Make the entrance part of the architecture.
A large-format aluminium entrance system designed for contemporary homes where proportion, scale and first impression matter as much as performance.
Bigger proportions change the whole entrance.
Pivot doors allow a larger entrance leaf to rotate around an offset pivot point rather than relying on conventional side hinges. That changes the proportions, movement and visual weight of the entrance.
Larger door proportions
Taller and wider entrance leaves create a stronger relationship between the door and the overall elevation.
Distinctive opening movement
The leaf rotates around its pivot point rather than opening from a conventional side hinge.
Panelled or glazed
Choose a more solid architectural entrance or introduce glazing where daylight and visibility matter.
Build out the entrance
Combine the main entrance leaf with an adjacent side section where the facade needs a broader entrance composition.
Door width, height, surrounding glazing, facade material, handle position and approach to the building all affect how a pivot entrance feels when it is seen and used.
A pivot entrance affects more than the door opening.
Larger door leaves, different pivot geometry and the relationship with the surrounding facade mean the entrance is best considered before the opening and finishes are fully fixed.
Opening & structure
The overall opening, supporting construction and final entrance proportions need to work together from the beginning.
Floor & threshold
Finished floor levels should be considered alongside the entrance so the transition is intentional rather than resolved afterwards.
Access & operation
Handle position, locking, everyday access and the way the leaf moves into the entrance space all need to be resolved together.
Facade & lighting
Wall finish, surrounding glazing and entrance lighting can all change how the door reads when approaching the building.
Resolving these points early gives the entrance a better relationship with the building and avoids compromising proportions or detailing later.
Large format. Properly engineered.
The Millenium Plus Pivot system combines substantial entrance proportions with thermally broken aluminium construction and tested weather performance.
Thermal performance varies with the final configuration.
Tested resistance to uncontrolled air movement.
Tested resistance to water penetration.
Structural performance for substantial external openings.
Engineered around the scale of the entrance.
The system uses substantial aluminium sections and panel construction to accommodate large-format pivot leaves.
Where Pivot makes sense.
Best where the entrance forms part of the architectural composition.
Particularly relevant when the whole facade and entrance are being redesigned.
Useful where conventional entrance proportions would feel undersized.
Suited to homes where arrival, scale and material detail are intentionally prominent.
