Frequently Asked Questions
Below, you’ll find a list of frequently asked questions. If you need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Do your doors comply with Australian Standards?
Yes, Aust Doors Co products are manufactured in accordance with AS1288 and AS2047.
What materials do you use to manufacture your doors?
Aust Doors Co products are fabricated out of 6-gauge solid aluminium sections, making our doors extremely strong and durable.
Our aluminium sections are ‘LocAl Green’ aluminium – a reduced carbon aluminium. LocAL aluminium has the same technical properties as regular aluminium, only it has the benefit of reduced carbon emmisions produced during the smelting and casting stage of production.
What is LocAl and why do we use it?
LocAl Green is a lower-carbon aluminium extruded in Australia. LocAl Green has a certified Co2 content of 8kg per 1kg of aluminium compared to the global average for aluminium produced using traditional energy sources, which is 12.46kg Co2e per 1kg of aluminium. This reduction in Co2e is a step in the right direction towards reducing our carbon footprint and reducing our impact on the environment and climate.
