For architect and specifiers, the choice of door and frames materials often come down to this: steel or something else ? Steel is famously strong , but there are additional advantages to bear in mind when you ask yourself, why steel?
Steel provides the best long term value in the door and frames industry. It lasts longer, requires the fewest repairs and sturdier than other products. Steel natural strength also outperforms other material in security, fire rating, sound reduction, vandal resistance, sanitation and more. Hollow metal will outperform wood aluminum and fiber glass in demanding environment. Even when those other materials use special cores or other techniques. They are still unable to match the performance and longevity to hollow metal. Are you seduced by the so called warmth of wood? Consider this: today's steel doors offer endless options for attractive appearance a vibrant colored finish, or even faux finish steel's versatility allows it to satisfy the aesthetic requirement of most projects. And don't forget all those advantages of performance and longevity.
