Are aluminium doors suitable for families with children?
Aluminium doors are relatively child-friendly. because they are fitted with laminated glass and sturdy profiles. Laminated glass does not disintegrate into dangerous shards when broken and stays neatly in the profiles. This is due to the film between the glass layers. The doors also close precisely. Thanks to these properties, aluminium doors are safe to use for families with children, without compromising on appearance.
Why glass is important for child safety
The glass in aluminium doors plays a major role in child safety. This is why Aluwdoors uses laminated glass as standard. Using this glass minimises the risk of injury. The glass feels sturdy and reliable, making the doors a perfect fit for a family situation. The glass is six millimetres thick, which is thick enough for extra strength.
Rounded and smooth finishes
Aluminium doors from Aluwdoors have no sharp edges. The profiles are carefully finished and the glass panes are fitted tightly into the frame. The laminated glass is clamped all around in the profiles. This creates no loose or sharp edges, so children will not hurt themselves. This ensures a safe finish that is sturdy and child-friendly, without compromising on design.
