PIU Design doors. Time for aluminum
Doors are an extremely important element of architecture and interior design, which significantly influences our first impression of an apartment or house. Thanks to the development of technology, revolutionary changes have occurred in this field. New are doors based on an aluminum structure not only of the frame but also of the door leaf. Aluminum gives architects a wide range of possibilities for creating space, and at the same time fits perfectly into the fashion for large glazing and high doors.
Aluminum in the hands of designers of the door manufacturer PIU Design led to the creation of the proprietary Aluminum Design technology, in which not only the door frame but also the door leaf structure is made of this metal. This is the first solution of this type on the Polish market that allows you to fully enjoy the aesthetic and functional values of aluminum. It is worth taking a look at the benefits resulting from this technology in relation to current trends in interior design.
Trend I. Fashion for high doors
In line with current architectural trends, impressive glazing and high doors are becoming more and more popular in construction. Very often, the entire wall of the apartment is a large window, and the door leaf reaches the ceiling and the upper beam of the door frame is invisible. To make this effective solution possible, the stabilization of high wings (up to 300 cm) is necessary, which can be perfectly guaranteed by a light aluminum structure (its weight is much lower than that of a wooden structure). PIU Design was the first company on the Polish market to offer door frames made of aluminum, which are now becoming a standard. Doors without architraves and visible door frames seem lighter, hidden in the wall, and modern. Door leaves finished with various materials are an elegant complement to the space, and aluminum door finishing elements perfectly match designer furniture, which is also often finished with aluminum elements.
Trend II. Modern design
PIU Design door solutions are distinguished by high quality workmanship, elegant appearance and modern design. An example is the exclusive PIU ALU door finished with Laminam quartz sinter, whose style is consistent with the contemporary trend of minimalism. PIU Design's proprietary patent is the technology of aluminum door leaf construction, which allows the door to be safely covered with materials such as quartz sinter, architectural concrete, Lacobel glass and hundreds of other claddings. The use of the same materials to finish walls and doors makes the latter fit harmoniously into the arrangement of the space, emphasizing the simplicity and elegance of the design. An additional aesthetic advantage offered by PIU Design is the ability to choose different versions of aluminum - natural anode, brushed stainless steel, brushed black, brushed brown, RAL varnish. Therefore, aluminum elements fit into the atmosphere of modernist houses, lofts or modern apartments.
Trend III. Arrangement diversity and functional versatility
Choosing aluminum doors guarantees greater freedom of arrangement than in the case of wooden doors. Aluminum allows the use of various finishing materials, the same ones that we use to decorate walls. Each door leaf is made to suit a specific project. Unlike wood, aluminum doors do not require maintenance or special care, and cleaning is extremely simple. The aluminum construction is light, durable and scratch-resistant. The all-aluminum PIU Design product can be successfully described as a 21st century door that is friendly to intelligent buildings and adapted to access control systems. This makes it a very flexible solution not only in residential construction, but also in public buildings. From an ecological point of view, it is worth noting that a small amount of energy is used to produce aluminum, and the raw material itself is 100% recycled. Aluminum processing is simple and safe for the environment. PIU Design's proprietary aluminum-based technology allows the use of materials in doors that provide higher acoustic parameters. This is especially important in large, open spaces. In combination with modern materials, aluminum structures also allow for high fire resistance.
Facilities for architects
The PIU Design brand provided professional substantive and technical support for architects cooperating with it. When choosing doors from the PIU ALU line, they can count on a wide range of finishing colors and additional equipment. In addition, an additional convenience for architects are CAD libraries and technical drawings, which can be downloaded in the "For Architects" tab on the website www.piudesign.pl . The PIU Design door system has ITB Technical Approval AT-15-8578/2011, fire resistance in the EI30 class for selected models, hinge certificates and patent claims.
