Ask An Expert Your Top 5 Questions About Aluminium Doors Answered Before You Request a Quote This November

Choosing a new entrance can prove a tad overwhelming. Weighing up thermal performance and security, style options and long-term durability, it can soon become a daunting task to make your final decision.

November is the time for home upgrades. As the colder weather sets in and dark-filled days approach, you’ll be spending a lot more time in the comfort of your home. So, you must do everything you can to better its insulation and security before winter takes over.

If you do have any reservations about upgrading your front door, we’re going to try and put your mind at ease. We’ll answer a few questions about aluminium doors that we’ve seen crop up frequently and try to simplify your decision-making in the process.

Question 1: Is aluminium a good insulator? Will my home be cold this winter?

We’ve noticed a misconception that aluminium feels cold to the touch, and therefore, it performs poorly. Simply put, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Our modern aluminium doors are built with thermal breaks and modern technology and equipped with high-performance glazing to deliver excellent thermal efficiency.

Our doors are specifically designed to keep the warmth in and the cold out. So, yes, aluminium is a fantastic insulator, and you should have no concerns about a cold home this winter with an Endurance Aluminium door.

Question 2: What are your doors’ security ratings? How does the security guarantee work?

Aluminium is naturally strong and rigid, making it one of the best options for security-conscious homeowners. Combine aluminium’s natural strength with the multi-point locking systems our doors come equipped with, and you’ll make your home a whole lot safer.

The multi-point locking systems integrate seamlessly with our ABS Master Locking Cylinders – which are anti-snap, anti-pick and anti-drill – to make your home even safer. In fact, we’re so confident in their performance that, if your home is burgled and entry is achieved by snapping the master lock, we’ll compensate you with a £2,000 guarantee.  After your door has been installed, simply activate your guarantee and you’re covered!

 Question 3: Are aluminium doors worth the expense?

Whilst aluminium doors upfront costs might be more expensive than alternatives like uPVC, they prove their worth financially in the long run. Our doors provide exceptional longevity – they don’t warp, rot or swell – something uPVC can’t match.

The impressive strength-to-weight ratio of aluminium also allows for greater design flexibility. We can offer slim sightlines and premium aesthetics that you can’t achieve with alternative materials.

Question 4: How much maintenance will I need to carry out on my aluminium doors?

Aluminium’s low-maintenance advantage is unmatched by competing materials. Homeowners who choose aluminium only need to clean their doors’ frames with mild, soapy water, wipe down the glass and lubricate their hinges and locks on occasion.

Whereas a uPVC door, for example, can become discoloured easily when exposed to UV, meaning its appearance dwindles and it soon starts to look worn fairly quickly. Their cheaper make-up also leads to more frequent fixes or even worse, total replacements.

Question 5: Can I personalise my door to suit my home?

In short, yes! Our aluminium doors are highly customisable. Our array of powder-coated finishes and hardware choices allows you to put your own spin on all our products, and craft your door to fit your vision with ease.
