Automatic Aluminum Doors

Trend in house façade: sliding doors, pedestrian doors and aluminum fencing

Evolution in architecture in residential façades: Sliding doors, pedestrian doors and aluminum fencing. After an introduction on the evolution of the façade of homes and the use of aluminium as an integrating material, the three trends mentioned will be discussed. Why of its current use, in what type of housing, and how the offer of portalum can help to integrate.

One of the most elegant options that are setting trends in the façade of houses are the carpentry made of aluminium. Both in access doors and in garages and perimeter fences, the characteristics of aluminium make it an ideal material for the manufacture of this type of element.

Aluminium is a very abundant material in the earth’s crust which, due to its lightness, ductility, high resistance, easy maintenance, great longevity and the fact that it is fully recyclable, make it one of the most widely used metals in construction.

In addition to its intrinsic properties, they make it ideal for the elegance it provides, the security it produces and the fact that it presents a great ease when presenting a personalized design. That is why, when choosing access and protection elements, aluminium in building facades is one of the most demanded materials.

Sliding doors

When choosing an access door to a garage or a building, there are several factors that must be taken into account apart from its security or the integrating design that you want it to have with the façade. The most important is functionality: it must adapt to the space you have and be practical when using it.

Aluminum sliding doors are an excellent option because they have all the necessary characteristics that these elements must have. Its operation is by sliding parallel to the façade, which requires little space for its installation. The possibility of integrating an automation system makes them totally practical and the characteristics provided by aluminium make them safe, elegant and fully customisable.

Aluminium fencing

Aluminium fencing is widely used in agricultural, industrial, commercial installations and lately they are trending in house facades. As they are elements of great length, and they are part of the entrance or façade of an enclosure, they must have an adequate image since they are the first elements that are seen when arriving at a property.

Aluminium is one of the materials that best resists inclement weather, so it hardly oxidises. Their easy maintenance and cleaning and that they can also present an aesthetic appearance to any other material, make aluminum fences ideal to provide the desired image on the perimeter of an enclosure.

Pedestrian doors

The ideal requirements that pedestrian doors should have can be summarised in a mixture of the two previous elements: they must be apparently aesthetic and functional. Aluminium as the choice of material for these elements more than justifies its aesthetic condition.

With regard to their functionality, they should be as practical as possible and take up as little space as possible to fulfil their function. Automatic aluminium pedestrian doors meet all these requirements. For this reason, they have become one of the most used by architects and designers when it comes to providing aesthetic and safe access to a venue.

At Portalum, we are very clear that aluminium is a material that sets trends in house facades, as evidenced by the large number of aluminium blinds for façades installed. That is why we have integrated aluminium as the star material in our access doors and enclosure fencing due to its elegance, security and customisation capacity, as well as complying with all current regulations.
