Engineering
Single leaf and unequal double leafThe range draws a single-leaf fire door for classrooms and wards, and an unequal double leaf where a wider opening has to keep a narrow active leaf.
B1 flame-retardant leaf with a honeycomb coreA B1 flame-retardant board over a honeycomb core keeps the leaf flat across a school door and light enough for a self-closer.
Vision panels where they helpPart of the range is drawn with a vision panel, so staff can see into a classroom or a patient room before they open the door.
Accredited fire certificationCompliance is listed to AS 1905.1:2015, AS 1530.4:2014, EN 1634-1:2014+A1:2018 and CAN/ULCS104 with UL listing and the Intertek, CE, BS, IAS, FSC and HKAS marks.
What US projects require
Glazing rules tighten in the high-velocity hurricane zones: the code requires impact-rated glazing and defined structural performance on the exterior envelope, and most spec writers work from the ASTM and Florida building code framework as the reference point. In practice the glazing build-up, the frame section and the hardware have to be stated on the quotation, line by line, against your zone and wind-borne debris category.
Adam Alux does not hold US test certifications. The bridge is the specification process: send the zone, the debris category and the opening schedule, and the glazing build-up, frame section and hardware layout come back confirmed against that project at quotation, with a finished test unit available before production.
Shipping to US ports
Modules ship in export-standard containers sized around the opening: glazed units travel upright with corner and edge protection for the trans-Pacific line. The loading plan, including modules per container for your mix, comes with the quotation, because it depends on frame depth and glass build-up rather than a fixed table.
Freight and port handling are confirmed per shipment, and transit time is quoted at order. Packing list and conformity documentation travel with the container.
