How much does an aluminium loft door cost?
Every door is made to measure, so the price depends on the project. The main factors are size, opening type (hinged, sliding, pivot, bi-fold), glass (clear, fluted, satin, bronze), colour, handle and lock, and installation. We prepare an exact quote free of charge from your dimensions, a sketch or a photo.
How long does production take?
Finished products: 6–10 weeks from receipt of the signed drawing and the 50% advance. System orders (profiles and hardware for fabricators): 2–4 weeks after payment.
How can I pay?
By bank transfer. Everything is made to order: for finished products, production starts after a 50% advance and the balance is due before handover. System orders are paid in full when ordered.
Why aluminium instead of steel?
Aluminium never rusts, is much lighter than steel and suits bathrooms, wine cellars and humid rooms. Welding heat distorts steel profiles, so steel loft doors are rarely perfectly straight and let sound through. Our aluminium profiles stay straight and dimensionally accurate. Aluminium can also be anodised, steel cannot: black anodising resembles a black PVD coating, and the texture of the metal stays visible and tangible.
How good is the sound insulation?
Tested in an accredited laboratory (Rw): Modulusz 50 hinged door 31–40 dB, sliding door 30–40 dB, Modulusz 50 Fix glass wall 31–41 dB, Secreto flush door 30–40 dB, Twin 61 double glass wall 38–45 dB. Our hinged door exceeds 39 dB with a profile depth of only 50 mm. For comparison, a steel loft door typically reaches 15–25 dB and a standard interior door 20–30 dB.
Which colours are available?
Standard: black anodised or mill finish. Any RAL colour is possible, powder-coated by a Qualicoat-certified coater.
Can I order custom sizes or curved doors?
Yes, every piece is made to measure, from standard sizes to XXL. Bent profiles for arched openings: fixed glazing from R350 mm, doors from R450 mm.
What hardware do you use?
Even our basic models come with FSB handles, WSS, BEVER and Häfele locks, and design hinges developed with Dr. Hahn. Custom-made handles are available.
What is a flush concealed door?
A door that closes flush with the wall and takes the same finish as the wall (paint, wallpaper, wood, stone). This is our Secreto system; frame and leaf are aluminium, so it also works in humid rooms.
Do you install?
Yes, in Austria and Hungary with our own or partner installers. In other countries, local partners handle installation.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes. Our systems have been installed across Europe and overseas, with local sales and installation partners.
Where can I see the doors?
In our showroom in Neusiedl am See (Austria) or at our headquarters, by appointment.
Are the products CE-marked?
Yes: the Modulusz 50 hinged door, sliding door, fixed glazing and the Twin frame carry CE marking.
Is there planning data for architects and fabricators?
All systems are available in LogiKal (Forterro). After registration you get CAD details, sections and data sheets; fabricators receive training.
