The winter season is a time to celebrate. Festivities like Christmas and New Year emerge as occasions that fill our hearts with joy. The anticipation and preparations to celebrate these occasions bring even greater joy. Generally, people start by decorating their houses with items like bouquets or Christmas lights.
However, the season also brings weather-related complications, including issues like roofing problems and poor thermal bridging, among many others. So, how can people make their houses architecturally safe around this time of the year?
Installing metal roofings with snow guards
To prevent snow avalanches or other related conditions, roofs must be equipped with snow guards.
Installing thick walls
Besides providing improved insulation, these offer comfort to occupants, contributing to stable and pleasant living.
Installing chimneys
As a source of heat, chimneys offer comfort to occupants and contribute to efficient ventilation in living spaces.
What about metal doors? What can one do to ensure that their metal door, like the one shown below, does not fail or sustain damage during the winter season?
The Flow Door, handcrafted in copper
Here’s how Aluminr’s exquisite metal front doors are designed to withstand winter conditions.
Weather seals
Upon customization requests, we provide weather seals designed to withstand temperatures from -30 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius.
Door stop-mounted bulb-style compression seals (for the sides of doors)
Double rebated door frame for extra compression, establishing heavy-duty weather stripping
Automatic concealed drop-down seals (for the bottoms of doors)
Door stop-mounted bulb-style compression seals (for the tops of doors)
Concealed brush strip seals (for the tops and bottoms of doors).
When it comes to weather seals for pivot doors and hinged doors, here are some insights.
Weather seals for pivot front doors
Concealed brush strip seals incorporated with compression seals help with heavy-duty weather stripping.
Weather seals for hinged front doors
For heavy-duty weather stripping, rebated door frames help, additionally creating an extra layer of compression.
These seals contribute to acoustic, thermal, and weather containment.
Closed-cell polyurethane insulation foam
These make our doors highly thermally insulated and make them suitable for extreme weather conditions.
With exquisite metal doors comes the need for maintenance and care. We place great emphasis on the structural integrity of our doors, which is why we offer customisations that have already been mentioned and instructions that would help in maintaining the doors. Besides preventing damage to the surface of the doors, these would help in retaining their visual appeal.
When beginning with maintenance, one has to make sure that they regularly tend to the maintenance and cleaning of their metal doors. Consider using a cotton cloth dampened with water or certain neutral products for varnished surfaces, given they are lacquered with a protective transparent varnish.
Avoid using abrasive cloths, solvents, alcohol or any strong detergents. In the case of standing water, dry the surface thoroughly.
Not only do these help to ensure structural stability and prevent damage to the surfaces of metal doors, but these would also help in giving living spaces that special wintery feel that houses exude during this time of the year. Please note that these are merely some instructions that can help you maintain your doors.
In summation, take regular care of your metal front doors and other architectural creations at all times and not just during the winter season. The refined metal front doors we provide are meant to withstand multiple challenges such as extreme weather and offer protection against unforeseen fires and smoke.
