Aluminium doors and windows are increasingly specified due to the inherent durability, low profile and light weight. Aluminium is an extremely durable material that is particularly suited to our local climatic conditions. This is especially true for coastal areas, where aluminium is specified for this very reason.

For doors, specifically sliding doors, that are installed in patio areas their relatively low weight make them popular from a practical point of view. Their thermal efficiency can be improved, typically with the use of a thermal break. In terms of finishes, a powder coating is a common option with a range of colours on offer. If you are replacing existing doors this allows you to match the doors to the theme of your home.
