Aluminium Front Doors

The cost of aluminium front doors varies depending on size, design, glazing options, and colour finish. As a premium product, bespoke aluminium entrance doors typically range from £2,000 to £5,000+ including installation. While this is more than composite or uPVC alternatives, aluminium doors offer superior longevity, security, and thermal performance, providing excellent long-term value.

Aluminium entrance doors offer several advantages over composite alternatives. They feature slimmer frames allowing more glass and natural light, superior resistance to warping in temperature changes, typically longer lifespan (40+ years vs 25-30 years), and are available in larger sizes. Composite doors may offer a lower entry price point, but aluminium doors are generally considered the premium choice for homeowners seeking the best quality, design flexibility, and long-term durability.

Our secure aluminium doors are exceptionally safe. All our aluminium front doors feature PAS24:2012/16 certified multi-point locking systems and are Secured by Design approved by the UK Police. Aluminium's inherent strength means frames won't bend or flex under force, and toughened or laminated glass options add further protection. These security credentials make aluminium external doors an excellent choice for front and back entrances.

Yes, modern energy efficient aluminium doors feature advanced thermal break technology that prevents heat transfer through the frame. Our double glazed aluminium front doors achieve excellent U-values, with some models reaching below 1.0 W/m²K. Combined with argon-filled sealed units and Low-E coatings, our thermally efficient aluminium doors can significantly reduce heat loss compared to older doors, helping lower your energy bills.

We offer 67 colour options across four collections: Elements (18 matt RAL colours), Homestead (14 traditional colours), Spectrum (21 metallic textures), and Urbane (14 bold metallic finishes). Popular choices include anthracite grey, jet black, and white, but our bespoke aluminium doors can be finished in virtually any RAL colour. Dual-colour options are also available, allowing different colours inside and out.

Aluminium entrance doors typically last 40-50 years or more with minimal maintenance. Unlike timber which can rot or warp, and uPVC which can discolour and become brittle, aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion, weathering, and UV degradation. The powder-coated finish on our low maintenance aluminium doors won't peel, fade, or require repainting, making them an excellent long-term investment.

Low maintenance aluminium doors require very little upkeep. Simply wipe the frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent every few months to remove dirt and maintain the finish. Clean the glass with standard glass cleaner and occasionally lubricate hinges and locks with a silicone-based spray. Unlike wooden doors, aluminium residential doors never need sanding, painting, or sealing.

Yes, our aluminium front doors with side panels create a stunning entrance feature. Side panels (sidelights) can be fitted on one or both sides of the door, and you can also add glazed top panels (fanlights). These aluminium front doors with sidelights maximise natural light in your hallway whilst creating an impressive architectural statement. Side panels can be glazed or solid to match your privacy requirements.

PAS24 is the British Standard for enhanced security performance of doorsets. It involves rigorous testing including cylinder attacks, manual attacks, and forced entry attempts. Our aluminium front doors UK wide are PAS24:2012/16 certified, meaning they meet Part Q building regulations for security. This certification, combined with Secured by Design approval, confirms our secure aluminium doors provide police-recognised levels of protection.

Our aluminium door installation process begins with a detailed survey to ensure accurate measurements. On installation day, our FENSA-registered fitters carefully remove your old door, prepare the opening if necessary, and fit your new aluminium entrance door. The frame is secured, sealed against weather, and the door adjusted for perfect operation. A typical single door installation takes 3-4 hours, with aluminium double entrance doors taking slightly longer.
