Addressing Common Concerns
We understand your questions about aluminium doors. Here are the facts.
“Are aluminium doors energy efficient?”
Modern aluminium doors feature advanced thermal break technology that eliminates conductivity issues. Combined with double or triple glazing, they achieve excellent U-values and can actually outperform many other materials in energy efficiency.
“Will I get condensation?”
Properly installed aluminium doors with thermal breaks and quality glazing significantly reduce condensation risk. We also ensure proper ventilation and sealing techniques to minimize moisture issues in your home.
“Are they worth the extra cost?”
While initial costs are higher, aluminium doors last 40+ years with minimal maintenance. When calculated over their lifespan, they’re often more cost-effective than cheaper alternatives that require frequent replacement or upkeep.
“What about scratches and dents?”
Premium powder-coated finishes are highly resistant to scratches and everyday wear. While any material can be damaged, aluminium’s durability makes it more resistant to impact damage than wood or uPVC alternatives.
Aluminium Doors FAQs
How much do aluminium doors cost compared to uPVC?
Aluminium doors typically cost 30-50% more than uPVC initially, but last twice as long with virtually no maintenance costs. Most homeowners find the long-term value outweighs the initial investment.
Do aluminium doors really help with energy bills?
Yes. Modern thermal break technology prevents heat transfer, and when combined with quality double glazing, aluminium doors can reduce heat loss by up to 60% compared to older door types.
Can aluminium doors be painted different colours later?
While the factory powder-coat finish is permanent, aluminium doors can be professionally repainted if needed. However, with proper care, the original finish typically lasts 20-30 years without fading.
Are aluminium doors suitable for coastal areas?
Absolutely. Marine-grade aluminium with appropriate coatings is highly resistant to salt air corrosion and is actually preferred in many coastal applications for its durability.
How long does installation take?
Most standard aluminium door installations are completed in 1-2 days. Complex configurations or structural modifications may take longer, but we’ll provide a clear timeline during your survey.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive 10-year insurance-backed guarantee covering frames, hardware, installation, and performance. Many manufacturers provide additional 15-25 year guarantees on the aluminium itself.
Are aluminium doors secure enough for my home?
Aluminium doors are among the most secure available. The strength of aluminium combined with multi-point locking systems and high-security hardware makes them extremely resistant to forced entry.
Do aluminium doors require special maintenance?
Very little. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water, occasional lubrication of moving parts, and annual inspection of seals are all that’s needed to keep your doors perfect for decades.
Can I match aluminium doors to my existing windows?
Yes. We can colour-match to existing aluminium windows or coordinate with other materials. Any RAL colour is available, ensuring perfect harmony with your home’s existing design.
