Frame Options
Amerimax Windows & Doors offers a range of sophisticated frame options designed to complement their innovative door systems. These frames are engineered for durability, aesthetic appeal, and optimal performance, ensuring a seamless integration with their Folding Door Systems, Corner Door Systems, Multi-Slide Doors, and Multi-Slide Stacking Doors.
The available frame options are crafted from high-quality materials to provide robust support and enhance the visual design of the doors. Each frame is designed to accommodate the specific operational needs of the door type, whether it's the smooth folding action of the Folding Door System, the expansive opening of the Corner Door System, or the continuous expanse of the Multi-Slide and Multi-Slide Stacking Doors.
Frame Material Options
- Aluminum: A primary material choice, aluminum frames offer a blend of strength and lightweight properties. They are highly resistant to corrosion and can be finished in a variety of colors to match any architectural style. Aluminum is ideal for large-format doors due to its structural integrity.
Frame Finishes
To further customize the appearance and ensure long-term durability, Amerimax provides a selection of frame finishes:
- Anodized Finishes: These finishes provide a hard, protective surface that enhances the natural corrosion resistance of aluminum. Available in a range of metallic tones, anodizing offers a sleek and modern look.
- Powder Coat Finishes: A wide spectrum of colors is achievable with powder coating. This process applies a dry powder electrostatically and then cures it under heat, creating a durable, attractive, and environmentally friendly finish. This allows for extensive design flexibility to match specific project requirements.
Frame Profiles and Design Considerations
The frame profiles are meticulously designed to:
- Support the weight and operation of large glass panels.
- Provide excellent thermal performance when paired with appropriate glazing.
- Ensure weather tightness and security.
- Offer clean sightlines to maximize the viewing area.
For the Multi-Slide and Multi-Slide Stacking Doors, the frame system is designed to allow for multiple panels to slide smoothly and stack neatly, creating unobstructed openings. Similarly, the frames for the Corner Door System are engineered to provide structural support at the corner junction while maintaining a clean aesthetic. The Folding Door System frames are optimized to facilitate the smooth and compact folding of door panels.
