Nowadays, the aluminum art door market is relatively chaotic. This chaos is caused by price, quality, craftsmanship, and service that are difficult to understand. This situation has nothing to do with the general environment and vicious competition. In the past few years, An Anhui customer from Tianyi asked how much an aluminum art door costs per square meter. After I gave him a quote, he said very differently that it would only cost 400. One more square meter, I know he doesn’t know much about this, and he doesn’t know much about the production, cost, materials, and craftsmanship of aluminum art doors. It is roughly a general price term that follows what others say. This is not the fault of the other party, but that everyone is not familiar with the product. Understand these questions, what is the process of making a set of aluminum art doors, and what is the difference in price.

Aluminum alloy courtyard door is all aluminum Alloy material, except for hardware accessories, the rest is made of aluminum alloy. Its material composition is divided into: aluminum material, aluminum plate, aluminum flowers, flat iron, hardware accessories, surface coating, and packaging. Then why is the price so different? Woolen cloth? The difference is reflected in the aluminum alloy material. Let’s expand on the difference.

Aluminum material

Now Aluminum garden door aluminum materials are broadly divided into two categories: general-purpose and non-universal. The general-purpose type is the type that can be purchased on the market.It belongs to the general category, and the non-universal category is the aluminum material designed and made by the aluminum art villa door manufacturer itself. If we think of these two types of aluminum as good or bad, it is a mixed bag. The general-purpose aluminum material varies depending on the region, Differences between manufacturers lead to differences in prices The price of non-general aluminum materials is relatively large, and the non-general aluminum materials are customized through mold opening at the aluminum material factory. The quality depends on the difference between the aluminum ingot markings and the cooperative manufacturers. Generally, the price of aluminum materials is measured by the price of aluminum ingots. The performance is as follows The price of aluminum ingots plus processing fees is a model.

Good quality aluminum materials are generally made of national standard aluminum ingots for extrusion production. Poor quality aluminum uses recycled aluminum , other added raw materials and other non-aluminum materials, the difference is particularly big. The price of aluminum in Guangdong is about 17,000 per ton, and the price of aluminum in Jiangsu is 16,000 to 17,000 per ton. The price in other regions may be slightly lower. , this is the price of basic aluminum materials.

The price of an aluminum plate ranges from more than 200 yuan to more than 400 yuan. This is only part of the aluminum plate. The price is about 5 to 8 for a set of doors. I am talking about conventional aluminum art doors. You can think about the specific cost. If aluminum materials such as decorative strips and small tubes are included, the price will be natural. It\’s not cheap.

Aluminum plate

Aluminum plate is aluminum art The door is an indispensable material. The thickness of the aluminum plate is quite different. The common specifications are from 1.0 to 3.0. Of course, the thickness determines the price. The specifications are from 1 meter * 2 meters and 1.2 meters * 2. There are various specifications such as 4 meters, 1.2 meters Carry out engraving operations to form patterns such as diamonds, lines, and arcs, which are more expensive. A set of doors requires a number of aluminum plates ranging from 1 to 3 depending on the size.

Aluminum flowers

Aluminum flower is the main form of aluminum art door pattern. Its production process is divided into three processes: engraving, casting and die-casting.

Engraving is a high-end product, generally. Carving is divided into two methods: flat carving and relief carving. Flat carving uses a flat surface to depict various shapes. The disadvantage is that there is no three-dimensional sense. Relief carving has uneven textures as a foil, and the relief requires a higher thickness of the aluminum plate. The original thickness It\’s roughly 2 centimeters, and now it can be produced by compressing it to 1 centimeter to 8 millimeters. It can be seen how fierce the competition is.

The casting process generally uses carved aluminum flowers as models, and uses sand casting to To obtain the shape, this kind of aluminum flower is basically thicker and has more blisters than the carved aluminum flower. Judging from its texture and shape, it is still the most commonly used type. This kind of aluminum flower takes up a large part of the cost of the door. Now it is In order to reduce the price, the sand-cast aluminum flowers have also been changed, and they are not as heavy as before. The quality of this aluminum flower is quite good.

Die-cast aluminum flowers are relatively thin and light. Under the current chaotic market conditions, die-cast aluminum flowers have the potential to replace cast aluminum flowers, but the quality is very poor. This is not only reflected in the lightness and thinness, but also in use. Made of zinc-aluminum alloy, it is cheap and profitable Rungao and consumer feedback are poor because of this kind of aluminum flower. Everyone is comparing prices while ignoring the quality issue. This needs to be adjusted carefully. You can’t say anything about the poor quality aluminum flower. You can’t just make a few extra bucks. For money, the overall quality of the aluminum art door is ignored.

Flat iron

Flat iron is an essential material used for the aluminum art door hinges and the top and bottom hinges. The quality cannot be measured as long as it has good load-bearing ability. It should be as thick as possible inside the door so that it can be used longer.

Hardware accessories

Hardware accessories are divided into locks, floor plugs, door openers and other equipment. The locks are also divided into three, six or nine. Take the lock body as an example, it is divided into galvanized and stainless steel materials. The price gap is large, with small For example, the lock body is more than 30 yuan for a galvanized lock body and about 50 yuan for a stainless steel lock body. The difference is about 20 yuan, and the product performance is very different. The handle is an external hardware accessory, and the difference in price and craftsmanship is It is reflected in aspects such as durability and weather resistance.

Floor plugs are made of iron and stainless steel. Stainless steel is mostly made of hollow tubes, while iron is mostly made of solid tubes. This distinction depends on whether the door is swaying or not when it is locked. It is divided into two methods: hidden type and exposed type. It depends on your needs.

The door opener is an optional accessory that can automatically open and close the door and lock it.

Aluminum art villa door production

Aluminum art The production of courtyard doors is basically welded. The production method is to make detailed calculations on the drawings in the early stage, taking into account the size reduction and length, and pay attention to the errors when cutting materials. Door making is a craft, but the accuracy determines the overall size of the door, so calculate the materials. Accuracy and accurate cutting are the key points.

The hinges and the heaven and earth hinges will be installed next. When installing the hinges, pay attention to the gaps and twists of the hinges. If you are not familiar with them, it is easy to cause the problem of excessive gaps in the hinges. Pay attention to these during installation. Only good marks will do.

Cutting and welding are the steps that take a long time in the production process of aluminum art doors. The quality of aluminum art doors depends on the welding process. For many doors, the solder joints after welding are very It is not ideal, and the wear marks after coloring are very obvious. This is one of the indicators of the quality of the aluminum art door.

The production of arcs is more critical. There are two types of arc production: manual production and machine bending. Small doors or small arcs need to be made by hand. Whether the door shape looks good or not depends on Above the door arc, you should have seen many aluminum art courtyard doors. The level of door arc production determines the overall grade of the product, especially the treatment of the arc cutting parts and the smoothness of the surface.In terms of appearance, the ideal door arc is a half-moon arc shape when viewed from the front and no deformation on the arc surface when viewed from a close distance.

The surface color of the aluminum art courtyard door

People say that 30% of the appearance is 70% of the dress, and its purpose lies in dressing up. The surface color of the aluminum art patio door is For this reason, if the color is not done well or there are leaks, yin and yang colors, large color differences and other factors, it means that the door is not done well. When doing color, you need to pay attention to whether the surface of the aluminum art door is clean. Only when spraying can the color effect be guaranteed. There is a certain amount of knowledge in the spraying techniques and the adjustment of the spray machine, but the spray gun cannot be adjusted well. The effect of spraying is not ideal.

The price difference between aluminum art patio doors

Everyone will encounter this problem when purchasing aluminum art patio doors. The price is expensive, but few people ask about aluminum art patio doors. Cheap prices are annoying. I recently saw imitation aluminum patio doors on the market. The price is more than 400 per square meter. Some customers said that they can use a magnet to test whether they are aluminum alloy. I think it’s ridiculous. Can the magnet test out aluminum alloy? It seems that the material that is not adsorbed is the aluminum alloy door. Although this is a joke, it is indeed a reality. In order to save some money, consumers who do not know the truth purchase non-aluminum patio doors in the name of aluminum art doors. After installation, it seems that the difference in effect is not big, so I can just muddle along. In the future, Many problems arise during use. The first ones are durability, failure rate and other issues. Because you get what you pay for, and good things are indeed expensive. If you want to buy an aluminum art door, you must have an understanding of the characteristics of the product. That\’s it, and then the right thing to do is to understand the price.

In addition, the difference in price lies in the materials and styles. Generally speaking, the styles are simple and the materials are small, so the price is naturally cheaper. When choosing, most people like good-looking and cheap ones. , this is a paradox. Just highlight the focus when choosing. If it is just for practicality, simple styles and cheap prices are not a bad idea.

End

A set of aluminum art doors has gone through the above processing in production. I believe everyone knows why its price is expensive, and how to judge the quality and craftsmanship. I believe you will also understand the difference. If you still have questions, you can leave a message below and I will answer it clearly for you.
