What are the most common doors in residential buildings?
This article discusses a new type of doors used in residential buildings, known as Australian doors, particularly famous for roller doors. They are manufactured from galvanized and painted iron sheets using powder coating, with a thickness ranging from 0.4 to 0.5 mm. Commercial variants with a thickness of 0.32 mm are not recommended. The quality of the metal used plays a crucial role, with some being pure and galvanized iron resistant to rust, while others are recycled metal mixtures filled with impurities.
Over time, low-quality doors may reveal defects due to rust, leading to gradual deterioration, issues with movement, and potential malfunction. It is emphasized to choose doors from reputable and well-known companies. Regarding colors, various options are available, with beige being the most common. Other colors include black, white, burgundy, and blue.
Control options range from manual operation to doors equipped with a side motor for remote control. High-quality drum units, either made of polycarbonate or galvanized iron, contribute to smooth door movement. Caution is advised against inferior drum units made from PVC, which can lead to door malfunction. Attention to these features during installation is crucial.
The lightweight nature of the door allows manual operation during power outages. Additionally, it can be equipped with a center lock for added security.
