Internal steel doors have become one of the most sought-after home improvements in the UK. With their slim sightlines, industrial styling and ability to let natural light flow through your home, they’re a popular choice for renovations, extensions and modern upgrades.
But the big question homeowners ask is:
How much are internal steel doors?
At Manchester Window Factory, prices typically start from:
- £2,000 for a single internal steel door
- £4,000 for internal steel French doors
However, the final cost can vary depending on several important factors. Below, we break everything down so you know exactly what affects the price.
Average Cost of Internal Steel Doors in the UK
While prices vary between suppliers and specifications, most homeowners can expect:
Door Type | Typical Starting Price |
Single Internal Steel Door | From £2,000 |
Double / French Steel Doors | From £4,000 |
Fixed Screens with Door | From £3,000+ |
Bespoke Configurations | £5,000+ |
These prices usually include manufacturing and installation, but specifications make a significant difference.
What Affects the Price of Internal Steel Doors?
1. Size & Configuration
The larger the opening, the more material and structural reinforcement is required.
- Standard single door = lower cost
- Double / French doors = higher cost
- Full wall glazing systems = premium pricing
If your opening is non-standard, bespoke manufacturing will increase costs.
2. Bespoke vs Standard Design
Steel doors are rarely “off the shelf.” Most are made to measure.
Custom elements that affect price include:
- Number of glazing panels (grid design)
- Slimline vs standard frames
- Custom dimensions
- Overpanels or side screens
The more intricate the design, the higher the cost.
3. Glass Specification
Glass plays a major role in pricing.
Options include:
- Clear toughened safety glass (standard)
- Reeded or fluted glass
- Tinted glass
- Acoustic glass
- Fire-rated glass
Specialist glass can increase the overall price considerably.
4. Powder Coating & Colour Choice
Most internal steel doors are finished in matte black, but you can choose:
- Custom RAL colours
- Textured finishes
- Metallic finishes
Premium finishes increase manufacturing time and cost.
5. Installation Requirements
Installation complexity also affects pricing:
- Structural alterations
- Plasterwork repairs
- Floor finishing adjustments
- Removing existing doors or walls
A straightforward installation keeps costs down, while structural changes increase labour time.
Are Internal Steel Doors Worth the Investment?
Although internal steel doors cost more than timber or aluminium alternatives, they offer:
- Timeless industrial design
- Increased natural light
- Durability and strength
- Increased property value
- Slim, elegant sightlines
Many homeowners see them as a long-term investment that transforms the feel of their space.
Steel vs Aluminium Internal Doors – Price Comparison
Some homeowners consider aluminium alternatives.
While aluminium doors can be cheaper, true steel doors offer:
- Slimmer profiles
- Greater strength
- Premium feel
- Longer lifespan
If you’re looking for authentic industrial style, steel remains the premium choice.
