Aluminum Honeycomb Door panels
Door panels made from aluminium honeycomb composite panels combine low weight, high rigidity and dimensional stability. They are suitable for doors, including those with heavy surface finishes, and ensure excellent flatness and high bending resistance. The structure can incorporate perimeter inserts and dedicated reinforcements, sized according to the selected hardware and the project specifications.

DIMENSIONS
Full-height doors, floor-to-ceiling
Dimensions:
X = width, up to 1400 mm
Y = height, up to 4000 mm
Z = thickness, from 20 to 100 mm
CONFIGURATIONS
The panels are available in two configurations:
- full-height door
- door with a masonry transom above
In both versions, dedicated solid inserts are integrated, sized and positioned to suit the specific hardware that will be fastened.

Door panels to be lacquered
Lacquered door panels made with aluminum honeycomb composite panels provide perfectly flat surfaces, high stiffness and dimensional stability. They are ideal for large-format doors with high-quality lacquered finishes.
ALUXAPPA-H panel edged in lacquered ABS
Which configuration should you choose?
ALUXAPP, with its aluminium surface, is ideal when the use of wood-based substrates needs to be limited or for environments with higher humidity levels.
ALUXAPP-H provides a surface that is easier to lacquer for standard indoor environments. When an HDF layer of suitable thickness is used, it also allows custom-designed engravings and decorative machining.
Veneered door panels
Veneered door panels made with aluminum honeycomb composite panels combine the natural beauty of wood with lightweight construction, high stiffness and dimensional stability. They are ideal for large-format doors requiring perfectly flat surfaces and high-quality finishes.
Boiserie with lacquered ALUXAPP panels
Which configuration should you choose?
ALUXAPP-E, with the wood veneer applied directly to the aluminium, is recommended when a reduced overall thickness and minimal use of wood-based layers are required.
ALUXAPP-H and ALUXAPP-T use an HDF and a particleboard substrate respectively, providing more traditional surfaces for bonding the veneer.
The choice depends on several factors, including the dimensions and whether the veneer sheets are natural or reconstituted.
HPL laminate panels
HPL-clad door panels combine the durability and practicality of high-pressure laminate with the advantages of aluminum honeycomb composite panels. They are ideal for large-format doors requiring perfectly flat surfaces, high stiffness, dimensional stability and excellent wear resistance.
Which configuration should you choose?
ALUXAPP-HPL can be clad with HPL laminate on both faces or on one face only. In the latter case, the opposite face can be finished with painted metal sheet or wood veneer, depending on the project’s aesthetic and technical requirements.
Ceramic-clad door panels
Doors clad with 3 mm ceramic slabs combine surface durability, material quality and visual continuity. The cladding can extend seamlessly from the wall onto the door leaf, integrating the door into the architecture and creating coordinated, visually uniform surfaces.
Why choose ALUXAPP with a ceramic finish
Large-format ceramic slabs, even when only 3 mm thick, add significant weight and require a rigid, flat and dimensionally stable substrate. The aluminium honeycomb structure of ALUXAPP keeps the overall weight of the door leaf down and limits bending and deformation during use, reducing the stresses that could cause the ceramic finish to crack or break.
Hardware Integration
The panel is designed and machined to accommodate the hardware required for the application. Fastening positions and machining operations are defined according to the selected mechanism and the anticipated loads.
Metric Threaded Inserts
Metric threaded inserts are anchored to aluminum skins through a mechanical deformation system of the insert itself. This screwing system is particularly strong and reversible, because the screws can be screwed and unscrewed multiple times
Wardrobe Door Hardware
The panel can be engineered to accommodate hinges, sliding-door carriages and track systems according to the opening type, door size and weight. Fastening positions and machining operations are defined to ensure accurate installation, stability and long-term reliability.
