Architectural / Die-cast aluminum
Balanced aesthetics and durability for design-forward interiors. Better heat performance than plastic, more refined than utilitarian steel.
Thermoplastic
The value choice for most interiors. Lightweight, easy to mount, broad availability. Ideal where abuse is low and budgets matter.
Steel
Max toughness for high-abuse and industrial spaces; pairs well with guards. Heavier and more utilitarian look by design.
Which should I choose?
- Premium interiors: architectural / die-cast
- Most standard corridors: thermoplastic
- Warehouses / high-abuse: steel
