Aluminium doors solve the same problem as aluminium windows: maximum glass area, minimum frame, contemporary lines, multi-decade service life. They're the architectural specifier's default for front doors, patio sliders and bifolds.
Aluminium doors fail in the same predictable ways aluminium windows do - when corners are cut on thermal break, gasket grade and powder coat quality.
Non-thermally-broken aluminium runs at outdoor temperature internally, causing constant condensation and cold draughts.
Budget sliding patio systems use stamped rollers that pit and seize. Quality systems use stainless-steel ball-bearing rollers rated for 100,000+ cycles.
Sub-grade powder coat fades and chalks visibly within a decade on south-facing elevations.
Large glass panes in aluminium frames generate significant solar heat gain - sealed units need to be specified for thermal cycling.
Measure the opening, photograph the elevation, discuss panel configuration, RAL colour, threshold detail and glass specification.
You receive: profile, finish, glass spec, hardware, threshold, fitting and waste - itemised in writing.
5–7 weeks for standard aluminium doors, 6–8 weeks for Origin or Smart Systems premium ranges.
Single doors fit in 4–6 hours, patio sliders in a single day, bifolds in 1–2 days depending on panel count.
Cycle-test every panel, verify threshold drainage, register the 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, walkthrough complete.
Maximum glass, minimum frame - the view stays clean.
Powder-coated to any RAL, dual colour available, anodised bronze and champagne options.
Aluminium frames outlast UPVC and composite on long-term durability.
Thermally-broken aluminium with quality sealed units delivers A-rated WERs and U-values from 1.2 W/m²K.
Multi-point locking, anti-lift hardware and laminated glass options as standard.
Crisp powder-coat finish, sharp 90-degree corners, large pane sizes - the right look for contemporary properties.
Aluminium doors break down into four very different products: entrance, patio sliders, bifolds and pivots. Each has its own specification logic.
Single or double-leaf aluminium entrance doors with multi-point locking, anti-snap 3-star cylinders and reinforced steel cores. Available with sidelight panels and over-panels for grand entrances. Smart Designer Door and Origin OD-44 are our default ranges.
Smart Visoslide and Aluk Sliders run on stainless-steel ball-bearing rollers, with single-panel weights up to 250kg per leaf. Two, three and four-panel configurations available, with single or double sliding panes. Threshold options from level-access to standard rebated.
Origin OB-49 and Smart Visofold 1000 for ultra-slim aluminium bifolds in 2–8 panel configurations. Maximum width 6m. See our dedicated bifold service page for full detail.
Single-pivot grand entrance doors in widths up to 1.5m, with concealed pivot hardware and PAS 24 security multi-point locking. Specified for designer entrances on contemporary properties.
Residential aluminium doors prioritise aesthetics and PAS 24 security. Commercial installs (shop fronts, restaurant entrances) prioritise traffic durability, automatic closers, panic exit hardware and finger-trap-rated profiles. We fit both - survey identifies which spec is appropriate.
If a question's missing, ring us - five minutes on the phone beats a brochure every time.
