Energy Efficiency and Insulation

uPVC hinged doors are designed with advanced insulation, including double or triple glazing filled with argon gas, to deliver top-tier energy efficiency. This high level of insulation helps keep Australian homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter, which is ideal for energy-conscious households and Passive House standards. By reducing the need for heating and cooling, uPVC hinged doors can significantly lower energy bills and contribute to a sustainable, eco-friendly home.

For homeowners in busy urban areas or near high-traffic streets, uPVC hinged doors offer excellent soundproofing. The dense uPVC material and airtight seals work together to block out unwanted noise, creating a quiet and peaceful indoor environment.

FAQ

What is a hinged door?

A hinged door is a type of door attached to a frame by hinges, allowing it to open and close along a pivot point on one side. This traditional design makes hinged doors ideal for a range of entryways, from front doors to back or side entrances.
 

What is the difference between a swing door and a hinged door?

Swing doors and hinged doors are similar, as both open along a pivot point. However, swing doors typically refer to doors that can open in both directions, while hinged doors generally open in only one direction, either inward or outward.
 

What is the difference between a pivot door and a hinged door?

A pivot door rotates on a central pivot point rather than traditional side hinges, allowing it to open from the middle of the door frame. This design is often used for larger doors, while hinged doors are attached to the frame with side hinges, making them more suitable for standard entryways.
 

Are hinged doors cheaper than sliding doors?

Hinged doors are generally more cost-effective than sliding doors, particularly in terms of installation and maintenance. Their simpler mechanism also means fewer repairs are typically needed over time, making them a budget-friendly choice.
 

What are the advantages of a hinged door?

Hinged doors are versatile, easy to install, and offer excellent security with multi-point locking options. They provide good insulation and noise reduction, and are available in various styles and finishes, allowing for customisation to suit any home.
 

Can you replace a sliding door with a hinged door?

Yes, a sliding door can usually be replaced with a hinged door, though some adjustments to the frame may be required. Hinged doors can be a great replacement option, offering a more traditional look and enhanced security.
