Specification Notes from Current Manufacturer Supply Pathways

  • Entrance-focused aluminium routes include single and double-door options, with open-in and open-out pathways selected around access and layout.
  • Representative frame depth pathways include 58mm and 70mm for entrance systems, with deeper twin and triple-track routes used for larger sliding configurations.
  • Typical glazing thickness pathways run from around 24mm up to 40mm depending on system selection and performance target.
  • Double-glazed routes commonly target around 1.4 W/m2K, while selected triple-glazed pathways can reach around 1.0 to 1.1 W/m2K.
  • PAS 24, Document Q and Secured by Design aligned upgrade pathways are available where project briefs call for enhanced security standards.
  • Low-threshold and accessibility-led options are available on selected pathways, with final recommendations confirmed during survey and technical sign-off.

Final project performance depends on opening size, glazing build-up, threshold details and installation quality.

Security and Compliance Priorities

Security planning starts with robust day-to-day hardware, then extends to enhanced compliance routes where project requirements call for tested upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to common planning, specification and installation questions before you commit.

Are aluminium doors suitable for both modern and traditional homes?

Yes. Aluminium systems include contemporary slimline formats and heritage-style pathways, so the final look can be matched to both newer and period-sensitive properties.

What aluminium door formats are available?

Typical pathways include single and double entrance doors, French doors, bi-fold systems and sliding patio or lift-and-slide routes. We help you match the right format to your opening and daily use.

Can aluminium doors be energy efficient?

Yes. Thermally broken frame construction and the right glazing build-up can deliver strong thermal outcomes, with typical compliant routes around 1.4 W/m2K and lower values available on selected upgrades.

Do aluminium doors support enhanced security standards?

Yes. Multi-point locking is standard on many pathways, with PAS 24, Document Q and Secured by Design aligned upgrades available where your project brief requires them.

Can I choose low-threshold aluminium door options?

Yes. Low-threshold options are available on selected systems. We review access priorities, weather exposure and floor-level detail during survey before final recommendation.

Do I need planning permission to replace a door with aluminium?

Most like-for-like replacements are permitted development, but listed properties and conservation areas may need additional approval. We can help you review this before installation.
