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. Single and double leaves up to 1.8 m by 1.8 m. See the heritage doors page.

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. Whole-unit U-values from 1.0 W/m²K and acoustic up to Rw 45 dB where specified. Confirm the grid, pane sizes and whole-unit Uw at quote.

How secure are aluminium heritage steel-look doors?

Heritage steel-look doors carry multi-point locking and can be specified to PAS 24 tested-security routes, with laminated glass where the door is overlooked. Slim 37 to 48 mm faces keep the period look while the aluminium frame resists forced entry. See security for the routes, then confirm locking and glass at quote.

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.
