HMMA Product Uses
Why Hollow Metal?
Hollow metal door and frame products have earned an impeccable reputation with architects, design professionals, engineers and construction trade professionals around the world. HMMA products offer a wealth of benefits unmatched by competitors. When specifying door and frame systems for your next project, consider the benefits you will enjoy with HMMA products:
Durability
Hollow metal products are durable and rugged. They resist environmental stresses, such as heat an humidity, that adversely impact other door and frame products. HMMA products exhibit no problems in the field such as warping and delaminating. Hollow metal products are easy to maintain and ensure virtually trouble-free operation for years.
Security
Hollow metal door and frame products offer ideal solutions in settings that demand a high degree of security, including courthouses, detention centers and prisons. The use of bullet, fire, explosive and tamper proof hollow metal products that meet and exceed HMMA's proven technical standards will ensure a long-term, secure environment. These same hollow metal products can be used effectively in less demanding, but no less important, settings which require a strong measure of security, including school entrances, retail stores, warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
Broad Range of Applications & Design Freedom
The applications in which hollow metal door and frame products are appropriate are virtually limitless. From apartment buildings, dormitories, military barraks, hotels and schools, to hospitals, industrial and office buildings, airports, convention centers, hollow metal products meet and exceed expectations. More remarkable is the degree of design freedom hollow metal construction affords architects, especially in atypical situations where a standard-sized product is inappropriate. With the proprietary construction techniques and capabilities of hollow metal, design professionals have the opportunity to innovate and create virtually any solution within a reasonable cost envelope.
Aesthetic Appeal
New design technologies pioneered by HMMA members allow for the creation of easthetically pleasing hollow metal doors that have the look and feel of wood, yet perform better than wood through time. Highly specialized stainless steel and brass-clad doors offer additional design choices and represent some of the most attractive products available.
