Innovative Pivot Door System: Redefining Modern Design

Our latest offering, the Pivot door system, marks a significant breakthrough in design innovation. Unlike traditional doors, our pivot doors feature hinges discreetly relocated from the vertical sides to the top and bottom horizontal areas of the door frame, creating a completely concealed system ideal for contemporary and modern aesthetics.

This new hinge placement ensures a more balanced weight distribution, allowing us to manufacture and install much larger doors than ever before. Beyond their practicality, the unique hinge positioning becomes a captivating point of interest for friends and guests, adding an intriguing element to your project. As larger glass panels continue to gain popularity in both new builds and renovations, our pivot door system empowers you to apply this sleek and spacious treatment to your openings.

Precise and Professional Installation Services

Our extensive installation team, coupled with our diverse range of structural glass products, guarantees a seamless installation experience for your pivot door.

The pivot hinge, a meticulously engineered component, demands precise installation to ensure the flawless operation of your pivot door. Rest assured, our skilled staff members have all undergone comprehensive training to ensure the success of every installation.

Given the substantial weight of many of our pivot doors, the use of a crane is often necessary for installation. We possess our own compact robot crane, ideal for low-access areas. In situations where access is limited, we have established a strong partnership with an external crane supplier, allowing us to safely lift the glass panels over your existing home. This ensures a swift and secure installation of your new glass products, providing peace of mind throughout the process.

Tailored to Perfection: Customizing Your Pivot Door

Our pivot doors offer a wealth of customization options, allowing you to tailor them to your specific project needs. Choose from a diverse selection of handles, colors, and glazing options to achieve the perfect look.

Stainless steel bar handles, available in various lengths, are a popular choice for their sleek appearance and durability.

Standard features include highly efficient double glazing, featuring a warm-edge spacer bar, argon gas filling, and a low-e coating, all of which enhance energy efficiency. For those seeking even greater insulation, we also offer triple glazing.

Explore additional options such as acoustic, privacy, and etched glass to suit your privacy and aesthetic preferences.

To ensure durability, all our pivot doors are supplied in an aluminum frame. They are finished with a polyester powder coating, available in any RAL color of your choice, allowing for easy coordination with other existing glazing products in your home. Experience the freedom to design your pivot door with the finishes that reflect your unique style.
