Internal
Armoured Doors

The exposure changes, and so do the materials. An internal door is designed for the entrance to a flat in a block, where it gets no direct rain, sun or temperature swings: it has panels with more decorative finishes, suited to interiors. An external door is built to withstand water, UV rays, wind and temperature swings, and is designed for detached houses and independent homes. The burglar resistance class, though, is the same: both reach RC4 class.

RC3 class is the starting choice: it protects against crowbars, screwdrivers and picks, the tools most common in break-ins in blocks of flats. RC4 class also withstands power tools and prolonged attempts, and costs only a little more for far greater value: that’s why many people choose it even for a flat. For ground floors, raised floors, easily accessed top-floor flats or busy buildings it’s the natural choice. Classes 1 and 2 are unsuitable for a front door. We give you the final recommendation during the consultation, once we’ve seen the context.

Yes, and clearly so. Ariete doors reach up to 44.8 dB of certified acoustic insulation, thanks to the fire-resistant mineral-wool insulation, the double perimeter seal and the double steel sheet. In plain terms: the lift setting off at 6am, the footsteps upstairs and the voices on the landing stay outside. And what happens inside your home stays inside.

Yes. As well as entrance doors, Ariete makes Unica, the sliding armoured door for interiors: it protects the bedroom, the study or the room where you keep your valuables, and disappears into the wall when open. You’ll find it above among the four models, or on the page dedicated to the sliding armoured door.

Yes. Our in-house joinery reproduces communal panels to measure, matching existing designs, colours and finishes. Even historic panels such as “Vecchia Milano” or “Vecchia Genova”, or designs created for a single building, can be reproduced exactly. On the inside you’re free to choose whatever style you prefer.

Yes. We can make a “mock double-leaf” door: it keeps the look of a double leaf, but technically it’s a single-block door, sturdier and more secure. When the size of the opening allows, it’s the ideal solution for a clean, striking entrance. If you prefer two real leaves, we make them in RC3 or RC4 class.

It starts at around €2,900 and reaches around €5,000 for models with electronic components. The variables that move the price: burglar resistance class (RC3 or RC4), sizes (standard or non-standard), chosen accessories and external panel (plain or made to measure). We give you the quote straight away during the consultation, based on your measurements: the site survey before production confirms it.

Yes. The purchase and installation can qualify for Italy’s Security Bonus or other tax deductions aimed at protecting the home. The door must be certified burglar-resistant and installed by an authorised firm, with traceable payment and an invoice in your name. The deduction goes up to 50% of the cost, recoverable over ten years. In the case of a renovation it can also fall under Italy’s Bonus Casa or the Ecobonus, if it improves energy efficiency. We’ll help you with the correct paperwork.

Yes, and it’s one of the most requested replacements. The installation is done within the day and in most cases we keep the dimensions of the existing opening, with no building work. The new door improves three things at once: security, acoustic insulation and thermal sealing. The external panel can be matched to respect the building’s look; the inside you personalise however you like.
