Commercial Doors and Windows, Frequently Asked Questions

C&A Window Systems Ltd have extensive manufacturing experience, providing tried and tested systems for contractors and developers. Here we answer some common questions but encourage you to get in touch for advice on your project.

What are the best commercial windows?

For commercial buildings, the best aluminium windows must meet the design and client requirements and individual functional needs. A good commercial window is secure, energy-efficient, weather resistant and meets the styling required. In addition, commercial windows should be easy to adapt, for example, having window control or ventilation systems fitted, specific handles to assist any disabled users, as well as accepting different types of technical or performance glass. The overall product warranty is also important, covering materials, installation and the powder-coated surface finish.

What windows are used in commercial buildings?

One of the benefits of using windows designed for commercial buildings is their various opening functions. Top hung or side hung, bottom hung open in, tilt and turn, pivot, reversible, parallel opening or a combination of these opening functions can be used in commercial buildings. The option to provide various frame profiles, such as those for larger opening windows is also common place for windows used in commercial buildings.

What is the difference between commercial doors and residential doors?

The significant difference between commercial doors and residential doors is that the commercial design ensures the doors stand up to the higher traffic and more intensive use of commercial buildings. Far more people use a door set in a public building than in a typical dwelling; the door is opened hundreds or thousands of times during the day. This intensive use and durability differentiate the doors fitted in homes and those in schools, shops, offices, and other high-use buildings. Commercial doors must also meet the needs of disabled users and not be a barrier to entry or exit.

What doors are used in commercial buildings?

Depending on the location, aluminium doors used in commercial buildings are doors designed to provide effective entry and exit, security, fire escape, access control and other individual features. At the same time, these doors must have a low threshold, assist the disabled and not be difficult to use. These can also be automated, either fully or on demand. For light-commercial contracts such as developments of care homes, dwellings or small schools, it is possible to use rebated doors such as those used in dwellings, but typically enhanced with heavier duty profiles and hardware.
