Warm aluminum entrance doors can be really warm if you make the right installation. In this article we will describe how to install warm aluminum entrance doors.

Just before installation, you should be aware of all the advantages and disadvantages of this design and only after that make a final decision.

Why choose aluminum doors

Entrance doors of a warm aluminum profile in our time put quite often and for good reason. This design has several advantages over others.

So:

• First of all, it is probably a long service life, and they are not susceptible to corrosion;
• They are absolutely not affected by temperature changes and high humidity. Installation can be done in any room;
• You can install warm aluminum sliding doors even in utility rooms. They will not spoil the look, but even decorate. And you should not even fear the ingress of acid, oil, they just do not damage the surface;
• This design does not require even a lot of care. You just need to install it right away;
• You can even choose the desired shape, it is for the design of the room.

Choosing the right

Aluminum sliding doors are warm or single-leaf, first of all, you must choose the right one.

There are two options for this design:

• Cold serieswhich is installed in heated rooms. In such a design with the onset of cold weather condensate may appear, because one chamber is made here and the profile itself has a structure that is not at all discontinuous .. Also here thermal bridges are not provided;
• Warm seriesIn this embodiment, a thermal bridge, which is made of polyimide, connects the two parts of the profile. Thus there is a separation of the cold space from the warmer. It also makes a quality seal around the contour of the door leaf. An alkaline seal is also placed in the lower part of the door, which, in turn, does not allow cold and humid air to pass through the lower part of the structure.

Installation and insulation of aluminum doors

Aluminum warm sliding doors it is possible to put their own hands, and no one needs to ask. At this you will save considerably and the price of the whole structure will be much lower.

So:

• First of all, prepare a high-quality doorway. Clean anything that will interfere;
• Now the plane should be treated with antiseptic, which is commercially available. This will not be superfluous. But it will prevent the development of the fungus;
• Now we need to put the frame out the door. To do this, it should be adjusted with wedges;

Attention: When performing work, use a measurer. Apply plumb and construction level. If not installed correctly, your door may not close. Or it may just form a gap, from where cold air will flow. Proper and high-quality installation is the key to success.

After preparation, you can proceed to install. Fastening is done with dowels or anchors.

Here it should be noted that the dowels from the kits should not be used on the stands, they simply will not provide the rigidity of the structure. Purchase separately plastic and self-tapping screws, which should be a couple of mm more from the hole section.

So:

• For fixing, you will need to make a hole using a perforator and then make a connection. Only pre-installed corner of the metal, which will keep the box. This work is done only after a high-quality adjustment of the box along the axes. It is necessary to withstand the perpendicular quality;
• Connection length should be done in three places. This will ensure reliability and stability;
• After fixing it is necessary to warm the box. For this, some use foam. But it is not effective. In the process of time, it just goes silent. For this it is best to use synthetic insulation. They do not subside and do not spoil. Only before installation is the surface of the walls to anoint with glue. Then the material will simply stick and will not crawl;

• After the glue dries, plastering is carried out.

After that you just need to hang the door leaf and make adjustments (see Adjusting metal doors - to avoid repair). As you can see, this is not such a difficult question, it just needs to be done right away right away.

The instruction is not so complicated. Everything is quite simple. Before installing it is worth seeing photos and videos on this topic and then everything will go exactly the way it should be.
