Aluminium Door Prices In 2023

Factors affecting aluminium door prices

Sliding or hinged – Sliding doors are slightly more expensive than hinged doors. One of the reasons is the cost of the track system of the sliding door, which is more expensive than using hinges.

The benefits of aluminium doors

Thermal efficiency – aluminium doors provide great thermal efficiency, keeping the heat inside your home during winter and the cool air in during summer.

Weather resistant – aluminium doors are the perfect choice for anyone looking for weatherproof doors. They boast the highest ratings of water tightness and can withstand extreme winds. This makes them ideal for both commercial and residential properties.

Customisable – aluminium can be customised to a variety of colour, finish, glazing and accessory combinations, making it the perfect material for your unique taste.

Noise – if you’re looking for a door that will provide better soundproofing, you should opt for a door with thicker glass. Aluminium doors can support heavier glazing than uPVC or timber doors, making them ideal if you suffer from serious noise pollution.

Aluminium door maintenance

In order to keep your aluminum doors and windows in good condition (specifically their frames), it is important to only use soft, non-abrasive cloths to wipe them down. The detergent you use is also important – abrasive cleaning agents can damage the frames over time.

There is no definitive answer as to how often you should clean your windows, but we would recommend doing it at least every two months.

Cleaning the frames from the outside:

Spray down your doors with a hosepiepe, this will help remove superficial dirt and dust. Then with your non-abrasive cloth and detergent, gently scrub the frames. Wipe down the frames with a soft cloth to make sure the water is not dripping and drying – this will cause streaks and it will be noticeable. Hose down your frames again, there is no need to dry your frames as the water is now clean and won’t leave any marks.

Cleaning the frames from the inside:

You will follow the same steps as mentioned above, except you will use a sponge and bucket to remove the superficial dirt and dust. It is not recommended to use a hosepipe on your interior frames.
