Designing A Stylish Entrance With Aluminium

 
Updating your front door? Graham Lindsay, Managing Director at Weru UK, discusses the increasing popularity of aluminium entrance doors and how they can provide a bespoke solution and allow you to create a truly unique front door.

A Premium Product

No longer an afterthought, front doors are now becoming a key design choice. Many homeowners are now choosing a stylised aluminium door, with unique features such as auto locking, bespoke RAL colour tones and LED lighting. An aluminium entrance door is a high-value item, but the wrong choice could incur the need for replacement in less than 10 years. If you are willing to look at the higher end of the market, you will have an investment for life as well as the wow factor. At Weru UK, we are proud to offer a range of aluminium doors that bring stylish kerb appeal along with the unrivalled quality that comes with true German engineering, to make an entrance to be proud of.

Complete Design Freedom

A front door forms the first impression of your home, and an aluminium entrance door will enable you to make yours stand out from the crowd.

Endless customisation options offer the opportunity to create a truly unique and entirely bespoke entrance, ranging from design to colour and finish. Side panels can be built in to incorporate feature glazing, there are hundreds of different types and sizes of handles to choose from and you can even select your style of door hinges with an aluminium door. At Weru UK, we also offer a huge variety of finishes to make your door individual to you - light or dark colours, stone, iron, slate, wood and more. Corten, which looks like weathered steel, is currently trending.

Strength of Aluminium

Another major selling point of aluminium is that it is inherently strong, meaning it can support large glass panes, facilitating increased natural light while creating a modern aesthetic. You can even choose sandblasted glass with a Weru door, which offers privacy whilst not restricting light penetration into your home.

An aluminium door is very much a door for life. Much thicker than a composite door, our aluminium models can measure up to 10cm thick, providing unmatched strength and robustness. This also allows for quadruple glazing, if you want to incorporate a decorative glass element into your design.

Insulation Properties

A great choice for the energy-savvy, aluminium doors are among the best on the market for their insulation properties. With a strong design appeal and outperformance for durability and strength, Weru aluminium doors feature a high level of thermal efficiency with ThermoPlus insulation. If your door design features decorative glass, our quadruple glazing will still ensure excellent thermal performance.

Security Features and State-of-the-Art Technology
With state-of-the-art technology and quadruple glazing as standard, aluminium entrance doors can have a wide range of security features, increasing your confidence in the safety of your home.

As well as a deadlock, AutoLock technology means that once your door has simply been pulled to, up to four latch bolts secure the door fully automatically proving highly effective against break-in attempts.

Biometric entry with a finger scan on the door handle is popular with our customers, and with modern technology, it is now even possible to open your front door through a mobile app.

Our ATRIS-life traditional door models allow a property to maintain its traditional integrity, yet enhance the thermal properties and security features of a home. These models combine elegant, timeless shapes with decorative elements. Characteristic features are the glazed sections in the traditional style, as well as the hand-crafted glass art, facets or ornamental mouldings.
