Construction and Materials
dormakaba offers a range of solutions within the Walls & Finishes and Doors - Interior categories. These products are designed to enhance spaces through their functional and aesthetic properties.
Acoustical Fabric Panels
dormakaba's Acoustical Fabric Panels are engineered to manage sound within interior environments. These panels are constructed to absorb and diffuse sound waves, thereby reducing reverberation and improving speech intelligibility. The core of the panels is typically made from acoustically absorptive materials, such as mineral wool or fiberglass, chosen for their sound-deadening capabilities. These cores are then encapsulated in a protective fabric facing. A wide selection of fabric colors, textures, and patterns is usually available to coordinate with various interior design schemes. The panels can be installed in multiple configurations, including wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, and suspended applications, to optimize acoustic performance and visual integration.
Moveable Walls
The Moveable Walls systems from dormakaba provide flexible space division solutions. These systems allow for the reconfiguration of large open areas into smaller, more private zones as needed. The construction typically involves individual panels that are suspended from an overhead track system. Each panel is often a rigid frame structure, commonly made from aluminum or steel, to ensure durability and stability. The infill for these panels can vary widely, including:
- Acoustical infill for sound insulation.
- Glass panels for visual transparency and light transmission.
- Solid panels with various finishes, such as laminates, veneers, or fabrics, to match interior aesthetics.
The track system allows for smooth operation and secure locking of the panels into their desired positions. Seals, such as brush seals or neoprene gaskets, are incorporated along the edges of the panels and at the track interfaces to enhance acoustic performance and prevent air leakage.
Glass Walls
dormakaba's Glass Walls are designed to create open, light-filled spaces while maintaining a sense of separation. These systems utilize tempered or laminated glass panels for safety and security. The glass is typically supported by minimal framing systems, often made of aluminum or stainless steel, to maximize the visual continuity. Options for glass finishes can include clear, frosted, tinted, or patterned glass. The installation can involve point-supported systems or channel-supported systems, depending on the desired aesthetic and structural requirements. Hardware for these glass walls, such as hinges, door closers, and locking mechanisms, are usually made from high-quality metals like stainless steel, brass, or aluminum, designed for both functionality and durability.
Interior Doors - Specialty and Glass Panel
Within the Interior Doors category, dormakaba offers specialty and glass panel options. Specialty doors may encompass a range of designs tailored for specific applications, potentially including enhanced security, fire ratings, or unique aesthetic features. Glass Panel Doors typically feature a frame, commonly constructed from aluminum, wood, or steel, which holds one or more glass inserts. The glass can be clear, frosted, patterned, or etched, and is usually tempered for safety. The framing provides structural integrity and allows for the integration of hardware such as hinges, knobs, and locking mechanisms. These doors are designed to facilitate the passage between interior spaces while contributing to the overall design of the environment.
