Oversized Aluminum Doors and Aluminum Pivot Doors

SingCore manufactures aluminum skin door slabs for large architectural openings. These doors support projects that require oversized aluminum doors, aluminum pivot doors, or other custom door dimensions.

Since SingCore manufactures each door to order, architects and millwork shops can specify doors that exceed typical industry sizes for residential and commercial projects.

SingCore doors include a 50-year guarantee against warping.

Construction of SingCore Aluminum Skin Doors

A SingCore aluminum skin door includes the following components:

• Aluminum face skins
• Structural SingCore core
• Internal blocking for hardware
• Custom thickness based on project requirements

Internal blocking can be placed where hardware requires support. In addition, the door thickness and internal layout can be coordinated with the hardware selected for the project.

Aluminum Skin Material

Aluminum skins form the metal surface on both faces of the door.

Suppliers can provide aluminum sheets in lengths up to 20′. In some cases, larger lengths may also be available. Therefore, aluminum skin doors can be manufactured for very tall openings where standard sheet sizes would otherwise limit door height.

Benefits of SingCore Construction

SingCore doors use a patented structural core rather than solid wood or particleboard construction. As a result, this construction provides several advantages when manufacturing oversized aluminum doors.

Lightweight Construction

The internal core reduces the overall weight of large door slabs. Because of this, crews can often handle and install oversized aluminum doors more easily than comparable solid constructions.

Lower weight may also reduce loads placed on hardware such as hinges or pivot systems.

Flatness

SingCore panels are designed to maintain flat surfaces across large panel sizes. This characteristic becomes more important as door size increases.

Large Door Sizes

SingCore manufactures panels to order and can produce them in very large sizes. Therefore, oversized aluminum doors and aluminum pivot doors can exceed typical industry size limits.

Projects can also coordinate large door slabs and tall architectural doors with specific project requirements.

Custom Construction

Or team builds each door to order. Because of this, project teams can coordinate thickness, internal blocking, and skin material with the needs of the project.

Applications for Aluminum Skin Doors

Aluminum skin doors can be used in several door configurations, including:

• Oversized entry doors
• Aluminum pivot doors
• Tall interior doors
• Commercial openings
• Custom architectural doors

Performance Considerations

Large doors require coordination between door size, hardware ratings, and installation conditions.

During design, architects and millwork shops should review door weight, pivot capacity, hinge ratings, and installation conditions together.

Trade Sales

SingCore supplies unfinished door slabs to trade professionals including millwork shops, contractors, and architects. Typically, the project millwork team completes the final machining, finishing, and installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large can aluminum skin doors be made?

SingCore manufactures doors to order. Aluminum sheets can be supplied in lengths up to 20′, which allows aluminum skin doors to be produced for oversized door installations.
