Stylish Design and Aesthetics
One of the advantages of our range of aluminium entrance doors is their versatility.
Aluminium is more flexible than timber or uPVC and can be used to create doors to fit just about any space. Whether you need them to be smaller and narrower or taller and wider than standard doors, we’ve got you covered.
We will work with you to design the right door to fit seamlessly into your space. You choose the size, the configuration, the number of glass panels (if any) and the style.
Glazing options include obscure glass, for privacy, acoustic glass for ambient noise reduction, and self-cleaning glass to make maintenance a doddle in busy areas.
Although aluminium is considered a contemporary material, our aluminium slimline heritage-style doors make an equally stunning addition to a period property.
Our extensive range includes Scandi-style, Art Deco, and many more aesthetics.
Further put your stamp on the door with your choice of colour and finish, plus an extensive range of premium hardware. Our sustainable aluminium can be finished and powder coated in any RAL colour, with colour stability guaranteed.
Your front door is one of the first aspects of your house a potential buyer will encounter. Our sleek and stunning aluminium doors offer excellent curb appeal.
Enhanced Security and Durability

Add in reinforced frames, weather sealing and multi-point locking systems, and you’ve got an almost impenetrable barrier to your home.
If you choose glass panels in your aluminium entrance door, you can ensure it says secure using toughened laminated glass.

Aluminium door benefits also include weather-resistant and they require very little maintenance.

An aluminium front door is also an eco-friendly choice. Not only is aluminium a sustainable and recyclable material, but it is also energy efficient.
Historically, aluminium’s thermal conducting properties made it unsuitable for an energy-efficient door. However, modern designs incorporate a ‘thermal break’ an extra layer of insulation between
