Interior Steel Doors And Partitions

Interior Steel Doors And Partitions Why More People Are Choosing Them?

With all of the work that goes into ensuring you get the perfect windows and doors to suit your home’s exterior, it can be easy to overlook your home’s interior. Although ultra-slim profile windows and doors will help bring light into your home, without the right interior doors, that light won’t be distributed evenly throughout your home. This is where interior steel doors and partitions come in. Not only will they brighten it up even further, interior doors and partitions offer additional privacy as well as a greater sense of space within your home.

Whether it’s to add a modern element to a more traditional home, or to add an industrial finish to a more modern style of home, interior steel doors and partitions can be a great way to transform the feel of your home’s interior. This article will give you some helpful tips on what to look out for when it comes to considering interior doors and partitions for your home.

The Beauty of Interior Steel Doors and Partitions

Aesthetically, slimline interior steel doors and partitions, which feature large glass panels and minimal sight lines, offer unrivaled potential for your home’s interior.

As a result of this, they have seen a massive increase in popularity in recent years and it’s not difficult to see why. Steel-framed interior doors and partitions are an exceptionally versatile way of doing more with less in your home.

Steel’s strength means that slimmer and sleeker frames and sight lines can be achieved easier than with wood for example. Smaller frames mean more glass on display. More glass means more light, which means a brighter home that looks and feels more spacious.

This not only suits modern homes, but also homes with industrial or even mid-century looks.

Hinged, Sliding, Bi-Fold, or Partition?

Interior Steel Doors

An ideal way to maximize space and light within your home, our sleek interior Steel Door will open any space up. Interior steel doors look at home in every environment. Whether it’s to separate the living room from the kitchen; to seal off and display your walk-in wardrobe; or even just to bring some much-needed light into a room.

These doors are available as hinged, sliding, or as bi-fold (sliding-folding), or pivot. Each has their own unique benefits and appeal based on your tastes and the amount of space available in your home. 

Sliding doors are an excellent choice where space makes a hinged door difficult to open.

Assembly brackets can be built into the wall, ensuring that the door can be seamlessly incorporated into any living space. Perfect for both classic and contemporary homes, our slimline, powder-coated steel-framed interior doors create privacy without sacrificing any natural light.

Our doors are custom-designed to suit your home’s aesthetic or specific needs and and can be finished in any standard RAL colour.

Interior Doors and Partitions Finishes

Powder Coating

For many years now, powder coating has been the preferred method for finishing aluminum entry doors.One of the most popular and effective methods of finishing entry doors, powder coating is a polyester-based coating method that uses consistently sized, dry polyester microbeads, which have an electrostatic charge, that enables them to adhere to base materials. 

Powder coating creates a stronger, more durable and more resilient finish than paint and is useful on products that will need to stand up to harsh weather conditions. It is an excellent way to protect and ensure the longevity of your door.

VEROmetal

An increasingly popular finish for all types of doors is VEROmetal.

Vero metal is available in up to 20 metal variations—each of which can easily be sprayed, rolled, poured, or applied by hand to windows and doors.  The metal of your choice is bonded with a resin to form a liquid metal that, once applied, can provide additional protection against corrosion to the unit, extending its life even further. Its lightweight nature, as well as its physical and metallurgical properties, means that it is a uniquely simple way to improve the quality of windows and increase the fire resistance, and UV protection of your windows and doors.

Notably, the metal can be applied to any material, including aluminum, steel, vinyl, and more. Vero metal can elevate vinyl or aluminum windows with the addition of steel; or elevate steel windows or doors with a layer of bronze or copper.

Interior Steel Doors and Partitions Handles

Additional Concerns

There are certain styles, and colors that will be more suitable for certain rooms and home. For example, rooms in which children play, or the risk of falling is greater (bathrooms and showers), it is important to choose doors or partitions with child-friendly (safety) glass. Similarly, with regards to wine cellars or cabinets, where room temperature is a concern. We can help you find the right door or partition for your home.

Upstate New York

Although ultra-modern, groundbreaking design isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you mention Upstate New York, we were very pleased to work on this unique project. Designed by HGX Architect, the project was a striking combination of glass, wood, and steel. We designed a unique curtain wall system for the front elevation featuring a series of floor-to-ceiling 4×13 ft units. To complement the wooden siding, we also designed a custom wood-clad door.

East 62nd Street

This Manhattan townhouse entry door was one of our favorite projects to work on. As traditional, solid wood doors become less common, we wanted to create a door which looked both as elegant and as sturdy as the classic entry doors seen around parts of New York City. Wooden entry doors are timeless and there’s a good reason why they’ve been popular for centuries. Now, however, advances in technology mean they can be as efficient as other metals and composite materials. The owner opted for wood type. To finish, we helped the owner settle on some ornate, decorative accents as well as understated but distinguished brass features.

Situated in Midtown Manhattan, this was the first car dealership for which we created a custom steel and glass curtain wall system. We designed 15,000 sq ft of oversized units to complement the building’s sleek, minimalist aesthetic. Open AWD also designed custom paneling as well as a custom awning to sit atop the revolving entry door.

Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn

This home on Vanderbilt Avenue in Brooklyn is a landmark Queen Anne-style carriage house that, in the 19th century, housed horses and coachmen for a large estate. The unconventional shape of the home, which features a distinct Flemish Gable, is a nod to the rich history of the neighborhood. The unique home allowed us to design unique circular windows, arched windows, and large arching steel doorways. The factory finished steel windows and doors bring modernity to the landmark house, all while preserving its magnificent history and charm.

Worcester Art Museum

Worcester Art Museum, designed by WHY Architects, includes an elegant new staircase with granite steps and a steel frame. The main concept of our project was to use modern aluminum windows to replicate the geometry of the existing windows, including thermally efficient exterior and interior custom made extrusions. For installation of oversized IGUs we used a combination of lifting equipment such as cranes, glass manipulators etc.
