Commercial Aluminium Doors & Framing

Commercial aluminium doors, shopfront-style framing and entrance screens for contractor-led projects.

We fabricate aluminium systems to recognised product standards and specify the route per project at quote, based on the opening, drawings, performance target, glass and finish.

Lead time confirmed at quote, never a guess. Pricing per project, never a stock figure.

How we specify

The right product route is chosen per project

Exact specification (U-value, sizes, weights, security class, finish) is confirmed per project at quote, selected to suit the trade brief.

It means you lead with the outcome: light, security, clean sightlines, usable openings, buildable details and a specification that suits the drawings.

Common questions

Do your commercial aluminium doors meet PAS 24 and STS 202 BR2 security ratings?

Yes. Our commercial aluminium doors and framing are specified to PAS 24, STS 202 BR2 and Secured by Design routes, with locking, hardware and laminated glazing tested to suit. Door leaves run up to 1.2 m by 2.4 m at up to 110 kg, so heavy-duty entrances are covered. We confirm the route per project at quote. See security.

Can you integrate access control and door entry systems into commercial framing?

Yes. Commercial entrance framing, at 122 mm depth with 55 mm door leaves, takes access control: electric strikes, mag locks, panic hardware, card readers and automatic operators. We coordinate cut-outs, cabling and reinforcement at design stage so the door and ironmongery suit each other. Confirm your control spec when you request a quote.

What safety glass do you use in commercial aluminium doors and screens?

Commercial doors and framing glaze from 24 to 40 mm with toughened or laminated safety glass in critical locations. Specifications cover impact safety, manifestation, plus acoustic or solar control where needed. Whole-unit U-values run from 1.2 W/m²K where specified. Glass make-up is confirmed against your brief at quote. See energy efficiency for glazed elements.

Will the doors stand up to high-traffic commercial entrances?

Yes. Our commercial aluminium doors take high-frequency use, with heavy-duty hinges, robust closers and reinforced corners rated for repeated daily cycles. Leaves up to 1.2 m by 2.4 m and 110 kg are carried on hardware matched to the weight. Aluminium resists warping, so entrances stay square. We match hardware grade to footfall at quote.

How do you support specifiers and architects on commercial projects?

We support architects, contractors and specifiers direct: fabrication to BS EN 14351-1 and BS EN 13830 routes, UKCA marking, Declaration of Performance and test evidence. Full RAL, dual-colour, woodgrain and textured finishes are available. As a Council for Aluminium in Building member we back the spec with technical detail. Start with the project enquiry form.

Proof, not promises

Specified and made by people who have fitted it

Paul Fradley, Director and Technical Lead, has worked almost every role in windows and doors across more than twenty years: surveyed, fabricated on the floor, fitted on site, then ran the technical and operations side. He leads the spec on every project, so what we quote is what we fabricate.
