Aluminium: The popular choice for modern doors
Aluminium is one of the most durable and robust materials available making it ideal for front doors that see extensive use day in and day out. Therefore, homeowners will want a material that can retain its look and integrity with heavy use over an extended period of time, which is where aluminium really stands out from other materials.
Aluminium doors can provide:
It is no surprise that you will often see aluminium used for doors in commercial and retail buildings. So, why not take advantage of the extensive benefits of an aluminium door for your home?
The most secure material for your property
Aside from longevity, one of the main advantages to having an aluminium front door for your home is security. Aluminium doors are naturally strong and stable and because they have innate design integrity they are very secure and will resist forced entry far better than uPVC, fibreglass composite, or wooden doors. At UK Doors Online we use the finest Brisant Sweet Door furniture range and Ultion locks to provide a high quality of engineered safety for your home that will give you complete peace of mind.
A potential break in is not the only thing your front door needs to be able to protect against, there also its ability to stand up to harsh weather. We’re not known for the best weather in the UK, so the doors on your home need to be able to withstand whatever gets thrown at it, and aluminium is the material that can do that best. Its strength and durability mean you’ll never have to worry about bad weather adversely affecting the comfort and warmth in your home, or the structural integrity of the door itself.
Effectively reducing your energy bills
Draughty doors can mean both the cold getting in and the heat escaping, along with the extra money you’re spending on heating. You can leave that in the past when you invest in an aluminium front door from UK Doors Online.
Aluminium as a metal conducts heat which makes it ideal for insulation, but you may be thinking what about the glass? With our range of aluminium front doors for your homes there are options for double glazing or even triple glazing, which can stop the heat from escaping, and no gap or opportunity for a draughts to expose.
Our construction elements always meet the highest security standards, are environmentally friendly, achieve excellent U-values – the better-insulated a structure is, the lower the U–value will be – thanks to insulated profiles and sealed glazing.
Aesthetic appeal and maintenance
Front doors are the focal point of your home and naturally you want any visitors to get a positive first impression. Aluminium entrance doors can be built in a wide range of shapes and sizes to suit any type of property. The aluminium surfaces are anodised to prevent corrosion and the need for regular upkeep to keep it looking like new.
Sleek aluminium aesthetics guarantee a modern style, and additional features like knockers, handles, and decorative glazing can add the finishing touches. All our extra options are available in a variety of materials, styles, and finishes to get the look you want for your front door.
Modern automated paint processes allow you to select from a variety of internal and external colour combinations and the result achieved by uniting aluminium with modern paints is so durable that you can be assured that your door will look good for over 20 years, without any significant loss of hue. Composite, uPVC, and most timber doors should not be produced in dark colours like anthracite grey or black as they will distort badly. By contrast this is highly unlikely with well-designed and constructed aluminium front doors.
In terms of maintenance for your aluminium door it is practically non-existent. Occasional cleaning may be required but beyond that very little is required to keep your front door in tip top condition.
