Entrance Group: A Simple Explanation of Structures

The entrance group is not just a door. It is the entrance structure that forms the first impression of the building, protects the premises from cold, wind, and precipitation, regulates the flow of people, and complements the facade. Entrance groups made of glass and aluminum are selected according to the architecture of the object, the intensity of use, and technical requirements.

The entrance group may include:

  • aluminum doors
  • glass door
  • Automatic doors
  • sliding systems
  • swing doors
  • tamburi
  • Facade constructions
  • glass partitions near the entrance
  • Visors, transoms, side panels.

Advantages of glass and aluminum entrance groups

Durability. Aluminum profile entrance doors can withstand daily wear and tear, do not deform from frequent opening, and are suitable for high-traffic areas.

Modern exterior. Glass and metal are enough to make the facade light, open, and presentable.

More natural light. Glass entrance groups allow daylight into the lobby, sales floor, or reception area.

Durability. Aluminum is resistant to corrosion, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.

Custom design. You can choose the profile color, glass type, door format, handles, locks, closers, and additional elements.

Energy efficiency. Aluminum structures provide better thermal insulation if a system with a warm aluminum profile and a suitable double-glazed unit is used.

Design flexibility. Entrance groups for any purpose can be adapted for commercial, residential, or administrative facilities.

Cost of an entrance group and what it depends on

The price for aluminum entrance groups is usually calculated individually. The estimated cost can range from 200 to 600 euros per m², but the exact budget depends on the design, materials, and installation conditions.

The price is influenced by:

  • construction size
  • Profile type
  • Type of warehouse.
  • number of exterior doors
  • availability of automation
  • installation complexity
  • hardware, locks, closers, handles
  • additional elements: visor, vestibule, partitions, transom windows

Examples: A simple cold entrance with an aluminum profile can cost closer to the lower end, while a warm structure with automation, triplex glass, and an airlock will be closer to the upper end. Even two objects of similar size can have different configurations.

Main elements of the entrance group

Entrance groups made of aluminum profiles consist of several parts that work together:

  • Alloy aluminum profile
  • glazing or tempered glass
  • door systems
  • Handles, hinges, locks, door closers
  • sealant
  • thresholds
  • Sliding door automation
  • Visors, side panels, transoms, or vestibules as needed.

Each element of aluminum structures affects the convenience, safety, sealing, and appearance of the entrance.

    FAQ about glass and aluminum entrance groups

    Every object has its own dimensions, openings, loads, and material requirements. A preliminary calculation without measurements only provides an estimate. The exact price is determined after receiving the technical specifications or after a specialist's site visit to avoid budget errors.

    It depends on the type of building, the facade, the object's status, city regulations, and the project documentation. A permit may be required for commercial premises or facade changes. Before starting work, it's best to clarify the requirements with the building owner, management company, or relevant authorities.

    Yes, modern entrance groups can be designed with the needs of people with limited mobility in mind. This includes considering the passage width, threshold height, ease of opening, possibility of automation, and safe access. Such a solution should be incorporated at the design stage.

    The warranty terms depend on the materials, configuration, and scope of work. After the project is approved, we will finalize the construction specifications, installation scope, and warranty conditions. Details can be clarified during the cost calculation.
