Aligned Mullions at Amada Scandinavia
With our fully customised doors, customers can design them almost exactly as they want. This was the guiding principle for RO-Gruppen when their client, Ante Fastigheter, and tenant, Amada Scandinavia, requested a door with mullions aligned perfectly with the large glass façade installed on their showroom building. Amada Scandinavia is a global leader in the manufacturing of sheet metal processing machines and associated technical solutions.
The glass façade is an impressive 7.4 x 15 meters, adding the finishing touch to the newly extended and renovated office and warehouse facility. In addition to the door, EAB also supplied the steel frame for the project.
“For Amada Scandinavia, we created a door that truly showcases the versatility of our door manufacturing. It’s six-sectioned and impressively large: seven meters wide and nearly six meters high. The entire section of the façade where the door is installed is a 115 m² glass unit. The challenge was to align the door’s mullions precisely with those of the glass panel”, explains Niklas Videll, Sales and Project Manager at EAB Doors.
To ensure the door blended seamlessly with the façade, the profiles were coated in the same NCS colour as the glass unit. Large glazed doors might seem delicate, but they often have the opposite effect – drivers of forklifts or other vehicles tend to be more cautious around them.
“We also installed double-tempered glass in the two bottom rows. In the unlikely event of an accident, the risk of injury is minimal because double-tempered glass doesn’t shatter in the same way as regular glass,” says Niklas.
Throughout the project, EAB and RO-Gruppen worked closely together.
“We are very satisfied with the delivery on this project. It had a fast start, and it’s fantastic to have a hall and door supplier within the same company. For this part of the building, there was a real effort to achieve an extraordinary end result – and it worked! The combination of the glass unit and the door turned out brilliantly, thanks to great dedication in planning and production”, says Mikael Henningsson, Construction Engineer at RO-Gruppen.
