A CONSIDERED CHOICE

Aluminium entrances planned around your property

Aluminium entrance doors combine a metal frame with a door panel or glazed design. The selected system determines the available sizes, finishes, sidelights and hardware. We help you choose a front or rear entrance that suits the building and everyday use.

For a front entrance, compare aluminium with composite doors and uPVC doors. For a larger garden opening, explore bi-fold doors or sliding patio doors. Your survey resolves which arrangement suits the opening.

  • Entrance designs with panel and glazing options
  • Sidelights and hardware considered with the doorset
  • Finishes coordinated with windows and the elevation
  • Threshold and opening direction checked at survey
WHAT TO CONSIDER

A CONTEMPORARY ENTRANCE, CLEARLY SPECIFIED

01

DESIGN THE COMPLETE ENTRANCE

Consider the door panel, glazing, sidelights, handle and frame together. The design should balance daylight, privacy and the proportions of the opening.

02

PLAN HOW THE DOORS WILL OPEN

Floor levels, steps, furniture, exposure and everyday access affect the opening direction and threshold. We review these details before the final specification.

03

COMFORT AND SECURITY AS A DOORSET

Frame, glazing, locks, hinges, seals, threshold and installation should be assessed together using evidence for the proposed configuration.

DESIGN & PRACTICAL DETAIL

Details that respect the property

Colour, panel design, glazed areas and handles all affect the finished entrance. Compare samples and available options for the selected aluminium system so the door works with the room, windows and external elevation.

Surveying should resolve the threshold, reveals, sill and finishing details before manufacture, particularly where existing floor levels or older walls create constraints.

How do aluminium entrance doors compare with composite doors?

Can an aluminium door have glazing or sidelights?

Options depend on the selected system and opening. We can discuss glazed areas, privacy glass and side panels, then confirm the available design and sizes during survey and specification.
