Aluminium exterior door L996 made to order

Aluminium exterior door with slender profile and high-performance quadruple glazing, Ud 0.85 W/m²K. Contemporary elegance meets thermal excellence for premium homes.

The L996 is an exterior access solution that combines contemporary elegance with robust engineering. Built from aluminium with a structural profile 92 mm in total depth, it integrates seamlessly into minimalist facades and modern architecture, delivering the refined discretion of current design without compromising thermal performance.

The 3 mm aluminium profile benefits from an articulated thermal break of 34 mm, which prevents heat transfer between interior and exterior. The quadruple glazing—composed of two 44.1 mm laminated triplex panes with a central 5 mm satin glass layer—ensures exceptional thermal protection. Triple EPDM seals are strategically positioned to eliminate air and water infiltration, guaranteeing durability even under demanding climatic conditions.

Thermal performance certified by ift Rosenheim achieves a Ud value of 0.85 W/m²K, placing this door at the top tier of European energy efficiency standards. This translates to substantial reductions in heating losses and lower seasonal energy costs. The 92 mm leaf depth and 80 mm frame profile allow seamless integration into modern exterior walls, while dimensional flexibility—up to 1,200×2,500 mm for single leaves—accommodates any opening configuration.

Exterior access via L996 supports customization in opening systems: traditional swing, pivot, or sliding configurations tailored to spatial needs and architectural preference. Aluminium colours can be matched to facade palettes, creating visual continuity from entry to building volume. Standard anodized finishes resist deterioration from weather exposure, oxidation, and UV radiation over extended periods.

Recommended for premium residences, urban villas with minimalist facades, residential projects demanding high energy standards, and passive houses. It suits modern, Scandinavian, industrial-chic, or contemporary architecture where clean lines and noble materials define spatial identity. Combined with polished concrete, solid wood, or natural stone flooring, it creates a reference-level entrance.

The exceptional thermal performance (Ud 0.85 W/m²K) comes from four key elements: quadruple insulated glazing, a 34 mm articulated thermal break in the aluminium profile, three multi-point EPDM gaskets, and 92 mm total system depth. This combination ensures minimal heat loss and significant energy bill savings.

Yes, the L996 allows custom ordering. Standard maximum dimensions are 1100×2300 mm (dual-pivot configuration), but for a single leaf you can request up to 1200×2500 mm. For custom sizes beyond these limits, contact our design team — we can assess feasibility and adapt the solution to your needs.

The L996 features quadruple insulated glazing: 44.1 mm external triplex + 5 mm Satinato + 44.1 mm internal triplex. The triplex configuration (laminated glass) ensures that upon impact, glass remains held in place by PVB interlayers, preventing falls and cutting risks. It also attenuates external noise.

The pivot system of the L996 allows opening on a vertical axis without traditional side channels — the rotation mechanism (hidden hinges) is integrated into the top and bottom frame. Advantages: cleaner, more modern look (no visual interruption on the frame), bidirectional opening possible, and placement flexibility (door can be offset-mounted, not just centered). Ideal for contemporary design spaces and high-traffic areas.

The L996 with slim profile and pivot system requires installation on aluminium or steel frames compatible with 92 mm total depth and 80 mm frame depth. The masonry must allow inset of pivot hinges on each side (corner installation — top and bottom corner). We recommend pre-installation verification by certified installers to ensure correct levelling and proper multi-point sealing of EPDM gaskets.

The 3 mm aluminium profile of the L996 can be cleaned with lukewarm water and neutral soap, then dried with a soft cloth — avoid aggressive solvents. EPDM gaskets (three sealing points) need annual inspection and light lubrication with neutral silicone if they become stiff. The pivot mechanism should be checked and adjusted if you notice opening deviation. For anodised or special finishes, consult the manufacturer's specific recommendations for protective treatment.
