Although originally used for commercial purposes, aluminium doors are now commonly used for residential homes due to their versatility. Aluminum is extremely robust and can support very large glass surfaces. Therefore, it is ideal for modern applications, such as floor-to-ceiling designs, panoramic views, and oversized dimensions.

Aluminum doors offer much slimmer profiles, for those seeking a minimalist and sleek appearance. This is often difficult to achieve with vinyl doors, as they require a thicker frame in order to support the weight of the glass. In terms of energy efficiency, both our uPVC (unplasticized vinyl) and aluminum doors offer exceptional performance, with U values under 0.9 (W/m²K). Depending on the architectural requirements, aluminum may be the better choice.

Aluminum doors can have a lifespan of over 30 years. Of course, not all aluminum doors are manufactured the same. Since aluminum is a conductive material, the door frame needs to be thermally broken in order to be energy efficient and to perform under our Canadian conditions. Triple glazing, glass thickness, and the number of gaskets also play an important role in the door’s durability. Additionally, optional protective coatings, such as anodization, reduce exterior maintenance and prevent rust. Our entire product line offers thermally broken frames, triple glazing, and three gaskets for maximum quality and long-term performance.

Thanks to their high load-bearing capacity, aluminum doors can reach heights up to 13 ft and widths of over 10 ft. Each unit is tailored according to our clients’ needs.
