Cold aluminum doors are aluminum door structures without a thermal insulation insert. Unlike warm systems, such a profile lacks a special thermal break, so the structure is not intended for areas where maximum heat retention is required.
A cold profile does not mean "low quality." It is a separate type of aluminum profile system for applications where doors do not require high thermal insulation. Such structures are ideal for interior spaces, commercial facilities, vestibules, utility areas, terraces, verandas, and unheated rooms.
The advantages of the cold profile are a lower price compared to warm systems, lower weight, neat frame geometry, high rigidity, and versatility. Aluminum is characterized by high strength, does not emit harmful substances, does not require complex maintenance, and is well suited for long-term operation.
The characteristics of cold aluminum doors are selected for a specific project, type of opening, traffic volume, and exterior design of the structure.
| Characteristic | Explanation of the characteristic | Values for cold doors |
|---|---|---|
| Mounting depth | Physical thickness of the door frame from its outer edge to the inner edge | varies from 40 mm to 50 mm |
| Filling range | The range of allowable thickness of a translucent element (double-glazed unit) or blank panel that can be technologically fixed in the profile rebate using glazing beads | ranges from 4 mm (single glass) to 26–32 mm |
| Sealing contours | Rows of elastic gaskets (EPDM/silicone) along the perimeter of the rebate. They protect against drafts, moisture, dust, and provide sound insulation. | 2 circuits (external and internal for dust and sound protection) |
| Profile thickness | The thickness of the aluminum metal itself in the cross-section of the profile | varies from 1.2 mm to 2.0 mm (depending on the purpose and traffic capacity) |
| Double-glazing thickness | It is defined as the sum of the thicknesses of all glass panes and spacer bars. | from 4 mm (single glass) to 24–32 mm (single-chamber unit) |
The price of cold aluminum doors is calculated individually. The structure is manufactured for a specific opening, so the final cost depends not only on the size, but also on the profile, glass, hardware, opening method, frame parameters, and installation conditions.
The price is influenced by:
Cold aluminum doors are installed in interior office entrances, corridors, meeting rooms, reception areas, glass partitions, and passageways between rooms. They are suitable where there is no need to separate a warm area from a cold street.
Examples: interior doors to the meeting room; doors in a glass office partition.
In commercial properties, such doors are often chosen for their durability, aesthetic appeal, the possibility of a large glazing area, and resistance to daily foot traffic. Such doors can be transparent, combined, or equipped with additional hardware for access control.
Examples: entrance doors for a store in a shopping mall, a salon, a showroom, or a service area.
Cold doors can be used as secondary vestibule doors in intermediate zones, utility rooms, warehouses, passageways, unheated corridors, and interior entrances in commercial buildings. For such structures, tightness, reliability of fittings, and proper installation are important.
Examples: doors between the vestibule and the hall; doors for entering a technical or storage room.
Doors made of cold profiles are appropriate where the space is not heated or does not require high thermal insulation. These can be seasonal areas, utility rooms, glazed verandas, gazebos, summer terraces, as well as sliding structures in private houses.
Examples: sliding doors to the unheated terrace of a private house; doors to a gazebo or utility area.

Yes, cold aluminum doors can be installed outdoors, but only in areas without high thermal insulation requirements. For example, for unheated rooms, vestibules, utility entrances, terraces, or utility areas.
Cold aluminum doors are made of a profile without a thermal break, so they have lower thermal insulation properties. Warm aluminum doors have a thermal insulation insert and are better suited for the main entrance to a heated room.
