Fabrication record
What aluminium heritage doors can actually be built to
These are the limits the factory works to, taken from the fabrication data for the system we make this product in. Where a premium route in the same family reaches a better figure, it is shown in the second column and quoted where the project calls for it. Either way this is the envelope, not a quotation: the achievable figures for your opening are confirmed against your drawings and a survey.
| Limit | Standard route | Premium route, where specified |
|---|---|---|
| Frame sightline | 70mm | |
| Panels per run | 1 to 2 | |
| Leaf width | 350 to 900mm | |
| Height | 400 to 2500mm | |
| Maximum leaf weight | 120kg | |
| Glazing unit | 28 to 36mm | 28 to 44mm |
| Glazing options | Double | Double or triple |
| U-value | At quoteDepends on the glass, size and configuration | |
| Security | Multi-point locking with barrel hinges (heritage residential/light-commercial; PAS24 not stated on datasheet). |

It means you lead with the outcome: light, security, clean sightlines, usable openings, buildable details and a specification that suits the drawings.
More on how routes are specified: security and PAS 24 routes and energy efficiency and U-values.
Common questions
How slim are the sightlines on aluminium heritage steel-look doors?
Heritage steel-look doors run slim 37 to 48 mm frame faces where specified, with slender meeting stiles that copy old wrought iron and steel windows. Thin profiles keep more glass on view for a period-correct look while the aluminium carries the strength. See the heritage doors page, and confirm leaf sizes and sightlines at quote.
Can heritage steel-look doors be used internally as well as externally?
Yes. Inside they divide kitchens, living spaces and hallways; outside they fit as entrance, side and rear doors, weather-rated for air, water and wind where specified, with a low-threshold option for level access. Same slim faces throughout. Browse the steel-look internal doors or start a quote.
What glazing and U-values do heritage steel-look doors achieve?
Heritage doors take double or triple glazing up to 44 mm with Georgian-style bars in a configurable grid, from a single horizontal bar to a full multi-pane layout. Acoustic reaches Rw 45 dB where specified. The whole-unit U-value depends on the glass, so we confirm it with the grid and pane sizes at quote.
How secure are aluminium heritage steel-look doors?
Heritage steel-look doors carry multi-point locking. If the door has to be a tested-security (PAS 24) door, say so when you send it and we confirm the route at quote, with laminated glass where the door is overlooked. Slim 37 to 48 mm faces keep the period look. See security for how tested routes work.
What finishes are available on heritage steel-look aluminium doors?
Heritage steel-look doors are powder-coated across RAL, dual-colour and anodised-style routes, with matt black the most popular for an authentic steel look. Internal and external faces can differ. Finishes are durable and low-maintenance. For homeowner projects we route enquiries to vetted installers via find an installer; confirm colour at quote.
