Residential Applications

Aluminium doors are a homeowner’s dream. They’re weather-resistant, secure, and stylish, adding instant curb appeal. Whether used as sliding patio doors that connect to the garden, folding units that open an entertainment space, or strong front entrances, they enhance both aesthetics and value. 

Commercial Applications

Businesses choose aluminium doors for their strength, security, and modern appearance. Shopfronts with large glass panels create an inviting space for customers, while offices and hospitality venues benefit from doors that balance durability with professional design. In retail environments, aluminium doors can be paired with features such as tinted or frosted glass by a glazing or glass-treatment specialist, making them adaptable to different branding or privacy requirements.

Why Choose Aluminium Doors

When choosing new doors, it’s important to balance practicality with style. Aluminium doors offer the best of both worlds, combining strength, low maintenance, and a modern look in one long-lasting solution. Whether you’re upgrading a home, fitting out an office, or designing a new build, aluminium doors provide advantages that go far beyond first impressions.

Durability & Longevity

Aluminium is naturally resistant to rust, moisture, and weathering, giving you decades of performance without degradation. In coastal regions, where wood often warps or steel corrodes, aluminium stands strong. Many installations last 30+ years with minimal upkeep.

Low Maintenance

Forget about sanding, varnishing, or repainting. Aluminium doors generally need little more than a quick wipe down to look as good as new. Over a 10-year period, homeowners save hundreds and thousands on upkeep compared to wooden doors.

Energy Efficiency & Security

Modern aluminium doors often include thermal breaks and can be paired with double glazing for improved insulation. This helps keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter, reducing electricity bills. Aluminium’s strength also means added protection against intruders, especially when paired with toughened glass.

Modern Aesthetic Appeal

Slimline frames and large glass panels enhance natural light, giving any property a sleek, modern feel. With multiple finishes and colours available, aluminium doors adapt to both contemporary and traditional architectural styles.
