Why Choose CDF Distributors' Commercial Metal Door Slabs?

In the world of construction and architecture, the choice of materials is paramount. It's not just about aesthetics; it's about durability, security, and safety. When it comes to doors, commercial spaces demand reliability, and that's where CDF Distributors steps in with their exceptional range of Commercial Metal Door Slabs. In this blog, we'll explore the remarkable features and benefits of these door slabs, shedding light on why they are the ideal choice for both interior and exterior applications.

Quality Made in the USA

The flush hollow metal doors are proudly made in the USA using high-quality 18-gauge A40 galvaneal steel. This ensures that you're investing in a product that's built to last. Galvaneal steel is a zinc-coated material that provides superior corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for exterior doors that need to withstand the elements.

Versatility Meets Customization

These metal door slabs come in various widths and heights, catering to diverse project requirements. Whether you're working on a commercial office space, a retail store, or an industrial facility, you'll find a door that fits perfectly.

Moreover, these doors offer a choice of core materials. The standard insulated core is polystyrene, also known as Styrofoam, which provides excellent thermal insulation. But if your project demands something different, you can opt for polyurethane or honeycomb cores to meet specific requirements, whether it's fire rating, thermal characteristics, or sound transmission.

Strength and Durability

These doors come with an array of features designed to enhance their strength and longevity:

  • Interlocking Edge Seam: This design feature ensures a secure fit and added protection against environmental factors.
  • Hinge and Lock Edge: The square hinge and beveled lock edge guarantee a smooth and secure operation.
  • Prime Painted: The doors are prime painted, ready to be customized with your choice of finish or paint.
  • Up to 3-hour fire rating: CDF Distributors' doors meet the highest fire rating standards, making them an ideal choice for spaces where safety is a top priority.
  • Heavy Gauge Closer Reinforcement: These doors are built to accommodate a closer for added security.
  • Inverted Top and Bottom Caps: The 16-gauge inverted caps offer structural reinforcement and additional protection.
  • Hinge Reinforcements: The 10-gauge minimum hinge reinforcements ensure the doors can handle frequent use and heavy traffic.
