CE Certified Aluminium Glass Double Doors Manufacturers & Manufacturer Guide

1. The Anatomy of CE Certified Fenestration (EN 14351-1 Standard)

In the architectural and commercial construction sectors, the CE mark on aluminium double doors is far more than a decorative compliance label. It signifies rigorous conformity with EN 14351-1 (Windows and doors - Product standard, performance characteristics), which enforces standardized testing across key performance parameters. B2B buyers and architectural specifiers must evaluate five vital physical performance characteristics when procuring double-glazed aluminium entrance and patio doors:

Architects specifying exterior double glass doors for commercial entrances or luxury villas must ensure the manufacturer provides valid Initial Type Testing (ITT) reports issued by accredited notified testing bodies. Vexis Windows & Doors ensures every profile series—ranging from slim-frame heavy-duty sliding double doors to heavy inswing casement French doors—undergoes rigorous factory production control (FPC) audit loops.

2. Comparative Technical Evaluation: Standard Commercial Doors vs. CE-Certified Heavy-Duty Systems

To assist procurement directors and project engineers in evaluating fenestration specifications, the matrix below details the structural and thermal performance disparities between commercial-grade non-certified aluminium doors and Vexis CE-certified double glass door systems:

3. Advanced Architectural Glass Configurations for Double Door Systems

The glass component constitutes approximately 80% of the total surface area of an aluminium double door. Consequently, specifying the correct Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) configuration is paramount to achieving structural safety, solar heat control, and acoustic isolation.

A. Toughened Safety Glass (EN 12150-1 Standard)

All glass sashes supplied by Vexis undergo thermal tempering, increasing bending strength four to five times compared to standard annealed float glass. In the event of catastrophic impact, toughened glass fractures into tiny, blunt fragments, drastically reducing bodily injury risk in high-traffic commercial environments.

B. Laminated & Hurricane Impact Glass (EN 14449 / ASTM E1996)

For hurricane-prone regions (such as Florida, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia), Vexis manufactures double glass doors incorporating SentryGlas® (SGP) or high-grade Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) interlayer films sandwiched between tempered glass sheets. Even if the outer glass pane shatters under severe storm debris impact, the structural interlayer maintains structural integrity, preventing building envelope breach.

C. Solar Control Low-E & Argon Gas Filling

By applying a microscopic metallic oxide coating to surface #2 or #3 of the insulated double glazing, short-wave infrared heat radiation is reflected away from the interior while permitting high visible light transmittance (VLT). Argon gas filling in 12mm or 16mm airspace cavities further suppresses convective heat transfer inside the IGU.
