Steel pivot doors differ from steel sliding doors due to their special hinge points, allowing them to pivot around a vertical axis. This gives them a distinctive and elegant swinging motion, unlike the horizontal movement of steel sliding doors.
Steel pivot doors are known for their sleek, calm, and slim design. Equipped with an automatic closing system, they pivot effortlessly and require no maintenance. While pivot doors are a standard type of "steel doors," they bring a rustic charm, perfect for modern interiors.
The Production Process of Steel Pivot Doors
How is a steel pivot door assembled? While there are various design options, the basic production process remains consistent. After measuring the desired opening at your home, we start working on the profiles and manufacturing them.
Modern CNC machines efficiently produce the profiles. The hinge is essential, and its position is adjustable. We typically choose a pivot point at 10.5 cm, but this can be customized, especially for wider doors. The process then continues with assembly: the profiles and muntin distribution are carefully integrated. This way, your steel pivot door is completed with precision and ready for installation.
A pivot door is a unique type of door that rotates around a fixed point in the profile, without the need for a traditional frame. As a result, the pivot door has a floating effect and moves freely within the space. What makes steel pivot doors special is their ability to rotate in both directions thanks to the specific pivot hinge. This hinge is positioned 10 centimeters from the edge, allowing a part of the door to pivot inward when opened. The unique pivoting effect during opening is precisely where the pivot door gets its name.
A pivot door distinguishes itself by the absence of a traditional frame and is mounted directly in a neatly finished opening. What makes the pivot door unique is the pivot hinge, allowing the door to rotate in both directions. Additionally, every pivot door is equipped with a soft-close system, ensuring that the door always closes gently and gradually. The pivot hinge is located centrally or slightly off-center, giving the door a pivot point that differs from standard hinged doors. This technique contributes to the elegance and functionality of the door.
The pivot door offers more than just aesthetics; it comes with innovative features such as the on-hold and soft-close system. Thanks to the on-hold system, the door can stay open at a 90-degree angle. However, if the door is further rotated to 150 degrees, the soft-close mechanism activates, ensuring that the door closes softly and gradually. A crucial innovation is the integration of these systems and hinges into the high threshold of the door. This has the advantage of requiring only a 1 cm deep bore in the floor, which is ideal for avoiding issues with underfloor heating. When mounted in the ceiling, a depth of up to 4 cm is drilled, and it is essential to ensure that there are no hidden pipes in that location.
Various Options for Your Steel Door
Personalize your steel door? You can do that with a variety of options like side panels, muntins, and handles. Side panels not only increase the visual surface but also give your door that distinctive steel ensuite look. Especially in wider openings of more than 1 meter, a side panel is an attractive choice. With our configurator, you can further customize your pivot door by choosing the desired number of side panels, muntins, and handle style. Transform your space with a door that perfectly matches your style and needs.
Furthermore, our pivot doors are made of high-quality aluminum, ensuring they are both strong and durable. The personalized finish in any desired RAL color, made possible by Axalta powder coating, not only gives the door a stylish appearance but also provides durable protection. This coating is so robust that even if you scratch it with a pen, the coating remains intact. And in case a minor damage occurs, we offer specially designed RAL pens that allow you to easily touch up small scratches or imperfections. Choosing a steel pivot door from Emezzi means choosing a stylish, functional, and durable door solution that meets all your needs.
At Emezzi, we drill only 1 cm deep into the floor for our steel pivot doors, making the installation compatible with underfloor heating. A deeper bore of 4 cm in the ceiling ensures stability. Thanks to the lightweight yet robust aluminum, the door is easy to install and functions flawlessly for years, even in spaces with underfloor heating.
