Overview

Large Panel Sizes

The GPD80 pivot door supports impressive panel sizes up to 2.1m wide x 3.0m high, creating a bold architectural entrance with fewer sightlines, seamless scale and effortless pivot movement. Engineered for strength, stability and smooth long-term performance.

High Thermal Efficiency

Engineered for modern performance, the GPD80 pivot door achieves U-values from 0.77 W/m²K triple glazed, helping to reduce heat loss, improve energy efficiency and maintain comfortable interior temperatures all year round.

Flexible Configurations

Designed for versatility, the GPD80 pivot door is available with low threshold options, open-in or open-out operation, and a range of sub-cill sizes to suit different floor levels, drainage requirements and installation conditions.

Precision Engineered Performance

The GPD80 pivot door is developed with a strong focus on engineering, combining structural strength, balanced pivot geometry and high-quality hardware to support large-format panels with smooth, controlled movement.

Configurations

The GPD80 pivot door is available in a range of configurations to suit different entrance designs, including pivot door with single sidelight, double sidelights, or offset sidelight layouts. These options allow flexible design, balanced proportions and seamless integration with both symmetrical and asymmetrical architectural openings.

Engineered Aluminium Profile

The GPD80 pivot door is built around a robust 80mm thermally broken aluminium profile, designed to deliver structural strength, thermal efficiency and long-term stability. The multi-chamber construction improves insulation while maintaining the rigidity required for large-format pivot panels.

Seamless Threshold

The GPD80 pivot door features a flush threshold for clean floor integration between internal and external finishes, supporting barrier-free access and uninterrupted spatial flow. An integrated concealed drainage system manages water effectively while maintaining a minimal architectural detail and reliable weather performance.

FAQs
What is a pivot door and how does it work?

A pivot door rotates on concealed top and bottom pivot hinges rather than traditional side hinges. This allows the door to support larger, heavier panels while delivering smooth, balanced movement and a clean architectural appearance.

What sizes are available for the GPD80 pivot door?

The GPD80 is engineered for large-format entrances and can accommodate panel sizes up to 2.1m wide x 3.0m high, depending on configuration and specification. This enables bold, statement entrances with minimal visual interruption.

Does the GPD80 pivot door offer good thermal and weather performance?

Yes. The system features a thermally broken aluminium profile, high-performance sealing and integrated drainage within the threshold. This helps achieve U-values from 0.77 W/m²K while maintaining reliable weather resistance and long-term performance.
