is better if the selected door has two locks, which increases its reliability. It is recommended to choose locks with completely different mechanisms. If the door has locks of the same type, ensure they are produced differently. Never install a latch-type lock on a metal door, as it may cause problems at the wrong time.

To increase security, additional components such as a peephole, high-quality locks, and hinges should be installed. When choosing a peephole, decide whether a wide viewing angle is important to you or if a smaller angle is sufficient.

For greater comfort, the inner part of the door can be equipped with thermal and sound insulation. This ensures not only quiet and peace but also helps retain heat. Mineral wool is often used as a filler, as it is heat-resistant, fire-resistant, and environmentally friendly.

Hinges for a metal door should have a hardened bearing ball or roller bearing. This prevents hinge wear, door sagging, eliminates squeaks, reduces the need for lubrication, and extends the door's service life. The number of hinges depends on the door's overall weight. For example, a door weighing 70–90 kg requires two hinges.

Installation

A metal door with polymer coating is installed, like any other door, in a single day.
