Manufacturing Process

Precision CNC Machining & TIG Welding

We use TIG welding technology to fabricate steel frames for all our doors. TIG welding produces higher quality welds with stronger joints, less spatter, and minimal distortion compared to conventional MIG welding.

While TIG welding takes more time and skill to complete, the result is a cleaner, more precise frame that contributes to the overall strength and appearance. Lock holes are CNC-machined to exact specifications, ensuring hardware fits perfectly over the life of the door.

Thermal Core

Insulation Foam Injection

Insulation foam is injected directly into the frame to enhance thermal performance and overall structural integrity.

This insulation is made from a two-component compound consisting of Polyol and Isocyanate, which reacts to form a high-density foam with excellent insulating properties.

The material effectively reduces heat transfer, improves energy efficiency, and helps maintain a stable indoor temperature. In addition, it contributes to sound insulation and increases the durability of the frame, making it a reliable solution for long-term use in various environmental conditions.

Understanding Glass Performance

Key metrics used to evaluate glass for thermal, optical, and acoustic performance.

Thickness
Total glass thickness, typically ranging from 3mm to 12mm per pane depending on application and structural requirements.
Visible Transmittance (VT)
The percentage of visible light that passes through the glass. Higher values indicate clearer, brighter interiors.
UV Transmittance
The percentage of ultraviolet radiation transmitted through the glass. Lower values help protect interior furnishings from fading.
Solar Transmittance
The percentage of total solar energy that passes through the glass, influencing heat gain within the building.
U-Value
Measures the rate of heat transfer through the glass. Lower U-values indicate better insulating performance.
SHGC
The fraction of solar radiation admitted through the glass. Values range from 0 to 1; lower values mean less solar heat gain.
Visible Reflectance
The percentage of visible light reflected by the glass surface. Affects both exterior appearance and interior glare.
STC
A rating of how well the glass reduces sound transmission. Higher STC values provide better acoustic insulation.
SC (Shading Coefficient)
The ratio of solar heat gain relative to clear glass. SC = SHGC × 0.87.
Solar Reflectance
The percentage of solar energy reflected by the glass. Higher reflectance reduces heat gain in warm climates.
