Bespoke Aluminium Doors

When you’re looking to enhance your property with heightened security and energy efficiency, aluminium bifold doors are the perfect choice. Engineered with minimal hardware and large, uninterrupted panes of glass, they add natural light and a modern touch to any home.

Aluminium is naturally weather-resistant, offering robust protection against the British climate. This prevents heat from being escaping your home, saving you money on your energy bills during the winter.

Durability

Unlike other types of metals that can crack, rust or discolour, aluminium is extremely durable and will not warp or flex. This durability gives your doors and windows a long lifespan, making them a one-time investment that will not require frequent repair.

Some of the best aluminium front doors use the ‘panel in’ design with their door sash, which eliminates the visible step from the inside to the outside and also allows for bigger glass panels. Brands such as Dutemann, Sunflex, Kloeber, Hormann and Spitfire all offer this style of front door. The result is a sleeker and more refined look than the standard ‘glaze-in’ design. They also provide better energy efficiency. This means lower heating and cooling costs in your home. This is due to less heat loss.

Security

Pound for pound, aluminium is much stronger than timber or steel. This means that it can be used to create front doors that are both lightweight and strong. The strength of aluminium also allows it to be fabricated with deep welds or no welds at all, which helps to strengthen the overall structure of the door.

This inherent strength is what makes Bespoke Aluminium Doors more secure than uPVC and other door styles. They are able to resist brute force attempts to break into your home and offer a tough physical barrier between the outside world and your loved ones inside your home.

They can also be fitted with a range of high security locking mechanisms that help to make your home even more secure. This includes multi-point locking systems, shootbolt locks and more to ensure that your family is safe and sound at all times.

Energy Efficiency

Modern aluminium windows and doors achieve incredible energy efficiency with their advanced thermal insulation and double glazing options. This can significantly reduce heating bills and enhance comfort in a home, commercial property or office building.

The robust, weather-resistant aluminium frames are treated with a high-grade coating that repels moisture and dirt to ensure long-lasting performance. The coating is also hygienic and easy to clean, eliminating the need for regular maintenance.

Our bespoke aluminium bifold doors and windows are precision engineered to protect against the varied British climate. They feature internal beading and multi-point locking systems, making it extremely difficult to break in without the help of force. This also helps to protect children and pets from unwelcome intruders.

Design Versatility

One of the best things about aluminium doors is that they offer a huge amount of versatility when it comes to design. This means that they can be used to complement both traditional and modern homes.

You can choose to have them framed in a range of materials for added style, or opt for minimalist designs with very thin profiles. There are countless colour options too, so you can find the right shade to compliment your home.

You can also add some extra flair by having a pattern or design etched into the glass panels. This can really give your home a distinctive look that’s sure to turn heads. Aluminium doors require less maintenance than other types, too. All they need is to be wiped down occasionally with a mild cleaning product.

Maintenance

Compared to wooden doors, aluminium windows and doors need less maintenance. That’s because they are designed to last, withstand the elements and look stylish in any weather.

Nevertheless, it’s always worth taking the time to keep your aluminium door clean and lubricated to prevent problems in the future. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

Wash the frames with plenty of clean water to remove any build-up or dirt. Then, using a soft sponge, gently scrub the surfaces and any joints and crevices. Avoid abrasive pads, as these can damage the aluminium surface.

If your frame has an anodised finish, any stubborn marks can be removed by using an ink rubber or eraser. Alternatively, you can use touch-up paint if the mark is deeper.
