Commercial & Domestic Aluminium Double Glazing
Aluminium is now very well established for commercial double glazing – shop fronts, foyers and entrance doors. It is now also a popular choice for domestic windows and doors. There are a number of reasons why aluminium doors are increasing in popularity.
Aluminium doors have very good thermal properties and are tough, secure, resilient and weather resistant. Aluminium door frames have high structural strength, which enables it to be incorporated into unusual door and entrance designs.
In terms of security, aluminium doors really come into their own during winter. In freezing conditions, some UPVC doors can become quite brittle and have been known to be a target for attack. Aluminium doors suffer no such weakness.
Aluminium’s greater strength enables aluminium doors and door frames to be slimmer than those used for UPVC doors. This is appreciated by designers, where aluminium’s slim line door profile allows a wider range of designs to be used. Aluminium doors tend to be more aesthetically pleasing due to their slimmer, less obtrusive design.
Also, because aluminium can be cut to produce custom shapes, aluminium doors and double glazing frames are much more versatile and can be used to create unusual, bespoke designs.
Aluminium doors and frames can use the whole range of RAL and BS colours – please see the link to the RAL chart. You can even specify dual colours, to give you contrasting colours inside and outside your home, blending with both the internal and external colour scheme for your house.
