Passive Doors
Passive doors are an advanced technological solution gaining popularity in modern architecture, especially for energy-efficient home designs. These doors are specifically crafted to minimize heat loss and maximize a building’s energy efficiency. At ADEZO, we offer passive doors that meet the highest standards of energy conservation—ideal for those looking to reduce heating and cooling costs.
What are Passive Doors?
Passive doors are integral to passive building construction, focusing on reducing energy consumption by minimizing heat loss. These doors are significantly thicker than standard models, incorporating multiple insulation layers. They are also designed with superior airtightness, using multiple seals and specialized locking and hinge systems to prevent thermal bridging and air infiltration, ensuring exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation. Passive doors are perfect for homes aiming to achieve passive standards, where the main objective is to cut heating and cooling needs by up to 90% compared to standard buildings. Consequently, passive doors dramatically reduce energy usage, resulting in lower utility bills.
Passive Door Installation
Installing passive doors requires precision to maximize their insulating properties. They must fit perfectly in the frame, with all gaps eliminated to prevent thermal bridging. We offer comprehensive installation services, ensuring your doors meet their full potential for years to come.
