Xinmao Metal manufactures made-to-measure stainless steel lift architraves, fixed jamb covers, entrance headers and decorative return profiles. Each component is fabricated to approved entrance drawings, with attention to opening dimensions, wall finishes, edge details and the interface with the elevator door system.
304 / 316 stainless steel with brushed, mirror, embossed, etched and PVD-coloured finishes. Custom champagne, bronze, gold, copper and dark metallic appearances are available for design coordination.
Custom side jamb covers, head panels, transom cladding, return edges and portal profiles. Rectangular, stepped and curved decorative details can be developed from approved drawings.
Made-to-measure widths, depths, wall returns and corner details coordinated with the installed entrance frame, finished wall thickness and required door clearances.
Precision cutting, bending, welding and finishing for formed metal sections. Visible joints, corner transitions, concealed fixing provisions and finish direction are developed for the selected detail.
Xinmao supports the development of custom lift entrance metalwork, from approved architectural designs to coordinated fabrication drawings and installation details.
A lift architrave is the visible fixed surround framing an elevator landing entrance. It typically includes decorative side jambs, a head section and return profiles. Stainless steel architraves can be fabricated in different widths, depths and finishes to suit the architectural design.
No. Elevator door surrounds are fixed decorative components around the entrance, while elevator door panels are the moving leaves or their attached finishes. They involve different interfaces and approval requirements. Xinmao's door surround collection focuses on fixed entrance metalwork, not complete operating door assemblies.
Yes. We fabricate custom jamb covers, entrance headers, decorative transoms and return profiles based on approved drawings. Profiles can include straight, stepped or curved details where manufacturable. Accurate opening dimensions, wall depths, corner sections and finish requirements must be confirmed before production.
Entrance dimensions should be coordinated with the elevator supplier during design development. Final fabrication dimensions should then be checked against the installed entrance frame and finished wall conditions. Each floor or opening type should be identified to account for differences between locations.
Decorative cladding may be possible where an approved fixing detail and sufficient clearance are available. The arrangement must not interfere with door movement, maintenance access, release provisions or the approved entrance assembly. The elevator contractor should review the proposal before installation.
Accurate site measurements and coordinated shop drawings are essential. Jamb depths, head profiles, wall returns and corner connections should be detailed before fabrication. Representative corner samples or trial assemblies can help verify the intended appearance. Required movement joints and installation tolerances must still be maintained.
Brushed and textured stainless steel are useful options for frequently touched entrance edges. Mirror, embossed and PVD-coloured finishes can be selected for decorative portals and feature entrances. We recommend approving a formed sample, including the corner detail and grain direction, rather than relying only on a flat colour sample.
A decorative stainless steel surround does not establish the fire rating of the complete elevator entrance. Fire resistance and other required performance depend on the tested and approved entrance assembly. Any decorative modification must be reviewed against the applicable project requirements by the responsible elevator provider and approving parties.
Please provide entrance drawings, opening and frame dimensions, wall depths, jamb and header sections, finish references, floor count and quantities. For existing buildings, include site photographs and verified dimensions. The requested scope should clearly distinguish decorative surrounds from moving door panels and installation works.
