Table notes
Costs are for installation of doors only, ancillary work such as electrical supplies and preparation of surround not included. Through life costs include replacement, annual servicing, minor repairs, and recoating of the finish.
Steel doors: Steel to BS EN 10326 = 0.4 mm thick, all galvanized to Z 275 g/m2 minimum. Aluminium to BE EN 485 = 0.6 mm thick. Sectional steel doors twin skinned, insulated, minimum 40 mm thick.
Expected service lives are 20 years for all doors and relate to 20,000 operational cycles with two opening and closing cycles a day on average.
A discount rate of 3.5% is used to calculate net present values. Door types are not directly comparable as sizes vary. A cost analysis based on project specific information is essential for a realistic best value appraisal.
