Why Choose Aluminum Entry Door

Aluminum doors have several advantages over wood, composite or UPVC doors, many of which are important when deciding on the material for the front door.

Aluminum doors can meet the needs of most property renovation projects, so here are some of the best reasons to use aluminum for your front, side, or back door.

Why aluminum doors are best for small and large sizes

One of the great reasons to choose aluminum doors is their flexibility in size. Any door material will work well in standard sized openings, but aluminum is best outside of standard sizes.

Want wider and taller doors? Aluminium door leaves are typically up to 1.2m wide, with many models up to 2.4m and some higher. This is well above the size capability of UPVC and composite doors, which are usually around a meter including the frame. Therefore, aluminum doors do not require side or top panels, whereas UPVC and composite doors often require holes of a specific size. So if you want more doors and a less visible frame, aluminum is best for small or large sizes.

Aluminium doors offer more glass and cleaner lines

Only steel doors are thinner than aluminum doors. The door also has a thinner sash profile, which means a larger glass size. Larger glass size means more light and an overall better looking door. Compared to UPVC doors, the profiles are significantly smaller and less bulky.

You can opt for thinner double or french doors, opt for steel doors, or even doors made from slender bi-fold profiles but made into double-hinged doors.

Aluminium doors therefore offer many different solutions for style, thin lines and maximum glazing, with a better sense of light and space.

Aluminum doors allow for more discrete or invisible hardware

Thin aluminum also means smaller, more discreet door hardware, such as hinges, without losing security or other essential functions. There are even aluminum doors designed with invisible door hinges for a cleaner look.

The combination of aluminum doors and windows is better

If you already have aluminum windows in your home, or have porches, screens, or other glass features that require doors and windows, aluminum doors are all designed to combine and integrate with the windows. This means you don't need composite or UPVC doors that look different than windows. Modern aluminium window and door systems are designed to join together as needed to create a unified and matching screen.

This is not the case with composite doors, which are completely different products from different manufacturers. If you already have aluminum windows installed, you can match their slim lines perfectly with the aluminum doors that were designed to fit them from the start. With some systems, you can even have side and rear doors that match the folding doors.

Aluminum doors have more color options

Powder coating is the most advanced and durable way to spray aluminum profiles. Not only do you get more than 200 color options, but you go further by adding textures, metals, and even different colors inside and out. You can even use aluminum wood effect doors.

Another significant advantage of aluminum is that it easily matches other or existing aluminum colors. Even if the RAL colour references are the same, it is difficult to use UPVC doors with foil! Better color matching is easier to achieve with powder-coated aluminum doors and windows.

Aluminum doors are more flexible

The nature of aluminium used for doors means greater flexibility. You don't have to choose a standard product. Conversely, a good manufacturer can create unique and unique door arrangements.

Larger sizes, more profiles and colour make aluminium doors the best choice for front, single or double doors (with or without fixed panels).
