Doors & Windows

Details

Curtain-wall and cladding enquiries combine the specified façade framing, infill panels and connection accessories into clearly defined supply packages. Product types can include aluminium mullion-and-transom systems, double-glazed units, metal composite panels and solid-metal cladding. Panel dimensions, glazing build-up, frame finish, support arrangement and movement allowances should follow the façade drawings. Thermal, weather and fire requirements depend on the complete assembly, including insulation, cavity details and fixings; panel descriptions alone are insufficient. Provide elevations, section details, panel schedules and performance requirements so that profiles, gaskets, pressure plates, cover caps, brackets and sealing materials can be matched to the selected system.

Details

Door assembly enquiries can cover aluminium and glazed doors, timber doors, steel doors and electrically operated rolling shutters for the specified opening. Selection should identify clear opening dimensions, handing, frame construction, leaf finish, glazing requirements and expected operating frequency. Where fire, acoustic, weather or security performance is required, the complete doorset and compatible hardware must be specified together. Rolling shutters additionally require curtain type, headroom, motor supply and control arrangement. Provide the door schedule and opening details so that leaves, frames, thresholds, seals and operator accessories can be quoted accurately, with any project-required performance documentation identified before procurement.

Details

Door hardware completes the operation, security and everyday usability of the specified door assembly. Enquiries can include hinges, locks, cylinders, lever handles, pull handles, door closers, floor springs and emergency exit devices. Product selection should account for leaf weight and width, handing, traffic level, lock function and the required finish. Hardware for fire-resisting or escape-route doors must remain compatible with the approved doorset and applicable project requirements. Provide the door-by-door ironmongery schedule, master-key requirements and existing hardware references where replacements are needed. Stops, protection plates, flush bolts and sealing accessories can be included to complete each coordinated hardware set.

Details

Architectural metalwork enquiries can include security grilles, balustrades, handrails and compatible fabricated or modular components for the project drawings. Mild-steel grilles may be specified by opening dimensions, bar arrangement, fixing method and protective finish, while stainless-steel balustrades require the appropriate material grade and surface finish for the exposure. Posts, infill panels, handrail brackets and base connections must suit the design loads and supporting construction. Provide elevations, fabrication details, finish references and required documentation. Modular fittings, end caps, cover plates and fasteners can be included, with critical dimensions and connection details confirmed before any made-to-size supply is agreed.

Details

Partition enquiries can cover aluminium-framed glass systems, solid-panel assemblies and washroom cubicles suited to the room layout and privacy requirements. Glass thickness, frame profile, door arrangement and acoustic expectations should be defined for glazed partitions. Toilet cubicles require suitable panel materials, edge details and hardware for the intended moisture and cleaning conditions. Product packages can include tracks, posts, glazing beads, gaskets, door fittings and cubicle support legs. Provide plans, elevations, finished heights, colour selections and accessibility requirements. Where fire or acoustic performance is specified, the complete tested assembly should be identified rather than combining unrelated components on appearance alone.

Details

Timber frames and trims provide the supporting and finishing elements around doors, windows and interior joinery. Enquiries can include door frames, linings, stops, architraves, skirting, glazing beads and threshold pieces in the specified timber or engineered material. Profile dimensions, timber species, moisture condition and surface finish should be identified alongside the adjoining door or wall construction. Exterior and interior applications may require different material and protection choices. Provide opening sizes, section drawings, lengths and finish requirements; frames intended for performance-rated doors must be matched to the relevant doorset details rather than selected as generic joinery components.

Details

Window and glazing enquiries can cover aluminium-framed units, fixed lights, opening windows and glass products selected for the building envelope or interior application. Clear, toughened, laminated and insulating glazing units serve different requirements; glass thickness and make-up should follow the approved schedule. Opening type, frame finish, hardware, weather seals and drainage details influence the complete window specification. Thermal, solar-control, acoustic and safety requirements should be stated explicitly rather than inferred from double glazing alone. Provide opening dimensions, elevations and glass references so that frames, glazing, handles, hinges, gaskets and compatible fixing accessories can be quoted as coordinated assemblies.
