Aluminium hinged door frame systems are precision-engineered architectural components designed for residential and commercial applications throughout Australia. These systems utilise extruded aluminium profiles, predominantly 6063-T5 alloy, offering exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and corrosion resistance. Available in standard frame depths from 50mm (commercial doors) to 150mm (thermally broken systems), they accommodate various glazing options and hardware configurations. Surface treatments include powder coating (zero VOC) and anodising processes, providing durability against UV exposure, salt spray, and extreme temperatures characteristic of Australian climates.
