What Is a Metal-Clad Door?
When you need a door that’s durable, non-combustible, and visually refined, metal clad doors are an excellent solution. At Radiant Enterprise, we design and manufacture metal clad doors in Sydney, tailored to meet the structural, safety, and aesthetic needs of each project.
Our metal-clad door range is ideal for both residential and commercial applications, from factories and hospitals to offices and apartment buildings. We can manufacture in stainless steel, zinc anneal, or Colorbond, to your desired metal thickness and finish.
Our Metal-Clad Door Types: RMC1 to RMC4
Radiant Enterprise manufactures four main types of metal clad doors, each suited to specific applications and performance needs:
RMC1: Non-Combustible Door (Single Face Clad)
- Construction: 0.55mm metal sheet screw-fixed to one face only.
- Fire Rating: Non-rated, but classed as non-combustible.
- Best for: Areas requiring metal protection on one side only, such as service corridors or plant rooms.
- Finish options: Stainless steel, zinc anneal, or Colorbond.
RMC2: Dual-Face Clad Door
- Construction: Metal sheets glued to both faces, supplied with loose channel surrounds for onsite installation.
- Thickness: Depends on the client’s specifications.
- Advantages: Balanced protection and rigidity on both sides.
- Ideal for: Commercial or industrial spaces where durability and uniform appearance are essential.
RMC3: Envelope-Finished Door
- Construction: Non-rated door cleated on vertical edges, folded and siliconed at the top and bottom.
- Metal Thickness: 0.7mm only.
- Manufacturing requirement: Door and frame must be ordered together, the frame is custom-made to suit the door.
- Use case: Ideal for high-precision installations or architectural finishes where seamless fit and appearance are priorities.
RMC4 – Welded Envelope Door
- Construction: Similar to RMC3 but stitched welded, ground smooth, bogged, and finished with primer for a seamless joint.
- Metal Thickness: Customisable up to 2.9mm.
- Requirement: Frame and door must be manufactured together for perfect alignment.
- Best for: Heavy-duty or high-end architectural projects needing a flawless, welded finish.
Each RMC model is manufactured locally in Sydney to ensure consistent quality, durability, and compliance with Australian standards.
What Is the Disadvantage of a Metal Door?
While metal doors are strong and secure, they can be heavier and more expensive to install than standard timber doors. However, Radiant Enterprise’s precision-built metal clad doors are designed for smooth operation and long-term performance. Our corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, zinc anneal, and Colorbond, ensure minimal maintenance and exceptional durability.
What Is the Difference Between Metal Clad and Metal Enclosed Doors?
- Metal Clad Doors: Have a solid internal core wrapped in metal sheets.
- Metal Enclosed Doors: Are made entirely of metal, often fully welded or hollow.
Metal clad doors offer the strength of metal while retaining the flexibility of a composite structure. This makes them more cost-effective and easier to customise for insulation, fire rating, or acoustic control.
Are Metal-Clad Doors Fire Rated?
Some metal clad doors can be fire rated depending on their internal core and materials. While our RMC1 – RMC4 range includes non-rated and non-combustible options, fire-rated metal clad doors can be manufactured upon request to meet specific building compliance requirements.
Our team can assist you in selecting the right configuration for your safety and performance needs.
