Send an InquiryAs a leading global extrusion factory and specialized B2B supplier serving South Africa, our manufacturing ecosystem is structured to resolve the exact structural, climatic, and regulatory challenges faced by South African architects, facade contractors, and commercial developers. The South African built environment demands fenestration solutions that balance high structural integrity against severe wind loads, exceptional thermal insulation against extreme solar radiation, and robust anti-corrosion treatments for coastal regions.
The structural performance of an architectural entrance door starts with billet selection. We extrude primary aluminum billets utilizing specific architectural alloys tailored to mechanical stress requirements:
| Alloy & Temper | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Corrosion Resistance | Primary South African Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6063-T5 | ≥ 150 | ≥ 110 | Excellent | Standard interior & protected shopfront doors |
| 6063-T6 | ≥ 205 | ≥ 170 | Superior | SANS 10400-XA thermal break entrance doors |
| 6061-T6 | ≥ 290 | ≥ 240 | High Structural | Heavy-duty pivot doors & high-traffic portals |
| 5083-H116 | ≥ 305 | ≥ 215 | C5-M Marine Grade | Coastal estate & beachfront main entrances |
South Africa’s National Building Regulations (SANS 10400-XA and SANS 204) enforce strict limits on building envelope energy loss. Entrance fenestration in climate zones 1 through 6 (from Johannesburg Highveld cold winters to Kalahari extreme summer heat) must meet mandatory U-value and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) targets.
Our thermal break entrance door series incorporates mechanically crimped 24mm to 34mm Polyamide PA66-GF25 (25% glass-fiber reinforced) thermal barrier strips. This structural break isolates the exterior aluminum profile from the internal profile, stopping thermal conduction:
Backing your projects with over five decades of industrial metal extrusion expertise, automated powder coating, and international compliance testing.
Operating multi-ton extrusion press lines capable of extruding up to 350mm circumscribing circles. Custom architectural profile dies cut, tested, and sample-approved within 10 to 15 working days.
Equipped with an automated chromate-free pre-treatment powder coating line. Utilizing AkzoNobel Interpon architectural powders engineered to resist 10+ years of high UV radiation in South Africa without chalking.
Container-optimized bundle packing using interleaved protective film, moisture-proof kraft wrap, and wooden crate bundling for seamless break-bulk sea freight to Durban (Port Natal) and Cape Town.
Architectural entrance doors installed along Camps Bay, Clifton, the V&A Waterfront, and Somerset West face persistent "Cape Doctor" south-easterly winds carrying dense marine salt spray. Wind loads can exceed 2800 Pa during gale-force storms.
Factory Specification: We supply heavy-wall 6063-T6 profiles with a minimum frame depth of 100mm, reinforced steel or 6061-T6 internal stiffeners, and a 25-micron anodic coat or C5-M certified Qualicoat powder finish. Doors are equipped with EPDM continuous double-compression gasket seals to prevent water ingress during wind-driven rain.
Commercial entrance portals for corporate headquarters in Sandton, Midrand, and Centurion require high structural stability, rapid automated integration, and heavy foot-traffic wear resistance.
Factory Specification: Ultra-wide pivot doors and automated telescopic sliding door entrances built with heavy-duty top and bottom transom profiles. Machine-milled heavy-duty floor spring pivot plates capable of supporting single glass/panel leaf weights up to 350 kg with zero frame sag over time.
High relative humidity combined with elevated ambient temperatures creates intense atmospheric corrosion and thermal expansion pressures in fenestration profiles.
Factory Specification: Thermally broken door profiles paired with stainless steel 316 grade hardware accessories, concealed drainage channels, and anti-fungal silicone glazing seats ensuring zero frame swelling, jamming, or surface pitting.
Technical, logistical, and compliance answers for South African contractors, fabricators, and architects.
Our aluminum entrance door extrusions are engineered and tested in accordance with international fenestration standards that meet or exceed AAAMSA (Architectural Aluminium Association of South Africa) criteria. We provide complete fenestration U-value and SHGC calculation datasheets per profile combination, allowing South African professional engineers to verify SANS 10400-XA compliance during the rational design approval phase.
For installations within 5 kilometers of the ocean, we strictly recommend either a 25-micron Architectural Anodized finish or a Qualicoat Class 2 / Marine-Grade C5-M powder coating. We utilize chromate-free pre-treatment etching bath processes to ensure maximum chemical adhesion, preventing finish blistering or filiform corrosion.
Yes. You can provide DXF, DWG, or STEP CAD files, or physical profile samples. Our tool and die department manufactures custom extrusion dies in 10 to 15 working days. First-article extruded samples are dimensionally inspected and sent for your engineering sign-off prior to mass container production.
Production lead time is typically 15 to 20 days from drawing approval. Ocean freight shipping from our port to Durban (Port Natal) takes approximately 18 to 22 days, and to Cape Town approximately 24 to 28 days. We supply full export documentation including Commercial Invoices, Bills of Lading, Packing Lists, and Mill Test Certificates (MTC) to streamline SACU customs clearance.
Our door stiles feature standardized Euro-groove (E-groove) hardware channels and internal reinforced screw flutes. This enables seamless drop-in integration of multi-point deadbolt locks, magnetic locks, electric strikes, and concealed door closers popular across South African commercial developments.
Standard minimum order quantities are typically 500 kg to 1,000 kg per profile section for custom colors or custom dies. For standard stocked extrusion profiles and standard architectural shades (Matt Charcoal, Matt Black, White), lower MOQs can be consolidated into mixed FCL (Full Container Load) shipments.
