Metal leaf with a panic barThe metal leaf is a steel panel finished by powder coat, hung with a full-width panic bar so a crowd can clear the opening on the way out.
Steel frame with a wooden leafOne build keeps the steel frame and takes a wooden leaf, in the same laminate, HPL and veneer faces as the timber range.
Knock-down or welded frameFrames ship either flat for site assembly or welded as one piece, in the sections the catalogue draws.
Accredited fire certificationThe catalogue lists AS 1905.1:2015, AS 1530.4:2014, EN 1634-1:2014+A1:2018 and CAN/ULCS104, with UL listing and the Intertek, CE, BS, IAS, FSC and HKAS marks.
What US projects require
Glazing rules tighten in the high-velocity hurricane zones: the code requires impact-rated glazing and defined structural performance on the exterior envelope, and most spec writers work from the ASTM and Florida building code framework as the reference point. In practice the glazing build-up, the frame section and the hardware have to be stated on the quotation, line by line, against your zone and wind-borne debris category.
Adam Alux does not hold US test certifications. The bridge is the specification process: send the zone, the debris category and the opening schedule, and the glazing build-up, frame section and hardware layout come back confirmed against that project at quotation, with a finished test unit available before production.
Shipping to US ports
Modules ship in export-standard containers sized around the opening: glazed units travel upright with corner and edge protection for the trans-Pacific line. The loading plan, including modules per container for your mix, comes with the quotation, because it depends on frame depth and glass build-up rather than a fixed table.
Freight and port handling are confirmed per shipment, and transit time is quoted at order. Packing list and conformity documentation travel with the container.
