Aluminum doors are a popular choice for Cleveland commercial property owners, thanks to their durability, security, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. As businesses strive to create environments that are secure, welcoming, and efficient, aluminum doors are almost always stand out choice.

Among the types of businesses and commercial property that tend to swing toward aluminum doors for both external and internal pathways:

• Healthcare facilities.
• Public buildings (city halls, schools, police stations, etc.)
• Office buildings.
• Warehouses.
• Malls and other large retail outlets.
• Banks and financial institutions.

They work well for larger operations because they can withstand heavy use and harsh weather. At the same time, they’re still roughly 1/3 the weight of a steel door. Lots of smaller businesses also like aluminum doors for their cost efficiency and vast customizable aesthetic options.

Our dedicated door technicians can help you review the options and zero in on the type, size, and style of door that will best suit the needs of your commercial operation.

Types of Aluminum Doors

One of the nice things about our wide selection of aluminum door options is that commercial customers get their pick of features.

Commercial property owners and managers often have to be highly selective because they’ve got to consider more than mere function. They may have to take into account building code regulations, industry standards, property insurance requirements, and adequate security to avoid premises liability. Aluminum doors might be the top choice for owners of industrial complexes, nursing homes, and sports stadiums alike — but all will have very different criteria in terms of what they require for certain ingress/egress points.

Our Cleveland aluminum door selection options include:

• Swing doors. These will swing outward, a lot like traditional wooden doors. They tend to be easy to operate, can accommodate automatic openers, and offer a welcoming entrance. They’re great for retail stores, office entrances, and schools.
• Sliding doors. Aluminum sliding doors will open by sliding horizontally along a track. They’re most often used in big commercial spaces, airports, healthcare facilities, etc., favored for their space savings, convenience, and ample accessibility.
• Bifold doors. These are great for restaurants, cafes, or other venues with outdoor seating options. Bifold aluminum doors fold out in sections as they open, allowing for a wide opening. As Cleveland commercial door retailers, we’re seeing a lot of customers use them for blending indoor/outdoor spaces with more of a modern look.
• Revolving doors. Revolving aluminum doors will rotate on a central axis. Most often, these are going to be at corporate headquarters, courthouses, upscale department stores or retailers, large office buildings, higher-end hotels, etc. They’re energy efficient and great for managing heavy foot traffic.
• Glass/aluminum doors. These are aluminum frame doors with glass panels. These are popular in offices, showrooms, retail outlets, etc. They let in a lot of natural light, enhance visibility and newer styles have more of a sleek, contemporary appearance.
