Frequently Asked Questions
A thermal pivot glazed door is a type of commercial entrance door designed with an insulated aluminium frame and energy-efficient glazing. Unlike standard pivot doors, it incorporates a thermal break within the frame, which reduces heat transfer between inside and outside. This improves energy efficiency, keeps indoor spaces warmer in winter and cooler in summer, and helps lower overall heating and cooling costs. Thermal pivot glazed doors are ideal for buildings that require both a modern, stylish appearance and compliance with energy performance standards.
Yes. Thermal pivot glazed doors are specifically designed for exterior use, making them ideal for main entrances and other outward-facing applications. The insulated aluminium frames and high-performance glazing reduce heat loss and improve comfort inside the building, while their durable construction ensures excellent resistance to weather, wear, and heavy use. This makes them a smart choice for any commercial or public building where both aesthetics and energy efficiency are important.
Yes. Thermal pivot glazed doors can be fitted with a range of automation options, making them suitable for high-traffic entrances and accessibility requirements. Automated systems allow the doors to open smoothly using sensors, push pads, or access control units, providing convenience for users while maintaining energy efficiency. Our team can advise on the best automation solution for your project, ensuring reliable performance and full compliance with safety standards.
Yes. Thermal pivot glazed doors can be specified with anti-finger trap profiles to reduce the risk of injury, particularly in schools, healthcare settings, and other environments where safety is a priority. These features are designed to prevent fingers from being caught in the hinge or pivot area, without affecting the door’s appearance or performance. If safety is a key concern for your project, our team can recommend the most suitable anti-finger trap solutions.
Thermal pivot glazed doors can be tailored with a wide variety of glazing options to suit your project’s needs. Popular choices include clear, tinted, or frosted glass for different levels of light and privacy, as well as laminated or toughened safety glass for added strength and security. For improved performance, you can also select double or triple glazing with low-E coatings, solar-control, or acoustic glazing. This flexibility allows you to balance appearance, efficiency, and functionality in line with your building’s design.
