What materials are used to manufacture steel doors, fire-rated doors, and metal doors?
1. Role of metal materials in manufacturing steel doors, fire-rated doors
In residential buildings, commercial centers, factories, hotels, offices or industrial construction projects, metal doors such as steel doors, fire-rated doors, iron doors, sliding doors, rolling doors… are widely used. Compared to wooden or plastic doors, metal doors have high durability, good load-bearing capacity, less warping and are suitable for items requiring high safety.
To manufacture these types of doors, mechanical workshops, metal fabrication units, interior and exterior construction companies often use materials such as galvanised steel, electro-galvanised steel, cold-rolled steel, steel sheet coil or steel plate. Choosing the right material will directly affect the durability, paintability, rust resistance and lifespan of the product.
2. Galvanised steel – common material in manufacturing steel doors
galvanised steel is a type of steel coated with a layer of galvanised on the outside to prevent rust. This is a very common material in manufacturing steel doors, fire-rated doors, industrial doors, factory doors.
Advantages of galvanised steel:
- Good corrosion resistance
- High durability
- Suitable for outdoor environments
- Easy fabrication, cutting, bending, stamping
- Suitable for electrostatic powder coating
In large construction projects, galvanised steel is often used to make door frames, door leaves, load-bearing structures or components requiring high durability.
3. Electro-galvanised steel – specialized material for electrostatic powder coated doors, metal interior doors
Electro-galvanised steel (commonly known as electro-galvanised steel EG, electro-galvanised steel GA, SECC, EG) is a type of steel galvanised by electrolysis, creating a very smooth and uniform surface. This type of steel is very suitable for products requiring electrostatic powder coating or P.V.D.F. coating.
Common applications:
- Fabrication of fire-rated steel doors
- Fabrication of electrostatic powder coated iron doors
- Metal railings
- Steel stairs
- Metal facades
- Light boxes, signboards
- Metal furniture
Thanks to its beautiful surface and good paint adhesion, electro-galvanised steel is chosen by many mechanical companies, metal interior and exterior construction companies, Korean and Japanese FDI companies.
4. Cold-rolled steel – important material in metal door fabrication
Cold-rolled steel (CR steel) is a type of steel with a flat surface, high precision, often used in products requiring good aesthetics.
In metal door manufacturing, cold-rolled steel is often used for:
- Making door leaves
- Making door frames
- Making fabrication details
- Making cladding panels
- Making metal interior components
Cold-rolled steel can be galvanised or electro-galvanised to increase rust resistance.
5. Steel sheet coil and steel plate – materials widely used in mechanical workshops
Many units fabricating doors, railings, facades, metal furniture often use steel sheet coil or steel plate because they are easy to fabricate, easy to cut to size and cost-effective.
Steel sheet coil and steel plate are often used for:
- Cutting to specification
- Bending and stamping
- Making door skins
- Making frames
- Making metal boxes
- Making decorative details
Choosing the correct thickness, correct type of galvanised and correct specification helps speed up the production process and reduce material waste.
6. Notes when choosing materials for manufacturing steel doors and fire-rated doors
When choosing materials, mechanical workshops and contractors need to pay attention to:
- Choose the right type of steel suitable for the usage environment
- Choose the correct thickness according to the design
- Choose materials easy to electrostatic powder coat
- Choose materials with a beautiful surface
- Choose a supplier who can cut to order
- Choose a supplier with available stock to ensure progress
