Aluminium Doors: Design and Finish
What to consider when choosing aluminium doors, glazing, frame proportions and powder-coated finishes.

Aluminium Doors: Design and FinishThis finish study supports aluminium doors: design and finish by focusing on surface, colour and material appearance rather than an unrelated door component.
Where aluminium works well
Aluminium is often chosen for glazed entrances, patio openings and modern designs where a slimmer-looking frame and durable factory finish are important. The system, opening size and intended use determine what configurations are available.
Design decisions
- Frame colour and powder-coated finish
- Glass size, privacy and safety specification
- Single, double or wider glazed configuration
- Threshold and weather-sealing details
- Handle style and lock arrangement
- How the frame relates to nearby windows and exterior finishes
Measure the complete opening
The door leaf is only one part of the system. Check the full opening, frame depth, threshold, floor levels and the space required for the door to open. For replacement work, the condition of the surrounding opening matters as much as the new door style.
Before ordering
Send the opening size, photos and the finish you are considering. If you are trying to match existing aluminium windows or another frame colour, include a clear reference photo or colour information where available.
