For doors, infill weight, safety, solar load and the glass or panel edge are as important as thermal performance.
Aluron / Architectural pivot doors
AS 100 Pivot
An external door system with an offset rotation axis for large architectural entrances. Glass, door panel and Glass Line infills are available together with modern access-control options.
VERIFIED PARAMETERS
An entrance door can be a major architectural element.
Pivot geometry allows very large leaves, but weights up to 500 kg require early coordination of support, lock/drive, floor detail, transport and installation.

For AS 100 Pivot, the catalogue maximum is not a project recommendation. A large pivot leaf needs checks for weight, pivot axis, floor mechanism, lock and supporting base.
PROFILE CROSS-SECTION
AS 100 Pivot profile geometry in detail.
This image shows the system's profile geometry, chambers, thermal breaks and glazing zones. The final junction is selected for the opening scheme, glass build-up, dimensions and project loads.
PREMIUM ENTRANCE

03
Concealed lock, access-control and lighting options
04
Inward or outward opening variants
ENTRANCE JUNCTION
500 kg must be transferred into the building structure.
Pivot doors require accurate top and bottom support design. Floor build-up, waterproofing, automatic sealing and service access are coordinated before finishes are completed.
01
Supports
Loads from the pivot axis are transferred to a rigid structural base without local deformation.
02
Access control
Lock, power, fingerprint/keypad, automation and cable routes are coordinated in advance.
03
Installation
Size and mass determine transport, lifting, temporary restraint and adjustment tolerances.
BIFORIUM / PRACTICE
A system only works as a whole with glass, hardware and installation.
Threshold, rigid support, waterproofing and finished-floor level are fixed before production.
Open engineering details ↗Lock, hinges or pivot mechanism, closer, automation and access control are coordinated as one hardware package.
Threshold, rigid support, waterproofing and finished-floor level are fixed before production.
FAQ / SPECIFICATION
Questions to close before specification.
Can the system be selected only from catalogue performance?
No. Published values help shortlist options, but the finished element still has to be checked for size, glazing, weight, hardware, loads and installation detail.
Does every opening need the same glazing build-up?
Not necessarily. A south-facing elevation, a bedroom near traffic, a large fixed pane and an entrance leaf can require different glazing within the same project.
When should the installation detail be coordinated?
Before the final order. Finished-floor level, insulation, waterproofing, structural support and drainage can change the frame, threshold or final manufacturing size.
HOW TO READ THE DATA
Six values that shape the result.
A catalogue maximum is not the rating of every fabricated element. Classes depend on size, opening scheme, glazing, hardware and the tested configuration.
