Steel Doors and Frames: Bad and Beautiful!

Commercial doors and frames, and specifically steel doors and frames, have long been specified solely for the jobs they do – for resilience, for sound attenuation, for thermal and energy efficiency – but rarely for the way they look. In fact, it’s fair to say that steel doors and frames may frequently be an aesthetic compromise. But they don’t have to be.

CECO DOOR and CURRIES offer steel doors with high-definition and wood grain embossed face panels, with applied moldings, and with sleek, or decorative profile steel frames that you’d swear are wood.

In the July 2020 issue of Door Security + Safety magazine, ASSA ABLOY’s Kenny Webb, Director of Integrated Solutions and Marketing Communications, explores steel door and frame solutions that are functionally and aesthetically appropriate for hotels, hospitals, schools and universities, office buildings, multi-family housing, and virtually any commercial or institutional environment.
