When the gate becomes part of the façade…

Panelled doors aren’t just a nice-to-have. They’re an integral part of the architecture.

Particularly in the case of complex commercial and industrial buildings, it is not simply a matter of closing off openings, but of creating a cohesively designed building envelope without any visual breaks. This is precisely where cladding-integrated, flush-with-the-facade door solutions really come into their own.

The door surface is clad with the same material as the façade, or a material that matches it. This creates a calm, cohesive appearance in which the door is not perceived as a technical element. The grid pattern, joint layout and surface finishes are retained.

ALPGATE entwickelt dafür projektbezogene Lösungen. Unterschiedliche Materialien wie Fassadenbleche, Streckmetall, Cortenstahl, Holz oder Aluminium-Lamellen lassen sich charmant integrieren.

The focus is not only on design aspects, but also on structural engineering. Panelled doors involve additional loads, moving parts and constant stress. A sturdy substructure, precise guides and robust surfaces are essential for this.

When it comes to planning, therefore, the earlier the door is taken into account, the better. This is the only way to ensure that joints, connections and material thicknesses are properly resolved, rather than having to make compromises later on.

We support you right from the planning stage – with drawings, technical advice and practical solutions.
