Aluminium doors have rapidly risen in popularity in recent times, and are becoming extremely desirable options for homes across Suffolk.

Whilst homeowners in our beautiful county are being presented with more choices than ever before, such as uPVC, composite, and traditional wooden doors, the style, security, and versatility of aluminium doors are key reasons for their upturn in appeal.

This blog will explore their benefits in detail, before explaining the stunning selections on offer from Dream Installations.

Versatility

The first reason why you should choose a high quality aluminium door for your Suffolk home is its versatility.

Being versatile means the material can perfectly complement any property type, whether you reside in a traditional countryside cottage or a contemporary new build in the heart of Great Yarmouth.

This is largely thanks to aluminium’s ability to be finished in various RAL styles, meaning it’s simple to create the door of your dreams or match your current aesthetic.

Aluminium is also incredibly versatile when it comes to styles – with Dream Installations offering entrance and bifold doors with a range of glazing, hardware, and locking options.

Durability

An issue with timber doors is their lack of durability – over time they are prone to cracking or being damaged due to unpreventable factors like the weather, or even pesky insects like beetles laying eggs on it, creating holes in the material in the process.

No one wants a door so susceptible to the elements, as that can lead to costly maintenance further down the line, both in a financial and time-consuming sense.

This is where aluminium can give you total peace of mind. It’s weather resistant, perfect for dealing with inconsistent British weather conditions, and if it does become dusty, all it needs to be restored to its finest condition is a quick wipe with a damp cloth. This durability makes it an ideal choice for exterior doors, especially in areas with harsh weather conditions. This is another significant advantage over timber, where stains are incredibly tough to remove.

Aluminium is also incredibly strong, making it resistant to impact and helping to secure your Suffolk home.

Lightweight

Linking back to the desirability of convenience in 2024, aluminium’s lightweight build means it certainly falls into this category.

As we’re sure you’ve found out, timber doors are cumbersome, making them impractical for wider openings, and heavy to open.

Having a lightweight door is incredibly useful if you’re carrying heavy bags of shopping, as well as aiding those with limited mobility.

It also protects the architectural structure of your home, as there’ll be less pressure on the walls and hinges as a result of the light door.

Light doors also give you a greater sense of space, feeling far less imposing than a wooden option.
