Sagging doors can lead to structural problems, attracting pests and increasing energy costs. Loud noises and visible damage could indicate that a repair or replacement is needed.
Sugar Land has several attractions, including the upscale shopping and dining destination Sugar Land Town Square. There’s also the Smart Financial Centre, a state-of-the-art indoor performance venue.
Metal Doors & Frames
Unlike wooden frames, metal ones do not corrode due to environmental conditions like humidity and temperature. Furthermore, they can last for years without any major repairs! They are also more cost efficient than wooden frames since they require less maintenance. Moreover, they are also more eco-friendly as they do not involve cutting of trees (contributing to the deterioration of the environment).
A commercial metal door frame can have windows on both sides or only on one side and can be made in many different sizes, configurations and designs. For example, it can include mullions, wide doors or opposing door swings. It can be made in pre-assembled sections or as a knockdown (KD) steel frame. KD frames feature interlocking tabs and slots for easy installation.
Architects may also choose to use a fire-rated frame or a temperature rise door for extra safety and security features. These doors are designed to stop flames from spreading quickly and will give people more time to escape.
Solid Core Wood Doors
Whether they’re used as closet doors or interior business doors, wood doors add to the look and feel of a space. They also provide a measure of security and help to reduce sound transmission between rooms.
Solid-core door are dense and hefty, making them a great choice for areas where sound may be an issue. They’re also better insulators than hollow-core doors, providing a natural barrier against heat and cold.
For a modern style that’s durable and affordable, consider the Masonite two-panel solid core molded door. It comes in a prehung format and is ready to install, saving you time and effort. This door is available in many sizes and can even be trimmed to fit specific openings.
For a more traditional look, check out the Kimberly Bay shaker-style door. It’s made with a solid pine core and MDF face, allowing it to mimic the look of a five-panel door while remaining durable. It’s also available in a variety of sizes and can be customized to accommodate glass, lites, and fire rated options.
Stainless Steel Doors & Frames
For a door to be considered stainless steel, it must contain a front and back layer of steel with a core. The thickness of the steel will determine the strength, durability and price of the door. Most commonly, steel doors will be either 16 or 24 gauge, with 20 being the strongest and cheapest option.
Stainless steel doors are ideal for commercial, industrial and high-style environments. They are pleasing to the eye, corrosion resistant, hygienic and fire-rated. Typical applications include water treatment plants, coast guard facilities, pools, tunnels, marine environments and high-end commercial and residential projects.
Stainless doors have long outperformed galvanized/carbon and aluminum in demanding environments because of their natural strength. They also perform better in terms of sanitization, noise reduction and vandal resistance. Stainless steel doors are available in a variety of designs and skins that can instantly enhance your building’s appearance. Stainless doors are also the perfect solution for applications that require exceptional sterile environments, architectural entrances and corrosive environments exposed to harsh exterior elements or chemicals.
Commercial Door Hardware
Commercial spaces often have more complicated door hardware. They need to withstand high usage and security levels. They also need to comply with building codes and rules such as fire safety and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The right hardware ensures that the doors are secure and easy to use.
Some examples of commercial door hardware include door levers, knobs and deadbolts. They may also need to have special hinges. These are designed to be more secure than standard hinges by being made of heavier materials and using different installation methods.
There are also locks that are rated for different grades of commercial spaces. Grade 1 is a higher level of security that is suitable for most spaces including rooms that contain sensitive equipment like IT closets. Other grades are for lighter commercial uses such as offices and closets. They are typically more economical than Grade 1. Grade 2 hardware is also a good choice for commercial spaces.
