Special-Lite FRP and Aluminum Entrances
School and Institutional Entrances
Special-Lite entrance systems are the standard specification for K-12 school districts and university campuses requiring high-abuse tolerance. The Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) face sheets withstand heavy physical impact, including contact from backpacks and delivery carts, without denting or peeling. Unlike heavy steel doors, the aluminum internal structure remains lightweight, which reduces the opening force required for younger students to operate the door. Facilities managers frequently select these units to lower long-term maintenance costs associated with repainting and hardware fatigue.
Heavy-Duty Exterior Doors
Special-Lite manufacturers entrance systems specifically designed to withstand corrosive environments and extreme weather conditions. The doors feature a high-density urethane foam core bonded directly to the rails and stiles, creating a monolithic structure that is moisture-impervious. This construction prevents rust and delamination, which are common in hollow metal doors, making it ideal for wastewater treatment plants, coastal properties, and industrial facilities exposed to salt or chemicals. The thermal core also reduces heat transfer, improving the building envelope’s energy efficiency.
