Different types of custom gates:
Swing gates
The swing gate and its traditional aesthetics consist of two leaves that open inward or outward. Thanks to a simple mechanism that does not necessarily require motorization, the swing gate allows easy access to pedestrians.
Sliding gates
Modern and refined, the sliding gate adapts to exteriors where space is limited. Equipped with a leaf, these motorized gate models slide along your property on a rail installed on the ground or above.
Cantilever gates
Variant of the sliding gate, the cantilever gate and its clean appearance relies on an arm system that keeps the gate suspended. The cantilever gate is ideal for entrances where installing a rail would be impossible due to an irregular surface.
Materials for your custom gate
At Kostum, we are convinced that the choice of materials is essential to guarantee the durability and aesthetics of each gate.
Aluminum
Aluminum is a lightweight material, resistant to corrosion and requiring little maintenance, making it an ideal choice for durable and aesthetic gates. Resistant to bad weather, it retains its new appearance for many years without degrading even in the presence of humidity, which is a great advantage in maritime or rainy regions. Its plus? Aluminum is 100% recyclable, making it an ecological and modern option. Note that all our gates and aluminum products have a 30-year warranty granted subject to compliance with usage and maintenance conditions.
Wood
Natural and warm, wood brings aesthetics with timeless charm that integrates perfectly with contemporary and classic style properties. Kostum gates use exclusively Red Cedar and Accoya. Red Cedar is a type of wood that guarantees both elegance and longevity and whose natural tint is grayed over time. Accoya is characterized by its gray nuances that lighten in contact with UV rays and to display lighter nuances. These noble woods are naturally resistant to bad weather, insects and degradation and ensure exceptional durability over time.
The creation process of your custom gate
Taking precise measurements
Taking measurements, essential to guarantee the perfect adaptation of your gate, is ensured by our installer, who will ensure the precision of each dimension.
Choice of materials and design
The choice of materials and design of your gate model must be made carefully, taking into account several technical and aesthetic factors. The climatic conditions of your region play a determining role: aluminum is renowned for its resistance to corrosion and its low maintenance, it is particularly suitable for humid or saline environments, while wood, although aesthetically appreciated, requires more sustained maintenance to preserve its longevity against bad weather. The design of your gate must also be in perfect harmony with the architectural style of your property and the atmosphere you wish to give it: a contemporary aluminum gate will naturally match modern architecture, while a wooden model will bring an organic touch and a bit of authenticity. Finally, your personal preferences must be taken into account to guarantee a gate that is both functional and aesthetic. Your custom gate must above all reflect your tastes while respecting the technical constraints of your property.
The Kostum configurator is there to test your custom gate project in an infinitely customizable style.
Motorized gate
The motorization of your gate offers incomparable comfort by allowing its remote opening and closing, without effort. Different motorization systems are available, each offering a solution adapted to your needs in terms of performance and safety. Thanks to options such as remote controls, code keypads or motion detectors, you benefit from a practical and secure solution for your daily life. In addition, modern motors are equipped with integrated safety devices that guarantee risk-free use for you and your loved ones. Opting for the motorization of your gate means combining technology, comfort and serenity.
Manufacturing in our workshops
Once your custom gate is ordered, we begin a meticulous manufacturing process. The cutting of the slats is carried out with great precision to guarantee perfect adaptation to the dimensions of your opening. For aluminum gates, we apply powder coating, a powder painting technique that offers a finish resistant to UV, bad weather and rust, while allowing color customization. Wooden gates are subjected to protective treatment to preserve their durability against outdoor conditions, while maintaining natural aesthetics.
Each step from design to installation is designed to offer you a custom gate that combines performance, quality, aesthetics and durability, perfectly adapted to your environment and your requirements.
