What are the key benefits of choosing aluminium?
The key benefits of aluminium front doors include:
Attractive modern, sleek appearance
Very strong, durable and secure
Customers can rest assured that aluminium won’t crack, warp or rust
Energy efficient when combined with an insulated core
Custom-built to your customers’ exact needs
Low maintenance.
How does aluminium compare to other materials?
Quality wooden and aluminium doors will both perform well, but there are some unique advantages offered by aluminium that other materials don’t compete with. For example, aluminium doors don’t require a lot of maintenance. Most wooden doors will need retreating at some point to keep the wood in good order. If wooden doors are not maintained sufficiently, they can become vulnerable to warping and changing shape because moisture can get into the grains of the wood and it expands and contracts. Wood can also become infested with mites if not treated regularly.
If specified and installed properly, high quality aluminium are watertight, for optimum durability and longevity to the homeowner. They are also resistant to warping in different weather conditions. Once a door warps, the entire functionality is compromised. It can lead to gaps between the door and the frame creating draughts and water leakages, and in worst case scenarios, can mean the door won’t open and close properly.
Although wood is naturally a good insulator, draughts do often get in over a few years because of warping. Thermally-broken aluminium doors have been developed to rival and often exceed the insulating properties of wooden doors.
Origin Front Doors are coated with a high-quality finish to prevent the small risk of rust. Find out more here.
