MB-86N Pivot Door: A statement in modern architecture
The MB-86N Pivot Door stands as an external architectural feature, notable for its impressive size and unconventional design. Its off-center rotation axis lends it a distinctive appearance, while the concealed hinges ensure robust load-bearing capabilities. Such structures are favored by architects, particularly for projects emphasizing large-scale dimensions and innovative design elements. Pivot doors are ideal for creating a striking entrance, serving as a focal point of a building’s façade.
Distinctive design and functionality
The MB-86N Pivot Door is a groundbreaking external architectural feature, renowned for its:
- Impressive Size: Its large-scale dimensions make it a centerpiece of modern architectural projects.
- Off-Center Rotation Axis: The unconventional pivot mechanism creates a unique aesthetic appeal.
- Concealed Hinges: These ensure a seamless appearance while providing robust load-bearing support.
Ideal for bold architectural statements
Architects favor the MB-86N Pivot Door for its ability to:
- Serve as a striking entrance that becomes the focal point of a building’s façade.
- Enhance projects emphasizing large dimensions and innovative designs.
System features:
- large-scale leaves measuring up to 2 m wide and 3.4 m high
- off-center pivot
- leaves or glazed insulating units up to 60 mm thick
- concealed bearing hinges with a load capacity of up to 500 kg
- three thermal construction variants, the ST, the SI, and the SI+
- locked by means of alternating strips on the leaf and frame
- the bottom is sealed using a drop seal
- the low, 20 mm threshold can be fully built in, obtaining a ‘zero threshold’ effect with the possibility of draining water to the outside
- linear drainage can be installed
- quick and efficient leaf installation and uninstallation
- the solution is based on MB-86N system profiles
- the Pivot threshold can be used as a ‘zero threshold’ with the regular MB-86N system door solutions
Advanced features and performance
The MB-86N Pivot Door sets itself apart from traditional door systems like sliding, bifold, or profiled doors by incorporating:
1. Thermal and acoustic insulation
- Maintains indoor comfort by reducing heat loss and minimizing external noise intrusion.
- Contributes to the building’s energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
2. Air- and watertightness
- Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.
- Ensures long-lasting durability and performance.
3. Customizable locking mechanism
- Options for one-latch or two-latch configurations provide enhanced security and user convenience.
Application in modern architecture
The MB-86N Pivot Door is ideal for projects that demand:
- Innovative design elements to complement modern architecture.
- A functional yet aesthetic solution for large openings.
- Doors that act as both practical barriers and works of art.
By blending cutting-edge technology with refined design, the MB-86N Pivot Door stands as a testament to the evolving possibilities in architectural innovation.
