Tubular frame doors

Spatial experiences made of glass and metal

Fire protection requirements are best met when the structural designs intended for this purpose also have a certain level of design. And so we know that architects and building owners, particularly in commercial construction, want broad-based programmes in which the individual elements are coordinated in design.

Profile frame constructions and tubular frame doors from Novoferm create spatial experiences made of glass and metal. Available in either aluminium or steel, their generous glass surfaces create the transparent structures that are particularly popular in interiors. This gives contemporary architecture a very special touch. From Novoferm. Take a look for yourself!

WHY TUBULAR FRAME DOORS FROM NOVOFERM?

Fire protection

Novoferm offers four-sided profile frame constructions in aluminium, stainless steel or steel with a transparent glass panel. Novoferm tubular frame doors are approved by the building authorities and are available in fire protection classes T30 (EI 30) and T90 (EI 90). The doors are available for internal and external use.

Smoke protection

Smoke protection systems with Novoferm doors provide effective protection against dangerous smoke. Our tubular frame doors are tested as smoke protection doors in accordance with DIN 18095 using an automatically lowerable floor seal. Even at high temperatures and the associated stress on the door elements, Novoferm doors remain tight. Even in the standard version, Novoferm smoke protection doors are always supplied with overhead door closers, special sealing systems including a lowerable smoke-tight floor seal (RS1) or, on request, a hump threshold (RS2).

Security

Regardless of whether you need to protect sensitive data, securely store medication or secure access via the underground car park - Novoferm profile frame systems prove to be a secure, functional and attractive option in all cases. With burglar resistance to RC 2 and RC 3, our tubular frame doors and wall systems effectively put a stop to uninvited guests, demonstrating that security and large areas of glazing go very well together

Design

Tubular frame doors stand for large glass surfaces and transparent fire protection. They can be combined with side panels and fanlights. The profile views are always the same, regardless of which fire resistance class they fulfil. Open room design is also offered by all-glass walls and fire-resistant glazing in G30, F30 or F90 versions as translucent window elements.

Sound insulation

Not all rooms are the same, and not all doors are the same - which is why DIN 4109 regulates the requirements for sound insulation depending on the external noise level and room utilisation. With Novoferm sound insulation equipment, all elements of the door system (door leaf, frame and high-quality seals) are specially matched to each other. Our soundproof doors, for example, have been proven to reduce noise pollution in buildings with just one lowerable threshold-free floor seal.

Environmental protection

The use of standardised fittings for our tubular frame doors saves resources, optimises cost-effectiveness and guarantees security based on many years of experience with the relevant technology. Our doors can be easily retrofitted with various components. This allows the system to be subsequently adapted to changing requirements. A complete replacement is not necessary.

Montage

In addition to many other installation advantages, Novoferm fire protection foam can be used to back-fill profiles and frames in metal and drywall construction much more quickly and cleanly. The usual previous knowledge for the installation of fire doors is completely sufficient.

Selection of tubular frame doors and elements

Choose your tubular frame door:

Aluminium systems for doors & walls, can be combined as fire protection (up to EI2 90), smoke protection, security (up to RC 3) and multi-purpose doors.

Steel systems for doors and walls, can be combined as fire protection (up to EI2 90), smoke protection, security (up to RC 3) and multi-purpose doors.

All-glass systems, design-orientated partition wall system with fire protection class (EI2 30) for maximum light transmission and transparency from room to room.
