Louver doors combine a standard door leaf with fixed or adjustable louver blades set into the panel, allowing continuous ventilation into plant rooms, storage, and utility spaces while still providing a securable, lockable door.

Glass doors combine a minimal sightline with the durability of aluminium framing — or fully frameless toughened glass — to create bright, contemporary entrances. Hardware, glazing thickness, and framing are specified to match the opening’s traffic level and security requirements, from single residential doors to high-traffic commercial entries.

Hinge machine doors pair a hinged aluminium or steel door leaf with a mechanical closer/hinge mechanism that controls the swing and ensures the door self-closes — used wherever consistent, code-compliant closing is required, such as plant rooms, service corridors, and back-of-house entrances.

Steel-framed glass doors use slim steel sections instead of bulkier aluminium profiles to achieve narrower sightlines and a more industrial architectural look, while retaining the strength needed for larger door leaves. They’re often specified alongside steel-framed partition or curtain wall systems for a consistent aesthetic.

Swing doors hinge open on a single vertical axis and remain the most common entrance door type for commercial and retail frontages. Aluminium or steel framing, glazing type, and hardware are specified to the opening’s traffic level, security, and accessibility requirements.

Pivot doors rotate on a pivot point set into the floor and head rather than side hinges, allowing much larger and heavier door leaves than a hinged door could support. They’re specified as a statement entrance for villas, hotels, and feature commercial entries.

Sheet doors use a flush steel or aluminium panel face over a rigid frame, prioritizing durability and security over glazing — used for plant rooms, utility closets, and back-of-house service openings where a glazed door isn’t needed.

Safety doors are reinforced door assemblies specified where fire rating, forced-entry resistance, or restricted access is a code or security requirement — pump rooms, electrical rooms, and other critical utility spaces. Frame, leaf thickness, and hardware are matched to the required rating.

Sliding door and window systems open large glazed areas without the swing clearance a hinged door requires, making them well suited to balconies, terraces, and space-constrained openings. Multi-track configurations allow wide openings to slide fully clear, and weatherstripping and rollers are specified for smooth, long-term operation.

Bi-fold doors fold multiple glazed panels back in a compact stack, opening an entire wall width between indoor and outdoor space. They’re closely related to Alufab’s flagship folding door systems — see the dedicated Folding Doors page for full technical detail, climate-performance features, and FAQs.
