Sonarol Exterior Door — Aluprof MB-60E System

Sonarol Exterior Door — Aluprof MB-60E System

The Sonarol Exterior Door — Aluprof MB-60E System is an aluminum exterior door based on Sonarol’s three-chamber MB-60E profile. Both the frame and sash have a 60 mm depth, and the system accepts glazing infill from 5 to 41 mm. That glazing range gives the designer room to coordinate the door with a selected glass build while keeping the base profile system clearly identified. Sonarol presents one- and two-sash layouts as possible configurations, as well as inward- and outward-opening arrangements. Those choices affect how the entrance relates to the surrounding space: the active leaf, approach, and nearby circulation should be shown together on a plan. A single-sash layout keeps the opening centered on one moving panel, while a two-sash option introduces an additional leaf and a need to define which side is active. The precise configuration for this listing is not specified, so these are system choices to establish on the door schedule. Sonarol lists minimum section sight widths of 41.5 mm for the frame and 67 mm for the sash. These dimensions refer to different components of the door, giving a reference for the visible aluminum sections around the glazed area. Keeping MB-60E intact in the schedule distinguishes this base system reference from other codes in the broader family. Consider the visible frame and sash sections together with the glazing when coordinating the entrance elevation. Keeping sight widths separate from the 60 mm profile depth makes the front view and the section dimensions easier to compare.

Coordinate the MB-60E frame, glass, and opening

For sash planning, Sonarol publishes a maximum format of 2300 × 1300 mm and a maximum sash weight of 120 kg. These figures describe an individual sash, rather than the full frame or rough opening. The final drawing should therefore give the frame outside dimensions separately, then show the moving sash or sashes and the intended opening direction. Glazing thickness from 5 to 41 mm is a system range, not a particular glass selection; the chosen build should be recorded with the door configuration. Sonarol’s MB-60E page also lists air Class 3, water E1200, wind C1, and impact Class 3 as system reference values. These provide performance categories for discussing the profile system, while the assembled door result depends on the configuration and should be confirmed for the actual build. A practical schedule can group the system code, frame and sash depths, frame and sash sight widths, sash count, handing or opening direction, glass build, and full unit size in distinct fields. This makes the door easier to compare with the opening and adjacent facade details without treating the sash limit as an opening dimension. The figures below describe Sonarol’s base MB-60E system; confirm the selected complete-door configuration and its applicable performance.
