Aluminium Patio Doors
Over the past decade aluminium has made a big comeback in doors and especially aluminium patio doors.
It used to be the case that aluminium came a poor second to plastic in terms of available colours, security, quality of running gear and general appearance.
Then Smart Architectural Aluminium Systems changed the landscape. Today’s aluminium patio doors are a quantum leap in design and aesthetic. The standard range of colours that can be ordered on short lead times exceed 20.
Quality Finishes by Aluminium Windows Ltd
And any RAL number you’d care to think of can be supplied. Of, course that includes different colours inside and out.
Its worth remembering that a high quality powder coating is the ideal protection from Southampton’s aggressive seaside weather.
It is even possible to colour match with older faded colours.
These beautiful products are now available from Aluminium Windows Ltd in Southampton. We are the local manufacturers of aluminium doors, windows and curtain walling using Smart System profiles
Strength
Most commercial builders and many home owners now realise that the many advantages of opting for aluminium over plastic make the choice the proverbial “no brainer”.
Take aesthetic for starters. Aluminium is a far stronger material than plastic and requires no reinforcing. This means that it is light weight and makes for greater ease of operation….just a light finger pressure is all that’s needed.
Greater strength makes for slimmer more elegant frames. This means more area of glass which gives you a fuller view of your garden and lets more natural light flood into your home.
Low Thresholds
Then there’s the threshold. If you have a traditional plastic patio door you’ll be used to having to step over a big clumsy threshold to get through the door.
A few companies have managed to offer slight improvements, but nothing that prevents people unused to the obstacle tripping over it.
A new patio door from Aluminium Windows Ltd solves the problem. Not only is the standard threshold much, much smaller, but you can even have a threshold suitable for wheelchair access.
High Security
Security is one of the main reasons for replacing old patio doors and it is here that you will find that you can’t do better than aluminium.
To begin, the framework is all metal and so far better to resist forced entry. The glass has to be toughened, but can also be laminated or Georgian wired for additional strength.
All of the running gear is protected against levered lifting and it is virtually impossible to remove the individual doors from the outside.
And then we come to the locking mechanism. The locking system is the latest development in high security, incorporating tamper-proof latches and multiple locking points.
All of these are locked in place with a 5 lever barrel lock and meet or exceed the stringent requirements of the Association of British Insurers.
