The strength of aluminium makes it durable, and if you take care of your aluminium doors and maintain them properly, they should last far longer than standard uPVC frames. According to most architects, steel is the strongest material available on the market for the manufacture of door frames.

When property owners install uPVC doors, one of the most common complaints is the thickness of the frame. Due to the strength of aluminium, thinner frames can support the same weight as thicker ones. Slimmer frames make doors look cleaner, and they're still secure.

Using aluminium doors has become increasingly popular among designers as architecture styles continue to change and evolve. This door provides greater flexibility when paired with aluminium windows, as they can be sprayed any color and adapted to fit even the most contemporary architecture.

There are many environmental benefits associated with aluminium. It is possible to recycle Aluminium an infinite number of times, as opposed to uPVC or wood. Additionally, even though obtaining raw aluminium requires significant energy, recycling it only consumes approximately 5% of the energy needed to construct a door frame from scratch. This material is also highly durable and performs well when recycled.

Why choose aluminium doors over upvc doors?

 

While uPVC is quite sustainable during manufacturing, aluminium is far more sustainable during its lifetime. A typical lifespan for the material is 40 - 45 years and it can be recycled indefinitely without losing any quality. Perhaps aluminium is the best material if you are looking for a door that will last very long.

Due to the strength of aluminum, it is possible to include larger glass panels in your door since it can support a greater weight. We recommend choosing an aluminum door if this is the design you prefer.

Lastly, you will be delighted with your new door's aesthetic appeal. Over the last few years, aluminium has become a popular choice for people who wish to give their home a more modern and sleek appearance, particularly for those who select darker colors for their frames.

The best metal for your doors is aluminum, regardless of whether you are a contractor or a homeowner. A choice between aluminium and uPVC means choosing a more environmentally friendly and durable material for many years to come.

What are the advantages of buying aluminium doors?

 

Aluminum doors are strong and durable

Aluminium is a material with inherent strength. As a result, no heavy supporting frames are required, and a more significant amount of glass is incorporated into a single door, allowing for more light entry.

Maintenance is easy with aluminium doors

Compared to timber doors that may occasionally require refinishing, aluminium doors have an extra-tough powder coating that resists nicks and scratches and looks great for many years.

Thermally efficient aluminium doors

If you want to reduce your energy bills, you might wish to avoid aluminium doors, as metals are excellent at transmitting heat. A layer of insulating material has been incorporated into the frame of aluminium doors by manufacturers who anticipated this problem. A further advantage of these doors is that, due to their thin frames, most of their glass is double (or triple) glazed, which helps to keep the cold out.

100% of aluminium doors can be recycled

Even though homeowners don't place much emphasis on the environment, aluminium is an excellent choice. Since the material is 100% recyclable and does not degrade, your doors will not end up in a landfill when the time comes to replace them.

What are the disadvantages of aluminium doors?

 

As with all products on the market, there are some shortcomings. In this regard, aluminum is no different. In comparison to other materials, it has some disadvantages.

Staining from water is one of the disadvantages of these doors. If your building is located in a continuously wet environment, especially one that receives a great deal of rain, you can expect to find some marks on these doors.

Over time, the size and number of the marks may increase. Having these marks on your vehicle is undesirable, even though they do not rust. It would help if you therefore considered this shortcoming before making any final decisions.

The cost of these doors is also higher than others. Metal prices fluctuate a lot, and aluminium is expensive. It makes it hard to budget far in advance.

How much does an aluminium window cost?

 

A higher cost is associated with double-glazed aluminium windows than uPVC windows. Aluminium window frames are more expensive because of their visual and practical advantages. Your budget will significantly vary depending on how many windows you require and what style you choose. A top-end aluminum window can cost as much as £600, but fortunately, most will cost much less. Aluminium windows cost, on average £475 in the United Kingdom. Check out our aluminum sliding door cost guide if you consider installing doors.
