Frequently Asked Questions

What type of applications are suitable for brass clad doors and doors frames? Any opening that requires an elegant appearance can be supplied with a brass clad door or door frame. Common applications include entrances to hotels, apartment buildings, or office complexes. These units can be insulated and prepared for standard builders hardware.

Are brass clad units able to be fire rated? Brass clad units cannot be fire rated due to the low kindling temperature of brass. However you may wish to consider Ambico's fire rated, colored stainless steel products (see "Stainless Steel") available in brass color or bronze color stainless steel in both bright and satin finishes.

Are other types of decorative metals able to be clad over Ambico doors? In addition to brass, we have expertise in applying bronze or copper to our doors and door frames.
