What wind load rating do your aluminium doors meet?

Q: What wind load rating do your aluminium doors meet?

Our aluminium doors are engineered and tested to EN 12210 Class C3 / B3, which corresponds to a positive/negative wind pressure of about 2.0 kPa — the level required for high-rise residential towers, typhoon zones in Southeast Asia and hurricane-prone coastlines on request.The performance comes from the 6063-T5 profile wall of 1.4-2.0 mm, the multi-chamber internal structure, EPDM dual seals and the European multi-point mortise lock pulling the leaf firmly against the frame. Air permeability is Class 4 (EN 12153) and water tightness Class 8A (EN 12154). For higher-rise or hurricane project files we can supply structural calculations and test reports.
