The Key Benefits of Installing Aluminium Doors

Why Choose Aluminium Doors

If you’re considering aluminium doors for your home, you’re probably aware they are a low-maintenance and highly durable choice. However, these are not the only reasons that make aluminium doors a great option within the home.

High Durability Door

Aluminium doors can endure harsh conditions and has a high resistance to corrosion and discolouration. Unlike timber, their surface will not rust and are perfect for high-wind, coastal or rural living. They are perfect for high-traffic entry doors as they can withstand wear and tear.

Offering an Aesthetic Appeal

Aluminium doors come in a range of subtle colours and can easily match the existing colours of the home. They are highly suitable for contemporary and ultra-modern homes. Depending on the chosen design, they can offer a sleek, slimline look, a modern French door design or a timber look to match traditional homes.

Aluminium Doors are Energy Efficiency

Many timber doors allow draughts to enter the home and heat or cool air to escape through gaps and cracks, forcing your heating and cooling systems to work harder. Aluminium doors come with effective and efficient door seals. These block draughts and weather from entering the home, maintaining optimal comfort.

These seals, combined with laminated glass panels, help to increase thermal performance and help reduce the home’s energy consumption.

Low-Maintenance

With a powder-coat finish in a range of colours and finishes, Aluminium doors require little to no maintenance. Unlike other materials, they will not swell, crack, split or warp over time, ensuring a long-lasting life. These doors require cleaning once or twice a year, making them the perfect choice for a robust, low-maintenance solution.

Aluminium is a Cheaper Alternative to Timber

Sanding, painting and staining timber doors require time and money. If not regularly maintained, they may warp, split, swell and need replacing. Aluminium entrance doors offer value for money when it comes to long-term solutions. They are available for a similar price to timber entrance doors, however, without the possible maintenance issues.

Security to the Home

When combined with secure door hardware, they provide uncompromising security for the home. Durable and robust, aluminium doors are a fail-safe option that will not rust, warp or distort. As a result, they do not have weak points that can lead to forced entry into the home. They are also a fire-resistant material, making it a safer choice than timber.
