Developed by the engineering team at Foshan Aludex Doors & Windows Co., Ltd., this glossary establishes precise technical definitions across our core manufacturing capabilities — from 6063-T5 aluminum extrusions and polyamide thermal breaks to EN 1627 security ratings and motorized gate hardware.
The primary architectural aluminum alloy utilized across Foshan Aludex Doors & Windows Co., Ltd. door profiles. Formulated with magnesium and silicon, it offers exceptional tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and smooth surface extrusion quality ideally suited for powder coating and anodizing.
A structural-grade aluminum alloy providing higher yield strength than 6063. Specified for heavy-duty reinforcement channels, extra-large pivot door sub-frames, and wide-span commercial entrance structures.
A continuous polyamide 6.6 structural insulating bar inserted between interior and exterior aluminum profile chambers. It breaks thermal conduction, significantly reducing building HVAC energy transfer and preventing interior surface condensation.
Profile design incorporating multiple internal air cavities. Multi-chamber engineering boosts structural moment of inertia against wind pressure while enhancing thermal insulation and sound damping.
A surface finishing process where thermosetting powder is electrostatically applied and cured at 200°C. Delivers a tough, weather-resistant finish available in standard RAL colors with high UV resistance.
A vacuum sublimation process that embeds realistic timber patterns directly into base-coated aluminum profiles, offering wood aesthetics without warping, rotting, or re-staining maintenance.
An electrochemical passivation technique that converts the aluminum surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant anodic oxide layer, ideal for harsh marine or high-humidity coastal deployments.
The physical gauge of extruded aluminum profile walls. Foshan Aludex Doors & Windows Co., Ltd. enforces structural wall thicknesses of 1.8mm to 3.0mm on major load-bearing door sash and frame profiles to ensure long-term structural integrity.
An oversized single-leaf entrance door rotating on heavy-duty floor and head pivot bearings rather than traditional side butt hinges. Allows wide openings, heavy panel weights, and clean minimalist architectural facades.
A two-leaf entrance assembly comprising a wide primary active leaf for daily pedestrian traffic and a narrower secondary semi-active leaf that unlocks for wider furniture access.
A dual- or triple-pane glazed assembly sealed around an aluminum or warm-edge spacer, filled with inert Argon gas to minimize thermal conductance and acoustic transmission in glazed doors.
Glass coated with a microscopic metallic oxide layer that reflects long-wave infrared thermal energy while permitting visible light, maximizing thermal efficiency across exterior glazed entrances.
The rate of heat transfer through a door system per degree of temperature difference (W/m²K). Lower U-values signify superior thermal insulation performance.
An integer rating evaluating an entrance door's capability to attenuate airborne sound. Aludex core-insulated armored doors achieve high STC ratings of 38+ dB.
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer synthetic rubber sealing profiles engineered for outdoor elasticity, UV stability, and continuous weather sealing against wind-driven rain and air infiltration.
Architectural glass assemblies positioned vertically beside (sidelight) or horizontally above (transom) an entry door frame to expand daylight entry into foyer spaces.
A high-security entrance system incorporating internal reinforced galvanized steel or heavy-gauge aluminum ribbing, surrounded by precision CNC-engraved aluminum exterior fascia panels.
A central locking mechanism driving multiple heavy-duty steel locking bolts into top, bottom, and side frame strike plates simultaneously via a single key or smart access turn.
European standardized resistance classes (RC1 to RC6) classifying forced entry protection. Aludex armored doors are engineered to meet RC2 through RC4 security benchmarks.
Reinforced high-security lock cylinders incorporating hardened steel pins, sacrificial snap lines, and drill-resistant plates to thwart lock-picking and destructive break-in attempts.
A heavy steel pre-installation frame anchored directly into structural masonry during wall construction, providing an unyielding foundation for mounting the final armored door frame.
International fire resistance rating classifying door system structural integrity (E) and thermal insulation (I) under standardized furnace fire testing conditions over specified time durations (EI30, EI60).
A trackless automated sliding gate suspended over the driveway entrance via heavy roller carriage assemblies mounted on an offset concrete foundation, eliminating ground track blockages.
An automated electromechanical drive motor with a jointed arm assembly designed to smoothly open and close heavy aluminum swing gate leaves mounted on wide masonry pillars.
Factory-assembled high-strength aluminum gate panels engineered with internal concealed fasteners to resist sagging while providing structural perimeter protection for residential villas.
A single-leaf side gate integrated adjacent to primary vehicle gates, fitted with electric strike locks or smart access keypads for controlled foot-traffic entrance.
A frameless glass railing design where heavy toughened laminated glass panels are clamped near the base with heavy-duty stainless steel or aluminum spigots bolted to the floor slab.
The primary vertical structural support post (newel) combined with closely spaced infill vertical aluminum pickets (balusters) designed to satisfy building safety code spacing limits.
An outdoor extruded aluminum shelter featuring motorized roof louvers that rotate 0–120 degrees to regulate sunlight, ventilation, and provide total rain protection when fully closed.
Structural pergola perimeter beams engineered with internal gutters and concealed downspout channels within posts to route rainwater away from outdoor living spaces.
An advanced biometric access lock seamlessly concealed inside a long architectural pull handle. Features 3D biometric fingerprint recognition, encrypted RFID cards, mobile app control, and mechanical key override.
A hydraulic door closing mechanism housed completely within the top door frame transom profile, controlling door sweep and latching speeds while remaining invisible when the door is closed.
A spring-loaded bottom weather strip recessed into the bottom door leaf edge. It automatically drops to seal against the floor threshold when the door closes and retracts when opened.
Precision-machined door hinges allowing structural adjustment along height, lateral alignment, and compression depth after installation, ensuring perfect sash-to-frame alignment for heavy doors.
