The aluminum wooden door is optimized and upgraded on its basis, aluminum profile frame + aluminum honeycomb filling, Increase the strength of the door frame, make it wear-resistant and durable, greatly reduce deformation and cracking, and extend the service life.

③Environmental protection

Doors made of solid wood + aluminum profiles are also sealed with aluminum alloy edges. They cannot be said to be 100% pollution-free, but they are definitely better than filling them with glue-bonded boards (solid wood doors also show signs of glue) The door ring is of high quality.

④ Sound insulation and comfort

Aluminum The profile has good fireproof and waterproof properties, and is low in density and light in texture. The door leaf is not very heavy, easy to open and close, and the comfort level is no less than that of solid wood doors.

⑤ Affordable price

Solid wood doors are made of pure natural wood. The better the quality of the wood, the higher the price. The production process of aluminum doors is slightly more complicated, and the price is not as high as that of solid wood doors.

1. Door core

There are three common types: aluminum honeycomb, wooden keels and bridge mechanical panels. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so you can choose according to your actual needs.

②Wood keel: subdivided into ordinary keel and LVL transverse keel, both are made of log slices, but the LVL transverse keel process is more solid and stable It is strong and has good sound insulation, but the top door is easily deformed and not as stable as aluminum honeycomb.

③ Bridge hole mechanical board: light in sound insulation, Stable performance, the choice for most doors on the market.

For general household use, aluminum honeycomb filling can be used , for those with high sound insulation requirements, LVL transverse keel filling can be selected.

2. Decoration Noodles

PET facing + carbon crystal plate base material + aluminum alloy door seal (titanium magnesium aluminum alloy) can

3. Hardware

No Choose the heaven and earth axis hinges. The heaven and earth axis hinges cannot bear the weight and are prone to axis breakage and detachment in the future. Choose three-dimensional hinges, which are strong and firm and less likely to cause accidents.

Try to choose one-piece forged and oxidized sandblasted door locks, which have good texture and are ultra-quiet. Just choose the one with 45° magnetic suction + sealing strip
