PVC Doors – Essential Insights

Designed for long-term performance, PVC doors provide excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, durability, and cost efficiency — ideal for large-scale residential or commercial developments.

1. Where Will the Doors Be Installed?
Start by defining the installation area — this determines the required performance class, opening configuration, and technical specifications.

Exterior Doors

  • Suitable for main or secondary entrances
  • Weather- and heavy-use resistant
  • Supplied with a low threshold as standard
  • Can open inwards or outwards

Patio Doors

  • Commonly used in private homes
  • Provide easy access to yard or terrace
  • Option of low or high threshold
  • Handle typically placed inside only

Interior Doors

  • Designed to separate indoor spaces
  • Available with or without a threshold
  • Prioritize design and everyday comfort

2. Handles and Locks – More Than Just Looks

Handle types:

  • Tilt/turn – often used for patio and interior doors
  • Pull/Pull – popular for exterior doors
  • Combination (pull + tilt/turn) – different functions on each side

Lock options:

  • Multi-point lock – operated from the handle
  • Three-point lock – operated with a key
  • Automatic hook lock – for extra security
  • For interior doors – single-point or standard locks

3. Accessories for Extra Convenience

Depending on the space and traffic, you can add:

  • Door closers
  • Electronic latches
  • Extra bolts
  • Impact stoppers
  • Cylinder locks (patio doors)

4. Infill and Design Options
