WHY ALUMINIUM?

Why Aluminium?

The Future of Entrance Doors

Aluminium is one of the most advanced materials available for modern entrance doors. It is strong, stable, durable and highly versatile, making it ideal for high-performance home door construction.

At Dortech Doors, our Enhanced Home Door is manufactured from energy-efficient thermally broken aluminium, providing excellent thermal performance, long-term strength and modern design freedom.

01

Infinitely Recyclable

Aluminium is an environmentally friendly material and can be recycled again and again without losing its core qualities.

02

Built to Last

Our doors typically last 10 to 15 years longer than composite or PVCu alternatives, with a potential lifespan of up to 45 years.

03

Security Strength

Aluminium is strong, rigid and capable of withstanding attack, helping support PAS24 and Secured by Design performance.

04

Design Freedom

Aluminium can be finished in virtually any RAL colour and manufactured in larger sizes with slimmer sightlines.

Strong, Stable and Robust

Unlike other materials, aluminium does not rust, or warp, but offers excellent long-term resistance and remains dimensionally stable in changing temperatures.

  • More robust and dimensionally stable than many alternative materials
  • Will not rust, rot or warp like some traditional materials
  • Hard wearing and long lasting
  • Requires less maintenance than wooden, composite or PVCu doors

Larger Doors. Slimmer Sightlines.

Aluminium’s structural strength means we can create larger doors, stronger frames and bigger glass areas while maintaining thinner, more elegant aluminium profile widths.
