Aluminium doors are popular in modern interiors and are also child-friendly. Thanks to the large panes of glass, they provide plenty of light, a spacious feel and a luxurious look.

However, many parents wonder whether such a door with so much glass is safe for children. Thanks to the strong aluminium, combined with six-millimetre-thick laminated safety glass and a soft-close system, these doors meet all safety requirements.

The soft-close system ensures that the doors close gently, making it less likely for young children to get their fingers trapped in the door.

The safety of glass: laminated and tested

Laminated safety glass consists of two panes of glass with a strong, transparent film in between. This assembly is six millimetres thick. This film prevents the glass from shattering into sharp shards upon a heavy impact. It remains firmly stuck together.

The safety glass used by Aluwdoors is stronger than standard glass, meaning it won’t break even when the door is subject to heavy use. Even if small children bump into the door whilst playing, the glass won’t break.

The glass is firmly anchored in the aluminium frame, so it will not come loose in the event of an impact or vibration.

The construction: strong and maintenance-free

Aluminium is a material that retains its shape, even after years of intensive use. Unlike wood, they do not warp due to temperature differences or moisture. That makes the doors not only durable, but also safer. That is especially nice in households with children.

The strong frame protects the glass all around and prevents sharp edges from forming in the event of a heavy impact. During installation, the door is precisely adjusted so that everything remains perfectly balanced and stays securely in place.

The finish of the aluminium doors

The good finish of our aluminium doors is important for safety. Our doors have no sharp edges or protruding pieces of metal. This prevents children, as well as adults, from injuring themselves on the door.

Every door is guaranteed safe to use. We offer various finishing options, such as a coating in all RAL colours, which enhance the door's appearance and provide extra protection against rust. The door lasts longer and retains its protective properties. This is particularly important in environments with high humidity or in homes where the door is frequently exposed to the elements.

When finishing our aluminium doors, we also pay attention to the safety of the handles and hinges. These components are designed so that they have no sharp edges. The hinges are securely fastened.

Furthermore, we offer the possibility of making the doors more attractive with various decorative elements. With our finishing options, you can tailor the door to your personal style and choose a secure solution.

So our doors are both attractive and safe to use. That is why we continue to invest in the best materials and technologies.

Soft close of the aluminium doors

Our pivot doors and sliding doors are equipped with a soft-close mechanism. This system ensures that the door closes gently and in a controlled manner, which significantly reduces the risk of trapped fingers. A soft-close door closes slowly and quietly, which is not only safer, but also more comfortable.

The soft-close mechanism is especially useful in households with small children, who do not yet have the strength or control to close doors gently. By using soft-close doors, parents have to worry less about accidents and injuries caused by doors slamming shut.

As well as increasing safety, the soft-close mechanism also contributes to the lifespan of the door and the frame. It reduces the impact on the hinges and door closers. The lifespan of the door is thereby extended and fewer repairs are needed.

Extra safety options and accessories

Accessories such as doorstops provide extra security in homes with young children. A doorstop prevents the door from swinging open too far or slamming shut hard.

Window film prevents the glass from shattering in the event of a hard impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury. Together, these accessories make Aluwdoors’s aluminium doors both stylish and safe for children. Seek advice on which safety measures are best suited to your family’s circumstances.

Safety and style: the best of both worlds

Aluminium doors are not only elegant, but also safe to use. With strong safety glass, rounded profiles and a dampening closing mechanism, the door is comfortable and child-friendly.
